Indulge without the guilt by ordering these healthy dishes

We know that searching for healthy, nutritious meals can be a struggle. Remember, though, that healthy eating does not mean depriving yourself of flavours, textures, and your favourite dishes. A well-balanced diet is the best way towards building a better you, and we are here to help! While we Filipinos absolutely adore a bowl of fluffy white rice, we are well aware that having too much of a good thing can be detrimental to our health (and waistlines). Check out these eateries that feature cauliflower rice bowls and full meals to help you reach your goals.
