balanced nutrition
The Kripalu Kitchen uses high-quality, all-natural ingredients to offer an array of nutritionally sound choices at every meal. Whole grains, fresh vegetables, and legumes form the backbone of the menus, with organic poultry, fish, and dairy products as optional protein sources.
Meals are served buffet-style. Fresh salad fixings and a selection of delicious salad dressings are always available, as are our famous freshly baked breads. Additionally, a macrobiotically influenced Buddha Bar offers legumes, brown rice, sea vegetables, and other simply prepared options.

experiment and enjoy
We encourage you to try new things while you are here and to explore what generates health for you. Many people experiment with portion sizes while they’re at Kripalu, or with trying out more plant-based foods.
Choice is important because each person’s body is unique. We know that the answer to the question, what foods truly nourish and satisfy me? varies from person to person and may change at different times in a person’s life.
