Whether you want some yummy food that is still healthy-ish, or you’re sticking with the whole “new year, new me” vibe and trying to clean up your diet, here are some local restaurants around STL that are healthier and still tasty.
The Wolf Cafe – Ballwin
This eccentric cafe is perfect for a lunch out with friends or a quick brunch serving everything from salads to mouthwatering sandwiches like hot honey chicken, grass-fed burgers, or bowls. The Wolf Cafe strives to be sustainable, according to their website, and uses high quality ingredients with a variety of vegan and gluten free options. They have desserts that change often but are always delicious. You wouldn’t even know that they were made with healthier ingredients.
Flower Child – Frontenac
Flower Child has many options for someone aspiring to eat healthier while still getting food that actually tastes good. My personal favorite is their Chicken Enchilada bowl with plenty of spice and a creamy sauce that represents typical enchiladas well. In case that’s not your style, they have plenty of other options with everything from Carolina BBQ Chicken wraps to Mediterranean Chicken Kabob bowls.
Bailey’s Range – Shaw Neighborhood
If you are looking for a delicious burger and a typical American style restaurant this one’s for you. While it is less healthy than most of the options, their grass-fed burgers are to die for. Bailey’s Range makes their own ice cream with no artificial ingredients, which means you can indulge in peace without worrying about all that junk.
Revel Kitchen – Kirkwood
With plenty of options from smoothies and bowls to burritos and juices, you can’t go wrong with Revel Kitchen. This restaurant has many gluten free options,including desserts. Its bowls are easily customizable and perfect to satisfy any craving.
Now that you have some fun restaurants to try out, grab a friend or two and go grab brunch or lunch at one of these fantastic and healthy-ish restaurants.
