With the new year comes a renewed commitment to our health, and yet- sometimes, the time crunch does't waiver because of this. Lubbock is known for it's wide array of dining choices, however, not all are the best for your waistline. Kick of the new year right and grab lunch at one of these local eateries.
1. Market Street- Convenient locations all over town. My go-to is the 98th and Quaker location in Southwest Lubbock. Grab a salad, turkey burger, or premade wrap to-go.
2. Abuelo's Taqueria- Grab a bowl or fish tacos from this wonderful little Abuelo's spinoff. There are plenty of healthy choices (that don't involve queso).
3. La Madeline- Great for dining in or taking out. My go-to is the Wild Field Salad with chicken. Plenty of light options- fruit, salads, sandwiches, etc.
4. Manna Bread and Wine- Fabulous for a quick lunch with clients or friends. Pick it up to-go if you are in a time crunch, but if you have time to sit down, Manna feels like a little getaway with its tucked away location, interesting menu, and impeccable service.
5. Healthy Meals To Go- I'm a huge fan of these healthy, gluten-free to-go items. All meals are labeled with full nutritional facts, which is great if you are tracking on My Fitness Pal or a similar app. I like to pick up breakfast and a lunch here on my way to the office if I know I can't get away for lunch.
6. Healthy Essentials- Delicious salads, smoothies, and wraps. They have a convenient drive through, or dine-in. They also have a great little supplement/grocery section in case you need to pick anything up while you're there.
7. Lite Bite- Wonderful for those who are fans of meditteranean or middle eastern food. The food is fresh, and who doesn't love supporting local, family-owned businesses?
8. Torchy's Tacos- Again, choose wisely- some of the delicious menu items here will require an exercise in willpower. Great options with lean protein. Convenient to Texas Tech.
9. Chick-Fil-A- Sometimes, you just have to. Grap a salad, wrap, or the grilled chicken sandwich, and skip the delicious classic chicken sandwich. Drive through one of the convenient locations around town- 82nd and Milwaukee is great for my fellow southwest Lubbockians.
10. West Crust Pizza- A Lubbock original- not everything is for the health conscious, however, I love their fresh ingredients and fun, funky atmosphere. They offer gluten-free crust and plenty of healthy veggie toppings to make it a healthy treat.
Let me hear from you- what's your go-to for a quick and healthy lunch?
