    Toast news

    Healthy cafe Toastique brings fancy toasts and smoothies to Uptown Dallas

    Toastique, a D.C.-born cafe chain known for its fancy toasts, healthy juices, and smoothie bowls, is set to open its doors in Uptown Dallas’ West Village development next month.

    According to a release, the cafe will debut at 3839 McKinney Ave., Suite 135, in Uptown, on Saturday, February 21. It’s the third Dallas-area location for Toastique, joining restaurants in Addison and Flower Mound.

    The chain got its start in Washington, D.C., when former collegiate cheerleader Brianna Keefe opened the first location in 2018. It’s since expanded to a number of restaurants across the country, including Texas outposts in El Paso and Austin.

    The Uptown Dallas location will be operated by locals Dilpreet Singh and Brinderjeet Sidhu, who chose the West Village space in part because of its proximity to the Katy Trail, which attracts 4 million runners, walkers, and other healthy types a year — the perfect clientele for a restaurant focused on healthy eats like smoothie bowls, fresh-pressed juices, and of course, the namesake toasts.

    “We believe Toastique and the mission of the brand fits in perfectly with the West Village and couldn’t be more excited to see our neighbors enjoy our menu, whether stopping in after a workout or meeting friends to catch up,” Sidhu says in a release.

    Toastique’s menu includes a variety of sweet and savory toasts, including a riff on the ubiquitous avocado toast topped with watermelon radish and chili oil, and the PB Crunch Toast, loaded with bananas, granola, berry jam, and honey-roasted peanut butter.

    Protein waffles, smoothies, and juices are also on the menu, along with slices of plain ol’ toast in four different flavors (including a gluten-free option) for the picky eaters in your crew.

    The cafe also boasts an extensive coffee menu, which includes classic hot and iced beverages like Americanos and lattes alongside collagen-spiked creations like a blueberry-lavender latte made with almond milk and fresh berries. There’s also nitro cold brew, chai tea, matcha, and iced tea on offer, along with fresh coconut water, wellness shots, and bottled juices to take home and consume later.

    The first 50 toast fans in line on opening day, February 21, at the West Village debut will receive $50 in Toastique rewards to use on future purchases at the restaurant. They’ll also run a full week of specials to celebrate the grand opening, including $5 juice on tap on Monday, February 23, and $6 smoothies that Wednesday.

    Frozen treats

    Texas' Blue Bell ice cream jumps on the protein bandwagon with new line

    Blue Bell Pro has 33 grams of protein or more per serving.

    The famous Brenham, Texas-made ice cream brand Blue Bell is flexing a new product line: a "high-protein frozen dairy dessert." Called Blue Bell Pro, it supplies 33-35 grams per serving depending on the flavor.

    That's more than an Ensure meal replacement shake or a cup of cottage cheese, which influencers can't stop putting in every recipe.

    The forthcoming line includes five flavors: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coffee, and salted caramel.

    Fueled by the popularity of GLP-1 weight loss medications and social media trends, "high-protein" is one of the hottest food and nutrition categories of the moment. Blue Bell now goes head to head with cult-favorite Halo Top and other high-protein desserts in the frozen food aisles.

    But, what is a "frozen dairy dessert?" Other Blue Bell flavors are labeled as ice cream, but this product line seems not to meet the Food and Drug Administration's qualifications for ice cream. It would need to be at least 10 percent milkfat by weight to make the cut.

    The Blue Bell Pro recipe is also gluten-free, has 25-27 grams of carbs per serving, and has zero grams of added sugar. Although Blue Bell hasn't released the full nutrition information for Blue Bell Pro, it already sells one "no sugar added country vanilla" ice cream, which contains polydextrose, Splenda Brand sucralose, and other sweeteners.

    There are more straightforward ways than icy desserts to get more protein in your diet, and it is possible to have too much.

    According to the Mayo Clinic, the average sedentary adult should eat 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, which would be 60 grams a day for someone who weighs 165 pounds. People who exercise regularly should instead eat 1.1-1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight (75-90 grams for the same 165-pound person), and heavy trainers should eat more. A cap of 150 grams would be "excessive" for this hypothetical person, even if they exercise a lot.

    Blue Bell says Blue Bell Pro is coming to grocery st in spring 2026.
