Dining out often means loading up on a few appetizers, a main dish, and possibly a dessert – which can lead to feeling too full; and sometimes, regret. But at some restaurants, dining out can mean choosing to eat well and enjoying a healthy meal.

Inside of a shopping center in Tempe, 24 Carrots! serves what most would consider “gold” food. Raw, vegan dishes, pastries, and a juice bar are a few of the items that may be ordered.

“We try to make what people are used to and make it a healthy alternative,” said manager Evan Ledinghan.

In addition to the items being more nutritious than your typical café, customers also will receive the same flavor that you’d want in your food.

Everything on the menu is dairy and egg free. Some may think it’s tough to make such great breakfast items without the help of two very important ingredients, but at 24 Carrots!, it’s done every day – from the popular French toast made with blueberries and fruit on the side, to the eggs replaced with soy.

“We want to make sure that anyone even if they don’t eat dairy and eggs, still want to come her for the food,” he said.

It’s quite easy to assume the flavors of any meal wouldn’t be the same without eggs or milk, but it’s actually quite tasty and leaves you feeling full without being over the top.

And if you’d really like to start your day on the right foot, the Arizona bowl is the perfect selection. You can choose tofu or cauliflower as the base, along with chorizo, cheese, avocado and other healthy ingredients all in one bowl.

Or, if you love breakfast burritos, there’s the vegan style option which has everything from bacon to apple soyrizo hash and seasoned tofu or cauliflower.

Each uniquely made entrée is like a match made in heaven. No need to feel guilty for the meal you indulge or the sweet carrot cake pancake. After all, it’s made to satisfy the appetite of a healthy lifestyle.
