Gluten-Free Options at Freshii Sundance Calgary

Freshii Sundance offers a wide range of gluten-friendly options across our bowl, salad, and juice menus. Most of our grain bowls use brown rice or quinoa — both naturally gluten-free — and our salads can be built without gluten-containing toppings or dressings. We are not a certified gluten-free facility, and we do prepare wheat-containing items (wraps, wonton strips, some sauces) in the same kitchen, so cross-contact is possible. We're transparent about this so guests can make informed decisions. Guests with non-celiac gluten sensitivity typically find our menu very accommodating; for celiac disease, please speak with our staff directly about your specific needs. For more on our full gluten-free approach, visit our dedicated gluten-free restaurant page.
Best Gluten-Friendly Choices
Gluten-Friendly Bowls
Our grain bowls with brown rice or quinoa are naturally gluten-free in their base ingredients. Avoid crispy wonton strips and soy-heavy sauces (which may contain gluten), and request a rice-based or tahini-based sauce instead. Our best gluten-friendly bowl builds: the Macro Balanced Bowl (chicken, brown rice, broccoli, edamame, teriyaki — confirm teriyaki ingredients at the counter), the Buddha Satay Bowl with brown rice (confirm peanut satay is GF at the counter), and any custom bowl you build with rice, a clean protein, vegetables, and a simple dressing. See our healthy bowls and protein bowls pages for more options.
Gluten-Friendly Salads
Our salads are among the safest gluten-friendly choices on our menu. Use mixed greens or kale as your base, choose any protein except falafel (which may contain wheat), and avoid crispy wonton strips and crouton-style toppings. Our safest gluten-friendly salad dressings are the citrus vinaigrette, the lemon za'atar, the lime-cumin, and the tahini — all straightforward oil and acid-based dressings. See our garden salads, chopped salads, and build-your-own salad formats for maximum customization control.
Gluten-Friendly Juices and Smoothies
Our entire cold-pressed juice menu is naturally gluten-free — pressed from whole fruits and vegetables with no wheat-based additives. Most of our smoothies are also gluten-friendly; confirm that protein powder add-ins are GF if you're adding protein supplements. Our smoothie bowls use granola toppings that may contain oats — ask our staff about the specific granola product if you need certified gluten-free oats.
What to Avoid
The main gluten-containing items at Freshii Sundance are our wraps (wheat tortillas), crispy wonton strip toppings, falafel (which typically contains wheat flour as a binder), and some pre-made sauces that use soy sauce as a base. Always confirm individual sauce ingredients at the counter if you have a formal gluten intolerance or celiac diagnosis, as recipes can change and we want to give you current, accurate information rather than general guidance.
Gluten-Free Catering
We offer gluten-friendly catering configurations for groups and events. Our gluten-free catering page covers how to set up a fully gluten-friendly catering spread for office events, school functions, and private parties. Bowl platters and salad boxes are the most practical gluten-friendly catering format. See our caterer page for full catering options and contact details.
Is Freshii Sundance a certified gluten-free restaurant?
No — we are not a certified gluten-free facility. We prepare wheat-containing items in the same kitchen, so cross-contact is possible. Guests with celiac disease should speak directly with our staff about their specific risk tolerance before ordering.
Are your bowls safe for someone with celiac disease?
This depends on your individual sensitivity level. Our bowl bases (brown rice, quinoa) are naturally gluten-free, but our kitchen is not dedicated GF. We recommend speaking with our staff in-person so they can take precautions appropriate to your situation.
