Clean Juice
Delicious and healthy now that's a great combination? Their juices literally revived me. After a day of feeling very sick with a low grade fever, I ordered a juice and within the hour I felt like a new me. We particularly like this place because most juice bars feature acidic items such as lemon, lime and pineapple juice, which can aggravate the digestive system, this cozy spot gave me the option without all of the acid.
Donut Run
Eating healthier doesn't have to be boring! This vegan donut shop is filled with a delicious variety of donuts, from apple fritters to blueberry cake donuts. Even non vegans will think they're regular donuts. Be prepared to get there early because once they sell out they close for the day!
Fresh Green
Our go to place for fresh salads with or without salmon. We don’t always get the dressings because health wise the dressings don’t always agree with our system but the plethora of toppings is worth the trip.
Hip City Veg
This is vegan fast food at its best! Our favorite is the mushroom or impossible burger on a yummy roll with delicious sweet potato fries and a homemade non dairy shake. Who needs McDonald’s?
Cinnaholic
Move over Cinnabon there's a healthier option for cinnamon rolls in town!! Check out these yummy, vegan Cinnamon buns with out of this world toppings galore, Oreo cookies, apples, caramel, vegan cream cheese and more! You can’t even tell it’s vegan.
Turning Natural
What started out as a daughter’s love for her mother, as she made juices to keep her mom healthy and alive has turned into a local sensation as the owner continues to keep her community healthy through homemade juices and smoothies. Our go to favs are the homemade black bean burgers, spinach patties, vegan waffles, juices and smoothies. And sometimes we might splurge on a vegan carrot cake every now and then.
Rise Bakery
We thought we would never have cookies outside of the house again. Most of the regular cookies would make our stomachs hurt until we came across this spot with various gluten free, non dairy and vegan pastry and bakery options.
Planta
This is our absolute favorite go to vegan restaurant. Located in various major cities across the U.S., the decor matches the presentation of the food. If you're looking for a date night, birthday lunch or if you're craving a good vegan meal this is your spot!
Everlasting Life
A local staple in the DMV area for vegan food. This local soul food vegetarian spot has been around for years. You will find the original cashew mac and cheese, chikn drummettes and their popular vegan lasagna.
