6 Healthy LA Eateries to Add to your Rotation

For the past few months, LA has really been my home base. This meant getting to explore my beloved city even more, and adding a few new healthy spots to my repertoire. If you’ve been to LA, you know that a new, trendy spot is popping up every other day, and I so enjoy the adventure of trying the new kid on the block. With that said, I also have my tried-and-true go-to’s when I know exactly what I want, or when I have guests in town.

I don’t subscribe to one particular diet, besides the notion that 80-90% of my diet is clean, unprocessed, whole foods, and 10-20% is (healthy-ish) indulgences. For that reason, when looking for new spots to try, I’m not necessarily looking for “vegan” or “vegetarian” places; I’m more looking for high quality, locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients and places/people that share the same values about food and the planet as I do.

So, without further ado, here are 6 healthy LA eateries to add to your rotation! Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried any of these restaurants, and share your healthy LA recs, too!

1. Gjelina – go for dinner and get one of their to-die-for pizzas; fair warning that it’s always crowded
2. Café Gratitude – one of my go-to’s for fresh, consistent takeout; vegan fare that doesn’t disappoint
3. Malibu Farm – I love bringing visitors here for brunch on the pier; everything on the menu is stellar
4. Sqirl – on-point aesthetics and perfect for lunch with friends
5. P.Y.T. – veggie-centric, locally-sourced (Montecito Heights) ingredients, with a beautiful atmosphere
6. The Butcher’s Daughter – perfect for when you find yourself in Venice on a Sunday morning and you want equal parts trendy and traditional; I used to frequent their OG location in NYC when I was studying at NYU
