Eating healthy is much more than a simple fad; it's a lifestyle habit that can totally transform your health and outlook on just about everything. Fortunately, it's easy to find food in Alhambra that's just as delicious as it is healthy. Vege Paradise Whether you're a dedicated vegetarian or just want to explore some unique flavors, one thing's for certain: You won't even notice the absence of meat in your meal at Vege Paradise. This restaurant specializes in vegetarian Chinese food, and most classic dishes are on the menu. For example, the “orange chicken” entree is actually made with mushrooms. Other substitutions are made with soft tofu or pumpkin, but not everything is a vegetarian take on traditional meals. Unique options can also be found on the menu, including crispy oyster mushrooms served with bean curds and pickled cabbage. While most restaurants in the area have one or two relatively healthy options on their menu, we're confident you'll find more choices than most if you dine at one of these four great locations. These restaurants prove that eating healthy doesn't mean you have to forego flavor. more Flame Broiler Visit this Korean quick-service restaurant right here in Alhambra if you want to make finding healthy food as simple as possible. You'll choose a portion size, a base ingredient (rice, vegetables, or salad), and a protein (natural chicken, organic tofu, or Angus beef). Both the beef and chicken options are cooked in a sauce or marinade for maximum flavor. You can even combine chicken and beef to get what Flame Broiler calls its “Half & Half” dish. Vegetarians are sure to enjoy the tofu option; it comes charbroiled, is served on a bed of white or brown rice, and is topped with fresh green onions. Julienne Don't miss one of the region's hidden health-food gems. You'll find mostly breakfast and lunch options here, and the menu is full of classic comfort food favorites. Get started with a grilled filet of beef with rosemary potatoes, or try poached eggs cooked according to your taste. If you're ready for lunch, you won't want to miss the restaurant's tasty sandwiches. Consider getting chicken tarragon salad on rosemary currant bread or roasted lamb with caramelized onions on a ciabatta roll. Julienne also has a gourmet market and gift shop that's perfect for stocking up on cooking supplies and special holiday ingredients. John's Kabob Enjoy the fresh flavor and delicious taste of Mediterranean and Greek cuisine at John's Kabob. This is a family-operated restaurant that serves sandwiches, plates, platters, and daily specials. Favorites like gyros, kafta and lamb kabobs, and chicken shawarma are certainly on the menu, but you can also opt for lighter fare like a veggie plate or Greek salad. We're especially fond of the appetizers; you can get pita bread with hummus, falafel, baba ganoush, or grape leaves. And while John's Kabob is only 10 minutes from Alhambra, they also deliver. This makes getting a healthy meal easier than ever before. Image via Pixabay
