Our regular eating well expert, Lindsey Joe (pictured) offers some suggestions on where to order healthy food in-and maybe save some money as well.
What would you do with an extra $3,000 a year? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports, it’s likely that you’re spending that hard earned cash on dining out. And while eating out is a mainstream part of life in America today, it’s important to view these meals outside the home as opportunities to nourish and fuel our bodies for the sake of our overall health and wellness. After all, your decisions determine your destiny. And because quitting your favorite local restaurants is unrealistic and unnecessary, here are six of the best places to order healthier delivery when you don’t want to cook at home.
- E + Rose Wellness Cafe. This registered dietitian-owned eatery is located in Downtown Nashville and Brentwood, but you can also get it delivered straight to your door thanks to Postmates. We recommend their Nashville Hot Kale Salad or Fresh Spring Rolls.
