Miami Nutrition: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best healthy restaurants in Miami?
“Best” is subjective, but we have our thoughts! We’ve ranked Avo Miami as our #1 healthy restaurant in Miami, based on a combination of credentials (seed oil free, organic, pasture-raised), taste and availability—three locations in our favorite Miami neighborhoods. We also love their fresh celery juice (not pre-bottled!). Avo Miami has it made-to-order.
For comfort food, it’s hard to beat The Cocinita in Brickell. While not necessarily the healthiest option in terms of macros, it provides nutrient dense, high quality, vegan comfort food that tastes amazing and incorporates a variety of Latin flavors. A must-visit for Miami foodies.
