The Bee’s Knees: Trying to Be (Somewhat) Healthy at Bee Healthy Cafe

11:45 AM EDT on August 30, 2023

Like some of you, I am always searching for the best nutritional food at the best price for lunch, but, in Oklahoma City…it’s kind of hard to find.

With many heathy-eating outlets partnering with clinics, hospitals and “healthplexs”—whatever Newspeak dictionary that is from—with my time, money, and nutritional info at the palm of my naturally-bent hand, I decided to try the Bee Healthy Café.

I've noticed the place from my frequent visits to OU Medical Center over the last couple of years, but for my inaugural trip, I stopped by the locations at 722 North Broadway Ave, Suite 100. The place seemed somewhat new, with the few customers plowing through their lunch-breaks of smoothies, salads, and wraps.

Next to me, a frail woman tried to eat her large wrap in peace, but the abrasive nature of some kids sharing a peanut butter sandwich was an extraordinary distraction. On the defensive, I looked over the menu and tried to find the most heroically heathy entrée I could find.

I came across something that appeared on the bastion of tasty and smart: Vegan Tofudilla Melt ($8.99).
