With the continuing pandemic and new Omicron variant, there has never been a more important time for Americans to eat healthier and more thoughtfully. For some, resolutions have been made to lose weight. Others may be determined to eat less meat or no meat at all for ethical, health or budgetary reasons.

Many people have discovered that their bodies require certain dietary restrictions such as avoiding gluten, dairy, nuts or soy. It would be rare to find anyone in Houston who isn't looking to cut back on something, whether it's sugar, fat or alcohol. With all the burger joints and steakhouses opening up, we Houstonians need a little balance in our options. We have a list of restaurants, cafes, bakeries, shops and farmers markets where the guesswork has been taken out of the menu choices and customers can feel good about ordering a nutritious meal or a healthier version of a treat.
