What's up, everybody? Philcaela here! We love bringing you amazing places to eat in San
Francisco, but sometimes they're not the healthiest. After all we do live in California and there
are tons of healthy options here. That's why we're gonna bring you our 7 Favorite Healthy
Eats in SF: Let's go!!!
We are at Sweetgreen in Soma, this is definitely my favorite salad place in San Francisco.
Their salads are so good here, you can get warm toppings and then their dressings are
just really good, they're house-made. And there's also pre-set menus on top where you
can have options if you don't know what to get, but I usually do create-your-own. Their
dressings are super good, the pesto vinaigrette's really great, the miso ginger sesame's really
great and I've heard great things about the cashew, but usually my go-to's are sweet potatoes
in here, broccoli, raw corn (raw corn sounds weird, but it's actually really good), and
with spinach and quinoa, sometimes onions, chicken, mushrooms. There's tons of things
on the menu, there's something for everyone. Create-your-own is about $8.25, and if you
add chicken it's around $3-something, so each bowl is around like $12, which is pretty good,
and it's made-to-order, super fresh and they use high quality, organic ingredients here.
I don't ever come here for lunch because I know how packed it gets, but they have an
app, you can order it and then it'll be ready for you to just pick up. I usually come here
for dinner, the line gets a little long, but it's not super long, it's not out the door.
Overall, this is my favorite place for salads. It is a chain, but it's super good, it doesn't
act like a chain, it's amazing. Super fresh and organic and made-to-order. Now we're at
Blue Barn, this is a very popular salad, sandwich place. We're at the location on Polk, but
there's locations in the Marina. Salads here are huge, they're really good. They're more
on the pricey side. Our salad was $23 but I'm not that hungry so we're actually sharing
it. They load it with toppings and protein and everything so it's worth it. We got corn,
we got asparagus, mushrooms, shit ton of steak, some onions, it's great to share or you can
have one for now and save it for later, as well. Such a heavy salad! Given the price
and the size, we definitely recommend sharing them. Overall, if you're looking for a great
salad and you don't mind paying a little extra or if you're just really hungry and want a
huge salad, come to Blue Barn! For our next spot, we are at Rooster and Rice, there are
3 locations in the city, 1 in Soma, 1 in FiDi, and we're here at the original one in the
Cow Hollow/Marina area. This place has a really, really small menu, but the food is really
delicious. They serve Khao Mun Gai (Chicken Rice), they have a couple different variations
for the chicken rice, whether you get it over rice, you can get it over broccoli, so you
can make it very high protein, very low carb. Everything comes with this super delicious
chicken broth, that is just rich and hearty and warm and goes perfectly. And what makes
it a Thai chicken rice is this sauce right here. Today, instead of getting the original
or the paleo, I actually got a combination of both, which includes half-broccoli and
half-rice and the rice here is delicious. It's made with some chicken broth, so it's
really, really damn good. And I also just worked out, so this is a perfect way to refuel
and it's very, very healthy and very, very clean. It's so simple, but it's so delicious.
Just really juicy, tender chicken thighs and breast. Like we said before, you can get this
over rice to get the traditional chicken rice dish or you can get it over a bed of broccoli
if you're looking to have it be lower carb. And only one block away from Rooster and Rice
is Loving Cup, this is a frozen yogurt place and I know what you're thinking: "Frozen yogurt,
there's no way that could be healthy." But it's actually pretty low-calorie for what
you're getting and how delicious it is. You come in and you pick your base, whether it's
chocolate or vanilla and then you pick your toppings if you want any and then they make
it in front of you and it comes out this beautiful swirled frozen yogurt ice cream-looking thing.
We got a vanilla as a base, with cinnamon, which has 0 calories, and graham crackers,
which is pretty low sugar, I think. Tastes like cinnamon toast crunch! This is a large,
which is an equivalent of two smalls and a small has about 120 calories and 0 fat. It's
really healthy, it tastes like ice cream, but it's not ice cream. It's guilt-free! This
is Poke on Pierce, it's a poke place in the Marina and here they have super fresh, super
delicious fish. We got the salmon and the spicy salmon, which are both awesome and in
this area there are some choices for poke, but not all places are as fresh as the others,
however Poke on Pierce is awesome, we highly recommend it. You definitely wanna have fresh
fish in a really clean restaurant when you're getting poke. You don't want a dirty place
when you're eating raw fish. Poke is honestly a really, really healthy option that is delicious.
If you get it without rice or noodles, it can be a super high protein, super low carb
meal and that's what I ordered. I got a base of mixed greens and then just covered it with
salmon. Poke on Pierce has 8 different sauces, I got the ponzu fresh and a house classic.
They're both delicious, that variety of sauces is what makes this place special.
This Asian Box, it's a primarily to-go place that serves Vietnamese-inspired bowls that are
really fresh, healthy. You pick your base, you pick your protein, then you pick your
toppings that are a bunch of garnishings and some crispy stuff, too. Then you pick your
sauces, they have this Asian street dust, it's kind of an odd name, but it's basically
a dry seasoning that is really, really yummy. On top of that, they also have your standard
peanut sauce, coconut curry sauce, just a whole bunch of different sauces that make
the bowls delicious. Also pretty affordable, given that healthy food can be kind of expensive,
but we got a nice big bowl with good protein, good sauces on it for just $12. I'm really,
really just a huge fan of Asian Box and the bowls they have here. Everything can be made
really healthy, as always, if you go with a low carb base, like sauce-tossed vegetables
or mixed greens. And you're getting your protein out of it. It's made-to-order and it's really
fresh and like I said, it's primarily a to-go spot so you will find some people in here
eating, but this place is very popular for grab-and-go. You can order online and pick
it up and not have to wait at all. And our last healthy option is going to be Souvla.
This is Mediterranean-style restaurant. You pick your protein, whether it's chicken, lamb
or pork or vegetarian. Then you choose whether you want it with a pita sandwich, basically
like a Greek wrap or a salad. The salad's obviously going to be healthier and lower
carb compared to the pita, but, I mean, if you're hungry and you really like pita, go
for that wrap! One more thing that they're pretty well known for is their frozen Greek
yogurt, which is going to be a great sweet dessert that is also high in protein. Mmm!
Very tart, I love it! It's really good texture, consistency, and a lot of protein.
I really like that. Pretty standard choices for Greek or Mediterranean-style food, but
it's really healthy and really delicious. And that'll do it for our 7 Favorite Healthy
