Eat Right
Café Gratitude
Everything from this vegan eatery on Larchmont comes from its own organic farm, and the menu is deceivingly healthy. How does a veggie burger with spicy cashew mustard and coconut "bacon" sound? Mmm.
Café Gratitude, 639 North Larchmont Boulevard (Near Melrose Avenue); 323-580-6383.
M Café
Health-conscious celebs like Jessica Alba and Jake Gyllenhaal like to nosh at this macrobiotic Melrose outpost. Our fave is the kale with spicy peanut dressing (yes, we actually enjoy this kale!).
M Café, 7119 Melrose Avenue (Near La Brea Avenue); 323-525-0588.
A Votre Sante
Some Brentwood folks eat every meal at this quaint Country Mart resto (Kate Hudson sightings are frequent). The wraps are unbeatable, and you can always wash it down with a Pressed Juicery treat from across the courtyard!
A Votre Sante, 13018 San Vicente Boulevard (At South 26th Street); 310-451-1813.
Co-Opportunity
This grocery store is owned by the local Santa Monica community, and boasts the freshest selection of produce on the west side. Even the flooring and lighting is eco-friendly and energy efficient!
Co-Opportunity, 1525 Broadway Street (Near 16th Street); 310-451-8902.
Erewhon
You can get everything from Rose Hip oil for your visage (highly recommended, btw) to tofu dogs, at this mid-city market! There's ready-to-eat hot dishes for the girl on-the-go, and they almost boast one of our favorite "Energy Elixirs" in town.
Erewhon, 7660 Beverly Boulevard (At North Fairfax Avenue); 323-937-0777.
Flore Vegan Cuisine
How do Blueberry Buckwheat Bliss pancakes sound for brunch? Upon first bite you'll find that this Silver Lake spot makes the most out of every ingredient.
Flore Vegan Cuisine, 3818 West Sunset Boulevard (Near Hyperion Avenue); 323-953-0611.
Earth Bar
This is your one-stop nutrition spot. Packed with supplements, protein powders, probiotics, and super foods, wellness can be won in one fell swoop!
