Flower Child
This cute little Dallas restaurant located on Lovers Lane is veggie utopia. Gluten free? They got you. Vegan? They more than got you. Can’t give up that chicken but are determined to eat healthy? They got you there too. Try out their Vegan Red Chili Glazed Sweet Potato (just writing that makes my mouth water), or turn up to a gluten free mac and cheese. Reasonable prices and great eats; guaranteed instant happiness.
Cosmic Café
Cosmic Café is conveniently located in Oak Lawn and is great if you’re looking to bring out your inner yogi. Not only do they offer delicious and veggie based Indian and Mediterranean food but they offer yoga classes too. Oh, and did someone say wine? Cosmic Café is a great place to get the girls together for a yoga class and get a healthy bite to eat afterwards without all the unnecessary logistics.
Green House Market
Get super healthy with Green House Market. Switch that cheeseburger out for a black-bean quinoa burger and the ice cream for some chocolate chia seed pudding. Not only can you find great alternatives for those binge tendencies but the simple and clean setup is sure to clear your mind of all that extra noise. May the healthy foods be with you.
