Counting calories by yourself to lose weight is no fun.  The bottom line and what should be taken into consideration while trying to lose weight is to have a diet that is properly balanced and contains all the nutrients that will aid in order to keep you healthy without having to worry about getting overweight.  Applebee’s Weight Watcher’s entrees are specially tailor made to offer just that to its customers and all the menus give a precise breakup of the calories gained against each item listed.  Weight Watcher points gained are also mentioned against each item on the Applebee’s Menu.

Begin with the 490 calories Asian Crunch Salad.

For people with large appetites, the 450 calories worth, juicy and large Grilled Dijon Chicken & Portobello’s is the best choice.  It looks sinfully heavy with a covering of Dijon mayonnaise and cheese.  The portion is so huge you might end up having to take home the rest of what you could not eat.

For the entree you could order either the 390 calories Asiago Peppercorn Steak or the 290 calories Grilled Shrimp & Island rice.

The Weight Watchers menu at Applebee’s also has special items on it like Steak and Portobello’s, Garlic Herb Chicken and the new Paradise Chicken Salad which is charred breast of chicken dressed with an even mix of pineapple in salsa sauce, green apples, mandarin oranges and crisp red cabbage.

For steak eaters, the Asiago Peppercorn Steak is a terrific item containing zero fat.  The dish is a lean steak cut from the sirloin and is served with a mix of steamed veggies.

The Island Shrimp served with mandarin oranges and a tiny portion of rice is a good choice for seafood lovers.

Applebee’s Florentine Ravioli with Chicken – Review

Applebee’s have recently added two new stuffed pasta dishes to its menu – Provolone Stuffed Meatballs and Florentine Ravioli with Chicken. And the good news is that both these menu items are available in its 2 for $20 menu.  So you can now savor the rich taste and aroma of these Italian dishes in Applebee’s 2 for $20 value menu.  These new items from Applebee’s menu can also be ordered as stand-alone items apart from the 2 for $20 menu.  The new stuffed pasta dishes now pair up with Applebees menu items which include Boneless Buffalo Wings, Fish N Chips, Riblets, Honey Grilled Salmon, and Chicken Quesadilla.  We have already reviewed ‘Provolone Stuffed Meatballs With Fettuccini‘ in our last post.  In this post, we will give a review of Applebee’s ‘Florentine Ravioli with Chicken’.

Applebees Florentine Ravioli Chicken comprises of half moon raviolis filled with a mixture of spinach and tender Italian cheese, served over a bed of spinach, chopped Bruschetta tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and roasted red peppers cooked with brown butter and herbs; and all this is topped with Applebee’s Alfredo sauce with roasted garlic.  And, on top of the dish you will find sliced grilled chicken and shaved Parmesan cheese, and the dish is served with breadstick.  The portions are quite generous and filling.

The effect of these contrasting ingredients is just marvelous.  The combination of the ravioli, grilled chicken, Alfredo sauce and spinach is really very delicious.  It is very difficult to get this taste in home made dishes.  The grilled chicken and pasta blended with other ingredients also have a great visually appeal.  The dish is also a good choice for those who love veggies as there are a lot of vegetables in the entrée.

Applebees menu has several pasta dishes apart from the Florentine Ravioli.  These include Chicken Broccoli Pasta Alfredo Bowl, Three Cheese Chicken Penne Pasta and Spicy Shrimp Diavolo.  If you order the new pasta dishes as stand-alone items, they are all priced at just $9.99.

We would rate the dish as 4.5 on a scale of 5.  There is one note however for the calorie conscious eater.  If you are looking for a lower calorie option, you can have this dish once in a while – but not regularly, even if its taste is addictive.   This dish has 1,320 calories coming from 88 gms of fat, 70 gms of carbs, 6 gms of fiber and 65 gms of proteins.  There are many healthy options in Applebee’s Weight Watcher’s menu and Under 550 calorie menu for health conscious people.

Review of Applebees Provolone Stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine

Applebee’s 2 for $20 menu deal offers a great value.  This is a super price saver where two people can share an appetizer and two entrees from the value menu for only $20.  The value menu is now stuffed with more flavors and includes two new pasta dishes – Provolone stuffed meatballs with Fetuccine and Florentine Ravioli with Chicken.  Other dishes which are available in the 2 for $20 menu are Riblet Basket, 7 oz. Sirloin, Chicken Tenders Basket, Three-Cheese Chicken Penne, Fiesta Lime Chicken, and Oriental Chicken Salad.  In this article,  we will review Provolone stuffed meatballs with Fetuccine.

The Provolone Stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine looks very delicious from its picture in the menu.  The dish is basically Italian meatballs which have a stuffing  of rich creamy provolone cheese, basked in savory marinara and served on fettuccine pasta smothered with creamy Alfredo sauce.

The meatballs are of pretty good size and there’s quite a lot of provolone cheese stuffed inside them.  Provolone is indeed a good choice for cheese that goes very well in taste with the meatballs.  You’d absolutely love the combination.  There is also a hint of red chili pepper on the meatballs – that adds to the flavor but does not make it too spicy.  This particular dish does not come with any side dishes like garlic bread that normally accompany Applebees menu items. But, even without the extras, the pasta is quite filling.

Though this new exotic dish is very delicious, we should warn you that it is not for the calorie conscious eaters. America has a fetish for cheese and this dish is one prominent example.  Every item in this dish suffers from cheese overload.  Especially, the meatballs are served on a bed of fetuccine with creamy Alfredo sauce – which contains lot of butter, cheese and oil.  In fact, one serving of Applebee’s Provolone-Stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine contains a whooping 1,550 calories !  Nutrition breakdown is : 15% protein, 29% carbs and 56% fat.

If you try a similar dish in a good Italian restaurant, it would not be better than what Applebee’s offers and you would have to pay a much higher price.  Next time, we will review Applebee’s Florentine Ravioli with Chicken.

Applebee’s Gluten Free Foods

Applebee’s not only offers tasty nutritious meals, it also takes into consideration the special needs of different people.  For instance, lots of people have certain medical conditions because of which their doctors ask them to keep gluten out of their diet.  All Applebee’s restaurants may not have a Gluten Free Menu, but they have provided information about Gluten free food items in Applebee’s Menu and other food allergens on their website.

Gluten is a grain protein found in many food items including baked breads and a variety of desserts.  Today, gluten intolerance is on the rise.  Since those who have such a problem have to be careful of what they eat while at home or dining out, many restaurants are making gluten free products available.  Accordingly, Applebee’s too decided to include gluten-free dishes in their menu.

Many restaurants and food companies are reluctant to declare any of their products as being completely gluten-free because of concerns of cross-contamination.  So also, while Applebees does not commit to any of their dishes being 100% gluten free, it does not imply that you can’t have gluten free food at any Applebee’s restaurant.  While placing your order, you just have to inform your server about having to avoid gluten so he can take the required measures to avert gluten contamination.

Having said that, if you have had a gluten-free meal at Applebee’s before, we would love to know what your experience (whether positive or negative) was, through your comments.

Now let us check the gluten-free options in Applebees Menu.

Gluen-free Protein Dishes

High protein seafood and chicken dishes at Applebee’s such as Garlic Herb Salmon, Fiesta Lime Chicken, Cajun Lime Tilapia, and Grilled Dijon Chicken & Portobello are free of gluten for they don’t include accompanying sides.  Gluten can be avoided by not opting for gluten containing items like rice or flat bread as sides for these dishes.  However, remember, potential cross contamination makes it impossible to guarantee that the food will be totally gluten free.

Applebees Healthy Options

Today, an increasing number of people are becoming health and weight conscious.  Such people are concerned about the calorie content of the food they eat.  To cater to the demands of such diners, Applebee’s has included a number of low calorie, healthy options in its menu in a special section titled the Under 550 Calories Menu.

What makes these dishes even more appealing is that the serving sizes are substantial and filling despite the low calories.  Besides, Applebees makes smart substitutions, like grilling the fish or chicken instead of frying it; serving a salad, fruit or vegetables instead of the usual fried onion rings, or mashed or French fries; substituting whole-wheat buns for white bread; and offering dressings and sauces on the side.

Consider this.  At Applebee’s you can even enjoy a beef dish, generally considered fattening, with less guilt.  The Asiago Peppercorn Steak is high on flavor, not calories.  Here, the lean, 7-oz. sirloin steak is grilled and topped with melted Asiago cheese and cracked peppercorns.  The sides include seasonal vegetables and steamed potatoes and these are not drowned in butter or a cream sauce.  The entire dish adds up to just 390 calories and though it has 14g fat, this is a whole lot lesser than in most other steak options.

The Grilled Dijon Chicken and Portobellos has marinated and grilled chicken breast that is topped with roasted onions, red peppers, Portobello mushrooms, aged cheddar cheese and Dijon sauce and served with seasonal vegetables and herb potatoes.  This meal has under 550 calories.  What makes this dish healthy, is: the grilled chicken, peppers, mushrooms, and onions, instead of them being creamed or fried; a Dijon sauce with a low-calorie mustard base; and the inclusion of herbed, boiled potatoes and assorted vegetables in place of creamed or buttery versions.  The dish has lower than one fourth of the fat in the Fiesta Lime Chicken.

Applebee’s Spicy Shrimp Diavolo features shrimp and chopped tomatoes mixed with a tomato-basil, diavolo sauce that is spiced up with chili-seasoning.  The shrimp mixture is spread over whole-wheat penne pasta, and then sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.  This dish is full of flavor and since the hot diavolo sauce contains diced tomatoes cooked without any meat, it is also low in calories.  The use of whole wheat pasta and shrimp without any breading or frying makes this dish even healthier.

Then, the Asian Crunch Salad, an original Applebee’s creation, has grilled chicken breast and lots of crunchy salad greens accompanied with roasted red peppers, sugar snap peas, onions, and cucumbers.  A tangy Asian vinaigrette dressing, and a sprinkling of cilantro and sliced almonds completes this crunchy, 490 calories Asian dish.  Antioxidant-rich almonds and wholesome ingredients are the high points of this meal.

Applebee’s was incorporated in the early 1980s as a family-friendly, casual dining restaurant. Since then, it has expanded to almost 2,000 restaurants across the US and abroad.  Providing healthy and tasty low calorie meals has only added to its popularity.
