New year, new you, right?! A new year can symbolize new beginnings for many people. Year after year, the most popular resolution by far is getting in shape, and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle for your wellness and being. Lucky for you, there are a wide range of dining options in Bucks County to eat healthy, but still feel like you’re on vacation!

Below is a list of restaurants that you can still indulge in without feeling the guilt:

AK Preps and Bakery
Penndel

This establishment is a trifecta: they have meal preps that can be ordered in advance, a grab and go market, and a bakery with desserts made in-house. AK Preps and Bakery is all about balance, so they ensure both the entrees and sweet treats are healthy and nutritious. To keep things fresh and new, their menu is always changing. Try the bacon chicken ranch cauliflower crust pizza or the chocolate walnut brownie cupcakes!

Even meat-lovers will leave feeling satisfied! Blue Sage’s menu features local and seasonal items, like citrus arugula salad and wild mushroom ramen. The restaurant prides in using fresh produce creatively in their dishes, rather than relying on meat substitute products, which is usually the case in other vegan/vegetarian establishments. Blue Sage is open Wednesdays through Sundays for lunch and dinner.

Cafe Con Leche
Newtown

This family-owned restaurant has been serving South American and Mediterranean Cuisine for 25 years! The cuisines include cafe-style fare, such as soups, salads, fajitas, burritos and small entrées. My favorite things to order from there are the Caesar salad with blackened chicken accompanied by a couple of their sweet potato jalapeno soup.

Clean Roots offers convenient, affordable, fresh and healthy food. They offer vegan and vegetarian versions of everyone's comfort food favorites, served in the form of protein bowls, salads and sandwiches. They are known for their mac and cheeses, which you won't feel bad eating!

Comfortfood and Kitchenette’s “from scratch” kitchen partners with local farms to focus on delivering quality food. The restaurant has a variety of freshly prepared entrées, like cider braised pork and seared lentil meatloaf, that are made in advance, stored cold and come with easy heating instructions for home. Or there are made to order plates, bowls, and desserts. There are many gluten-free and vegan options!

Located in The Shops at The Square, this wellness cafe is known for their gourmet toasts! Order a toast flight, so you can try a trio of three 1/2 sandwiches for a taste. What makes the toasts so good is that they use Nord Bread, a sourdough bread company owned by a husband-and-wife team based in Doylestown. They also have superfood salads and smoothies, and coffee and tea offerings.
