Mood rings offer convenient color-coded glimpses into our emotional state: red indicates stress, black suggests anger, and green means rich in vitamins, cellulose, and fiber. Green your plate with today's Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of healthy café fare at Bean Sprouts Café in Middleton.

Bean Sprouts Café's wholesome, vegetarian-friendly menu supplies palates with a nutritious array of fresh smoothies, snacks, salads, sandwiches, wraps, pasta, and entrees in portions to please kids ($5.25 for a main dish), adults ($7.95), and big daddies ($9.50). Gather enough forearm strength to punish burly bullies with the spinach, gruyere, and hummus wrap, or satisfy a Lilliputian appetite with the turkey or veggie-tofu Bunchkin Burger. All main dishes come with a choice of healthy side, such as edamame or freshly harpooned banana octopus. Organic baby bites with clever names such as Pea Diddy and Sam I Yam ($2.50 each) and family meal packs cement Bean Sprouts' familial air like a Scythian blood oath.

With its pale-green walls, chalkboard, and glossy cafeteria chairs, Bean Sprouts' breezy, classroom atmosphere provides parents with the perfect place to gaze upon their bundles of joy, or therapeutically overcome painful memories of pigtails superglued to the classroom tarantula's cage. Squeeze through the kid-sized door for a healthy regression to the days when food was hearty and healthful, not served on a stick wrapped with Scotch tape.
