In St. Louis, we’re lucky to have a robust and vibrant restaurant scene. However, St. Louis is known for dishes that aren’t always the healthiest choice… Toasted Ravioli, Gooey Butter Cake, St. Louis-style BBQ, and Frozen Custard, anyone? Fortunately there are lots of healthier options to pick from, when you want to keep your weight loss goals on track while still enjoying a meal away from your own home kitchen. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring at these Thinnergy favorite spots!
The Best Healthy Restaurants in St. Louis
Frida’s
Since 2012, Frida’s in University City has been a town favorite for healthy, nourishing meals. You’ll find vegetarian dishes that are delicious and inspiring. Choose between burgers, salads, wraps, and other healthy options. They have recently expanded with their new restaurant in Benton Park called Station No. 3. Both are great options for vegans, vegetarians, and people looking to eat healthy in St. Louis. The outdoor patio and native garden at Station No. 3 is worth a visit if you haven’t been!
