Eating healthy is hard. You need to get the right amount of veggies and protein — something that I’m trying to be better at this year. But what’s even harder? Finding good, healthy foods at restaurants, where the goal might be making the most delicious food possible, not necessarily the most healthy.
Fortunately, Plano’s dining scene is filled with high-quality, healthy options for any dietary lifestyle. But even if you’re not on a health kick per se, these restaurants are still delicious.
Whatever your dietary goals (or lack thereof) might be, here’s Local Profile’s handpicked list of healthy dining spots in Plano:

Flower Child
2101 Preston Rd Suite A, Plano
Menu
Flower Child is one of my favorite spots for a quick yet filling lunch. Not only is the menu large, but it's fully customizable for any dietary restriction. Those “build-your-own salad” places are overrated and never actually filling, but the salads at Flower Child will leave you full and happy.
Our recommendation: Ginger miso crunch salad

Menu
Whether you’re gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian or keto, Original ChopShop has something for everyone. Their menu features smoothies, juices, customizable bowls and sandwiches, all designed to accommodate a variety of dietary needs.
Our recommendation: Veggie and hummus wrap (pro tip: add tofu to the wrap for some extra protein)
Bellagreen
Several Plano locations
Menu
Original ChopShop’s sister concept, Bellagreen is known as the “greenest restaurant in Texas.” Bellagreen serves up healthy options like hearty soups and salads, pastas and more. The restaurant is also committed to sustainability, using responsibly sourced ingredients, low-flow drink dispensers and alternative energy sources, making it as eco-friendly as it is a top choice for healthy dining.
