When you’re about to see a high energy theatre show like Starlight Express, you want to make sure you have plenty of energy yourself so that you can enjoy the spectacle to the full. Whether you’re taking the kids or going with friends, eating beforehand is a great idea to ensure you don’t suffer from any hunger pangs during the production. And here at Studio Five restaurant, we’ve curated a menu that will fight off fatigue and ensure you’re pumped for a fantastic show. Here are our top five high energy dishes.
1. Grilled seabass
Lean proteins are a great choice if you want to head to your seat with plenty of energy and retain it throughout the performance. They slow digestion to keep you full for longer and prevent glucose spikes that lead to crashes and fatigue. When booking pre show places to eat near Wembley, look for fish options such as our grilled sea bass. Served with sautéed French beans, toasted almonds and lemon butter sauce, it’s a tasty and filling dish that’s sure to get you pumped.
2. Mixed vegetable korma
Packed with essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients, vegetables are great at fighting fatigue and keeping you feeling at your peak. Opting for our mixed vegetable korma is sure to stave off hunger and give you the boost you need to enjoy the show. Plus, the spices in the sauce improve blood sugar balance and promote a healthy metabolism – perfect for sustained energy levels.
3. Cafreal chicken
A dish like roasted cafreal chicken blends both lean protein and blood sugar-balancing spices like coriander. Together they’re sure to get you pumped and ready for a high octane show. Served with a side of mixed leaf salad with a honey and lemon dressing, it’s the perfect option for those who want to keep carbs low while feeling satisfied.
4. Tarka dahl
Looking for a light vegan meal that will get you pumped? Tarka dahl is the perfect choice. Made with lentils – which are a complex carbohydrate that slows digestion – and packed with fibre, this dish will stabilise your blood sugar and have you feeling energised throughout the show. Served with our homemade bread, it makes for a delicious and nutritious option.
5. Apple and raisin salad
We’ve mentioned the energy-boosting benefits of vegetables above, and a salad is a great way to enjoy them. But by adding seeds in too, you’ll get an extra dose of healthy fats and fibre, promoting prolonged energy. Our apple and raisin salad combines mixed leaves with apple, raisins and pumpkin seeds – which are rich in magnesium and iron – to leave you feeling lively throughout the show.
