t's that time of year again. Time to kick it into high gear and get our fitness goals on for 2019!
Last week, we did a poll regarding interest in more meal planning and prepping posts, and a large majority of you voted that the reason you wanted to meal prep was to eat healthier.
I know, I know. We post a TON of #cheatdayeats on our page, but to answer a lot of your questions about how we stay so thin... we aren't always eating these greasy and fatty foods!
Here's our secret: whenever we're not eating out for Houston Hotspots, we are always trying to eat healthy and clean! Life is all about balance! Truth be told, there are also a lot of great guilt-free restaurants in our city, so we're rounding up our favorite 11 spots for you here:
*Note: most (if not all) are gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan friendly!
1. FLOWER CHILD
We fell in love with Flower Child as soon as they opened their doors in Houston last year. Anything you get here will be absolutely delicious and wholesome. You will for sure leave happy and satisfied!
1101 Uptown Park Blvd Suite C-6
Houston, TX 77056
2. TRUE FOOD KITCHEN
True Food Kitchen was inspired by the idea that food should make you feel better, not worse. And this is so true of anything you get at their restaurant. The ingredients that they use in their dishes are always benefit-rich and help you maintain optimum health!
1700 Post Oak Blvd
Houston, TX 77056
3. LUCIO'S
Lucio's is a more upscale option if you're wanting a nice, sit-down meal. The ingredients they use are always top notch and the dishes they create are unique and refined. Not all menu items here are considered "healthy" but there are definitely some health-conscious options like the Awase-Broth Wild Salmon pictured above. While they have French and Italian wines available for purchase, you may also BYOB (corkage fees apply).

4. LOCAL FOODS
A Houston classic for healthy eats prepared with local ingredients.

5. POKEWORKS
Poke is always a great option when you're trying to eat clean, especially at a spot like Pokeworks where you can build your own bowl and control what you'll be putting into your body.

6. VIBRANT
Vibrant is known for their organic, gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free food. All their bread, cheeses, milks, and sausage are made from scratch in house daily.

The quality of what you're eating shines through at Vibrant.
