What is #healthy? Health looks different for everyone. So when we talk about healthy restaurants, we mean empowering diners with as much information necessary to make an informed decision about your next meal.
Spoiler: there will be a lot of organic options because in an increasingly complicated and trick-marketing world of our industrial food complex, knowing where our food comes from is the most valuable information.
Here are our picks of healthy vegan-friendly restaurants in Bend, Oregon we think are worth trying.
1. Cafe Yumm!
Jazzy Yumm! Bowl
After 28 years of catering to dietary restrictions of all kinds, Cafe Yumm! is a seasoned chain found across the Pacific Northwest of the US. Not only are they certified organic but they also have a thorough nutritional guide for every dish and customisable options such as their sauces and other add-ons.
If you’re looking for a straightforward low-calorie vegan option, their Jazzy Yumm! Bowl is the uncontested choice! Add-ons like their Roasted Corn and Mild Red Salsa are also your more calorie-friendly options. It’s all up to you how you want to balance out your meal in a rice bowl or a convenient wrap!
