Healthy hits

KAUAI, EDINBURGH

Kauai, based on a vegan and veggie concept created by Hawaiian surfers decades ago, is on Edinburgh’s Forrest Road and is the ideal place to grab a healthy brunch, lunch, or dinner. Bowls of grains, vegetables, and protein, wraps stuffed with fillings, and smoothies – although I’m all about their bowls of chocolate porridge. IG: @kauaiuk

JUICY, GLASGOW

A popular hangout, customers can ‘build their own’ at the porridge bar with fruits and seeded toppings, ‘nacho average’ loaded nachos with avo smash, and nutritionallypacked toasties at Juicy on Byres Road. All items will be infused with superfood ingredients and created using the best fresh locally sourced fruit and vegetables.

SPRIGG, GLASGOW

Sprigg’s lunch in the city centre is highly recommended. Customisable, fresh, and quick, the healthy bowls are filling, affordable, and flavourful.

With the ‘build their own’ bowls, diners can include their favourite ingredients in a super healthy salad, such as sriracha and honey chicken and soy chilli bean sprouts Even if you’re on a diet, life is too short to avoid carbs, so add of slice of their super delicious focaccia on the side – it’s my must have.

HULA, EDINBURGH

Hula was the capital’s first juice bar, so it’s no surprise that locals and tourists alike love it.

With plenty of vitamin C from oranges and carrots and a peppy kick of ginger and sweet apple, their Ginger Jack is ideal for those feeling the effects of a long night. For a serious health boost, try The Popeye, which contains spinach, apple, lemon, and mango.
