Those in search of a healthy-ish breakfast option that’s not oatmeal or eggs should head on over to Little Gem. Its almond quinoa pancakes come topped with fresh cream and antioxidant-rich blueberries. They’re light, moist, and a great way to start the morning with something more substantial than a smoothie. $8.

We’ve given a shoutout to this burger a number of times already, but it’s seriously that good. Beets, walnuts, lentils, mushrooms, brown rice, raisins, spices, and smoked sea salt are the alternative-flour power behind this beautiful creation. And it’s all served up on a gluten-free burger bun. $13.

If you’re looking to eat clean without even noticing you’re doing so, raw fish is a no-brainer — and La Mar excels at that genre. Its “cebiche clasico” is made with a California halibut cooked in a leche de tigre, which is a bright, acidic juice fortified with fish stock. Superfood ingredients include Peruvian corn, and yam. $19.

We’ve all been told that eating a Mediterranean diet is the key to a long and healthy life, which is awesome, because Mediterranean food is delicious. For a full sampling of favorites, the combo platter at La Mediterranee could be ordered as a nutritious appetizer or entire meal on its own. It’s got hummus, baba ghaoush, and tabouleh, and if you opt for the large, you'll get additional dolmas, feta, and olives. $10.95

This is a salad for anyone who thinks that they don’t like kale (or salads, for that matter). It’s the one that put Darwin Cafe on the map in SoMa, and its ingredients include kale, radicchio, lemon, garlic, parmesan, prosciutto, and balsamic. It’s filling enough to be a perfect midday meal or after-work dinner, and while the restaurant doesn’t love the idea, it can be easily modified for vegetarians. $12.

Like everything else at this vegan haven, the pozole at Gracias Madre isn’t made with any fatty pork products or dairy. Instead, the traditional hominy soup is made with ancho-chile broth and topped with a cashew crema and avocado for good measure. You could skip the tortilla strips if you’re trying to go easy on the fried stuff. $14.

While everything on the menu here is designed to be clean, healthy, and delicious, one particular dish stands out: the quinoa beet pesto salad. Along with beets and red quinoa, this grab-and-go meal is packed with flavor thanks to spicy wild baby arugula, a sweet balsamic reduction, crunchy walnuts, goat cheese, and a house-made red wine vinaigrette. For a couple bucks, you can boost the protein by adding chicken. $8.50

The best thing about a bento box is that it's a complete, single-serve meal that helps you with portion control while (hopefully) tasting amazing. Okane’s shokudo box certainly does, coming with salmon teriyaki, rice, spinach goma ae (a Japanese-style spinach salad), pickles and salad or miso soup. $14.

While Indian food is all about those vegetables cooked in disease-fighting spices, when eaten at restaurants it’s not necessarily the healthiest option. However Kasa’s entire mission is to deliver healthy Indian food that’s still super flavorful. Its thalis, or homestyle platters, are your best option to get a range of things that are good — and good for you. They all come with a choice of meat or vegetables served up with whole-wheat rotis, slow-simmered lentils, vegetable salad, chutneys, and raita. $11.95.

The name here says it all — this protein-packed meal in a box is all you need to feel good about eating well, exercise be damned. Made with all the ingredients you would typically think of in a nourishing meal — grilled chicken, brown rice, extra steamed veggies — it’s the pickled vegetables and tamarind vinaigrette that kick up the flavor. $8.75

Poke obviously made the cut, and while there’s a plethora of new poke options in the city, Liholiho Yacht Club's version stands out. Its tuna poke is served over a crispy nori cracker that beats out anything else you’ll find in a rice bowl any day. $16.50.
