Food doesn't have to taste bad to be good for you. Eating healthy is largely about choosing the right foods off of a menu. But some places lend themselves better to healthy choices than others. So, here are a few places around Denver where you can indulge your taste buds without feeling bad about it.
Watercourse Foods
837 E 17TH AVE DENVER, CO 80218
Watercourse is one of Denver’s icons for healthy vegetarian and vegan choices. But don’t be put off by that description if you’re a protein lover. There’s plenty to enjoy for everyone here. My favorite menu item is the NYC Scramble (eggs or tofu).
Don’t let the tattoo-toting servers scare you off. Tokyo Joe’s is a fast, healthy restaurant that uses fresh ingredients in tasty combinations. Probably the least healthy thing about their dishes are the sauces but you can ask for them on the side.

Cava Greens is one of many gourmet salad places in Denver with some of the best ingredients. But quality comes at a price (you get what you pay for). Treat your body right and try it!

Yet another gourmet fast salad joint, Green Fine Salad Company makes your salad while you watch with whatever ingredients you want. It’s not particularly cheap but it’s good.

If you’re concerned about more than just the food quality, you might want to give Mercury Cafe a try. The Mercury serves organic foods and tries to get its ingredients as close to home as possible. They have also applied for a permit to generate electricity from a small wind turbine and solar panels. So the Mercury is green in more ways than one.
