Base Fit Launches Home Grounds, Offering Creative, Healthy Dining Options

Fans of healthy and delicious foods (so pretty much everyone then) will be happy to learn that there's another new option in town: Home Grounds, from the team behind popular new gym, Base Fit. Located right by Base Fit in Xingfu Ercun, Home Grounds is currently serving a soft launch menu of salads/grains, smoothies, and juices. Check out the full menu on the Base Fit WeChat account. Also note that if you happen to be a member at Base Fit you can get 10 percent off the menu. 

There are four salads on offer, all priced at RMB 50. The base salads are vegetarian/vegan, with the option to add protein in the form of chicken (RMB 12), beef (RMB 18), or sesame-crusted salmon (RMB 20) to any of the salads. We particularly like the sound of the quinoa and pumpkin (pictured at top), which comes topped with feta cheese, and the Asian-leaning brown rice and pickled daikon, which also includes cucumber, bok choy, kale, flaked almonds, and spiced satay dressing. 

The rest of the menu is given over to three smoothies and four freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juices. Of the smoothies, we're particularly keen to try the breakfast "smoosli" (cool name) (RMB 40), a combination of coconut water, Australian manuka honey, yogurt, toasted muesli, banana, and mango, which sounds like it will make a filling on-the-go breakfast after a gym session. 

That being said, Home Grounds are keen to point out that this is not just "gym food." Their ultimate goal is to create a new lifestyle concept based on creative, healthy Australian cuisine (their chef, Joel Bennetts, is from Australia – more on him later) and with a cozy, neighborhood vibe. 

Right now you can order the menu to eat in or take away from Base Fit anytime during their opening hours, daily 10.30am-10pm. Expect Home Grounds to launch their full menu and concept around mid-March.
