<\/a><\/p>\n

January is for eating healthy, and Tampa makes that task much more enjoyable thanks to its many great spots for filling salads and fresh bowls. Whether it\u2019s a New Year\u2019s resolution or just concerns about how that Gaspy outfit is going to fit, there\u2019s no bad reason for eating well.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re fortunate to have a plethora of health-conscious cafes, organic eateries, and indulgent restaurants that still provide options on the lighter side. It would take days to list them all, so instead, our That\u2019s So Tampa team pooled together some of our personal favorites.<\/p>\n

This list isn\u2019t comprehensive, but hopefully it will help make your healthy January a little tastier. Then, come Gasparilla weekend, all bets are off until the other side of Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Must-try bowls and salads in Tampa<\/p>\n

Abu Naji Yemeni Restaurant
<\/a>4819 E Busch Blvd
We just made our first visit to Abu Naji a few weeks ago, and we came away highly impressed. The Fattush Salad, a Middle Eastern staple, is the perfect complement to a full entree, but the bread salad with fresh veggies can stand alone as its own meal.<\/p>\n

Bamboozle Heights
<\/a>7107 N Florida Ave, 109 N 12th St.
The have-it-your-way Boozle Bowl lets you build your dream Asian salad out of fresh and healthy ingredients. Make it a salad with a lettuce base or go heartier with rice or noodles. From there, pick out five veggies, select a dressing, and then choose one of the seven protein options (we recommend the crispy eggplant). <\/p>\n

Cali<\/a>
217 S Dale Mabry Hwy, 17004 Palm Pointe Dr.
True to their promise of \u201cfresh food only,\u201d Cali\u2019s Lean n\u2019 Clean Bowl keeps it fresh as can be. It comes with roasted broccoli and cauliflower, pico, herbs, and a citrus vinaigrette, but you can also add grilled chicken and brown rice if you need a protein boost, too.<\/p>\n

Fruitwood Standup Market<\/a>
2203 W Swann Ave, 4720 W Cypress St
The Southeastern Chopped Salad at Fruitwood is bursting with flavor, but won\u2019t have you bursting at the seams. Organic baby spinach and romaine are topped off with a southwestern-style mix of beans, corn, jalapenos, aged cheddar, turkey, and tortilla strips.<\/p>\n

Greenlane<\/a>
4495 W Gandy Blvd
They\u2019re co-founded by Gronk and they have a drive-thru; we almost don\u2019t need to say anymore. However, the Harvest Bowl deserves to be discussed. It\u2019s a veggie delight, with roasted sweet potatoes, craisins, honey roasted pecans, goat cheese, baby kale, and balsamic vinaigrette atop romaine.<\/p>\n

\"A\"AFruitwood Market<\/p>\n

\"A\"ABamboozle Heights<\/p>\n

\"A\"AAbu Naji<\/p>\n

Green Market Cafe
<\/a>27225 State Rd 56
The SuperFood Bowl literally puts the green in Green Market. It goes down light but still packs a nutrient punch, filled out with organic tri-color quinoa, kale, broccoli, roasted artichokes, avocado slices, pecans and creamy avocado balsamic.<\/p>\n

Harvest Bowl Eatery and Market
<\/a>6109 N Florida Ave
The Caribbean Breeze Bowl is just as refreshing as it is warming, thanks to the sriracha ranch. This bad boy comes packed with jasmine rice, black beans, grilled shrimp, Mexican corn, pineapple, and coconut flakes.<\/p>\n

SuperNatural Food & Wine
<\/a>305 E Polk St
If you can resist the donuts and sandwiches, the Thai Crunch salad at Supernatural is a showstopper. The light salad is topped with a perfect combination of candied peanuts and sesame seeds, avocado, orange slices, and more.<\/p>\n

Vegan International Co & Kitchen
<\/a>13751 N Nebraska Ave
This is the chicken salad for people who don\u2019t eat chicken. The Chick\u2019n Gyro Salad pairs vegan chicken with lettuce, tomato, pickled cabbage, and a delicious white sauce. Light, filling, and tasty in every bite.<\/p>\n

ZING Juice Bar
<\/a>6207 N 40th St
If it\u2019s a juice-and-greens diet this January, ZING is the spot. The ZING salad is nothing but the fresh, healthy and crispy stuff: fresh lettuce loaded up with purely fruits and veggies. It\u2019s a garden party for your mouth, and it will leave you feeling light and happy.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"January is for eating healthy, and Tampa makes that task much more enjoyable thanks to its many great…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-123906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
