Healthy Restaurants and Places to ShopIn this section of the website, you’ll find some of my favorite healthy restaurants and places to shop. Eating out is a lot of fun, but it can be tricky when you’re 100 percent committed to eating a wholesome plant-based diet. Most mainstream restaurants are not ideal choices. A few years ago, a restaurant owner told me that many chefs will use chicken stock or other animal based ingredients to flavor even their plain rice and vegetable dishes. Yikes! So much for carefully selecting only items that appear to be meat free. I’d much rather choose restaurants and businesses that are fully committed to healthy living and eating. Here are some of my favorite places.... Vegan RestaurantsElaine’s Healthy Choice - This is one healthy restaurant you don't want to miss while you're in New Haven Connecticut. Healthy Stores - OnlineSomething Better Natural Foods - If you are planning on buying your staples in bulk, this is a great place to shop. I really like the vegan carob chips they carry. They taste great and are really vegan unlike some of the carob chips you will find in other bulk food stores. Mountain Rose Herbs - One of the very best places to buy organic herbs, butters, clays, and essential oils online. Their prices are great. Healthy Stores – OfflineOrganic Garage - My friend Natalie introduced me to the Organic Garage in Oakville, Ontario several years ago. I’ve been shopping there from time to time ever since. You’ll find a wide selection of organic produce at much lower prices than regular stores. It’s also a great place to stock up on basic organic staples. If you live out of town, it’s well worth the drive. You won’t be disappointed at how much you save. Whole Foods Market - This is one store I love to browse. They’ve got a huge selection of natural foods and products of all kinds. I find it a bit expensive, but you may find it worth checking out if you need some rare ingredients in a hurry. Whole Foods Market has got locations in Canada, the States, and the UK.  Return from Healthy Restaurants and Places to Shop to Homepage
