New Year, New Me: Healthy Options For Dining Out

South Jersey is a great place to find healthy and tasty food options when you’re dining out. There are a variety of cuisines and dishes that are good for your body, your palate, and support local businesses at the same time. We’ve gathered some local options for restaurants that offer delicious and nutritious dishes:

The story of Mia’s Falafel Bar begins in 2020, right in the middle of COVID-19 quarantine, a complicated time during which founder and owner Mia Eylon spent several hours a day in her kitchen.

LesbiVeggies

LesbiVeggies began in 2018 as a mobile meal prepping company started out of owner, Brennah Lamberts grandmoms (Grams) kitchen. Two years into operations, Lambert (22) had the vision of opening up a brick-and-mortar location to share her delicious recipes and love of the experience behind food. In February of 2021, LesbiVeggies transitioned from a meal prepping college side hustle to a full-service plant based, gluten free restaurant and caterer. Black representation floods the space through art, music, and culture accompanied by Lamberts curated dishes and drinks. Our mission is simple, good food and vibes that bring you back!

EARTH EATS CO. logo

Earth Eats Co.

Earth Eats Co. was founded in 2020 by owner Brianna Palmer after she became passionate about sharing what it means to eat good food. The goal behind Earth Eats Co. is to provide nutritious foods and products that are made with real ingredients – meaning ingredients that come directly from the Earth. Unfortunately since our modern food system relies almost completely on industrial agriculture and livestock production, food has moved further and further away from its natural state. We hope to educate our consumers about what is in their food, how their food is produced, and how certain foods affect their health, so that they can make the choice that is the best for them.
