After weeks of rich desserts and holiday snacks, it may be time for a reset. The good news is that eating better doesn’t mean eating boring. The Woodlands offers plenty of reliable spots where healthy food still tastes like a treat. These restaurants make it easy to stick to better habits without giving up flavor. Clean eating can still be a treat if one knows where to look.
And everyone can use a guide. Here are the Best Healthy Food Restaurants in The Woodlands:
Bellagreen's seasonal menu includes the black bean and sweet corn stack, suitable for vegetarians and gluten-free.
Every item on bellagreen’s menu is made from scratch, which makes it easy for diners to customize any meal. From gluten-free and dairy-free to vegetarian options, bellagreen doesn’t skimp on flavor. Ingredients such as kale and quinoa keep things fresh and satisfying, while sandwiches, salads and pizzas give everyone a solid option for a healthy meal.
Wagyu beef burgers and meatballs share the spotlight with salmon and chicken, but the pizzas are just as popular. Don’t miss the Fig & Pig pizza. Fresh fig jam, prosciutto, three cheeses and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar make it a standout.
