Phoenix was so fantastic in the way of killer vegan, gluten free and all around healthy eats that I’m back for round 2! In addition to loving the hot, dry air (and what it does for my hair!) it was a must for me to let you know what else Sun City has in store for special diet residents and tourists! Check it out with me, won’t you!
Serving lunch and dinner in Scottsdale, Nourish is an incredible place for clean eating and all sorts of special diet friendly food. Every dish is clearly labeled so that vegan, gluten free, soy free and others can make selections worry-free. My personal faves are the sweet potato and avocado salad, Kitchen Sink Salad and the Mediterranean Burger. While Nourish serves non-vegan dishes as well, everything is local, healthy and well thought out. A great place for all sorts of health conscious diners as well as a website full of great information, event listings and more!
With locations worldwide, you can never go wrong with a meal at Loving Hut. A chain of vegan restaurants owned by Supreme Master TV, the Asian inspired menus, along with some western faves, it’s tough to choose. Come in for a cooking class but be sure to stick around for the Pate Chaud and the Paradise Salad, yum!
Also in Scottsdale, you’ll find Fresh Mint. Healthy, fresh, Vietnamese dishes for all sorts of special diets. Fully vegetarian with many vegan and gluten free options, Fresh Mint is also kosher. I’m loving their fresh cucumber rolls and their curry apple tofu! The menu is vast and full of unique items so it will keep you coming back again and again!
Finally, for a quick bit, Pita Jungle is a great choice. With locations across Arizona and Southern California, you can get fast food with a clear conscious. A Mediterranean menu that includes great starters, salads, sandwiches and even pizzas, it’s eating on the run at it’s healthiest. I fell in love with the 1000 beans pita which is an open faced pita sandwich with brown rice , beans and delicious veggies smothered in a yummy sauce, mmmmmm!
That’s all for now but I’ll be back soon and will keep you posted on new healthy, veggie and gluten free options that pop up in the bustling city of Phoenix!

If you liked the restaurants you named, then you gotta go back to PHX and check out The Pomegranate Cafe and 21 Carrots. They are in Ahwatukee and Chandler.
All the visiting bloggers tend to stay around Scottsdale and miss the two best vegan restaurants. Put them both on your list!
