5 Healthy Eats During Newport Beach Restaurant Week
It’s the final few days of Restaurant Week, and it’s safe to say we’ve eaten our fair share of food. But as swimsuit season inches closer, you may be cracking down on your overall calorie consumption. Don’t get us wrong, we love a good burger…but summer is comin’, which means it’s time to clean up those eating habits and add in some fresh, seasonal fare. To help you out, we’ve rounded up five Newport Beach restaurants that are offering delicious deals on healthy eats. From hearty salads to fresh-squeezed juices, these offerings are as easy on the wallet as they are on the waistline!
With a mission to deliver “positively delicious vibes and healthy food” to the people of Newport Beach, Flower Child is a go-to for a health-conscious meal. With vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices and offerings like wraps, salads and bowls, this fast-casual restaurant is sure to put some pep in your step. Fuel up with the Crushed Avocado Toast for breakfast, or opt for their vegan Glow Bowl for a light lunch!
NBRW Offer: Snack on three specialty menu items: the Avocado Caesar Salad ($10.45), Green Goddess Asparagus ($5.50) or Cracked Cauliflower & Quinoa ($5.50).
Born out of love for Mother Earth and admiration for all mothers, Gracia Madre offers a curated selection of plant-based Mexican dishes. Each item is made from scratch using the finest local and organic ingredients! You’ll love everything from their bangin’ brunch menu to their south-of-the-border specials. Healthy never tasted so good!
NBRW Offer: Come enjoy a $30 prix-fixe dinner that includes three courses (Heart of Palm Ceviche Tostada, Chickpea Enmoladas and Carrot Cake with spice frosting).
This fast-casual Mediterranean cafe is a healthy Newport favorite, and for good reason. Their menu features a selection of fresh Mediterranean salads, sandwiches with scratch-made pita, as well as falafel, kabob and shawarma plates. But whatever you choose, be sure to try their hummus and a few of their tasty Greek sauces!
NBRW Offer: Purchase any plate or pita and get one free! (Not valid for online or third-party orders).
Kickstart your day with a fresh-squeezed juice, acai bowl or salad from Thrive Juice Lab! This grab-and-go-style juice bar is a proud “farm-to-cup” establishment that uses only the best organic ingredients. Each of their juices is cold-pressed on location, and their menu was specially created with the help of certified nutritionists and award-winning raw food chefs. With a menu chock-full of superfood smoothies, blended bowls, organic coffee and tea and lunch items like soups and salads, you’ll have trouble deciding what to snack on. But to get the best bang for your buck, check out Thrive’s exclusive NBRW takeout offer.
NBRW Offer: Enjoy $5 off any bowl or salad!
With its expansive patio and seasonal menu, it’s no wonder why True Food Kitchen is the go-spot for a healthy alfresco lunch. The entire restaurant concept was built on the philosophy that food should “make you feel better, not worse.” And anyone who’s experienced the delicious and nutritious cuisine of True Food Kitchen knows this to be true! Each dish—from their soups to their sandwiches—is crafted with wholesome, simple ingredients that work to fuel your body.
