We know how hard it can be to eat healthy when dining out, but thankfully our fine city of Chesapeake, VA has quite the spread when it comes to healthy restaurants. There are so many, in fact, that we’ve gathered together a chosen few and listed them down below so you can get a head start on your next dining experience – just to help you out! Check out some of our favorites:
1. Clean Eatz
This eatery creates healthy cuisine using fresh ingredients. They serve wraps, burgers, bowls, sides, and smoothies, and they also have gluten-free and keto options. Start with a superfood salad or whole-grain pretzel bites with low-sodium cheese sauce. For a meal, we highly suggest the build-your-own-bowl option. Choose a base, like quinoa or brown rice, a protein, veggies, and sauce. We also recommend that you try the chicken pesto or vegetarian wrap! They are located at 1036 Volvo Pkwy. #3.
2. The Cutting Edge Cafe
Located at 1434 Sam’s Dr. #102, this comfortable cafe is known for its salads, homemade bread, paninis, and veggie cuisine. You’ll find lots of tasty gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options. Order a bowl of the tomato basil or chickpea and rosemary soup for a delightful, warm dish. Add to that the falafel salad, which comes with greens, cucumber, tomato, hummus, and garlic yogurt. Or, try the blackened vegan chicken with greens, mango, onion, and aioli on flatbread – your tastebuds will thank you!
3. CAVA
For delicious and nutritious Mediterranean food, stop here at 801 Eden Way N. They create fresh bowls, pitas, and salads in a counter-serve setting. We recommend the balsamic date chicken, the harissa avocado, or the lemon chicken bowl. Or you can simply build your own bowl. The chef-curated pitas are also a fine choice. Try the crispy falafel, the spicy lamb meatball, or the Greek chicken pita. Do you need to feed a group? Ask about their catering services!
4. Alkalicious Cold Pressed Juice Bar
This establishment has great juices and smoothies as well as bowls and vegan dishes. Start with the Kalicious juice, which has kale, cucumber, lemon, apple, and ginger, or a Power Blast smoothie with spinach, cucumber, banana, mango, and walnuts. Or have the strawberry kiwi bliss or the acai bliss smoothie. For food, we highly recommend the chickpea chowder soup, the basil pesto panini, or the vegan grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. This spot is located at 733 Eden Way N Ste 402.
