Mighty Love Food seeks to disprove the notion that nutritious food can’t be filling by offering hearty dishes like vegetable frittatas, vegan mac & cheese and a black bean-and-mushroom-based “Unburger.” Salad bowls like the “Blue Groove” with buffalo roast cauliflower make up the core of its menu, and come in sandwich or wrap form, too. 155 Milk St.
This suburban juicery, which had existing locations in West Medford and Winchester, broke Boston ground in 2018 with a Beacon Hill spot. That’s where you’ll find cold-pressed juices, vegan smoothies and healthy dishes like forbidden rice salads and nut butter toasts. 282 Cambridge St.
What began as a food truck has become a full-time vendor of vegetarian wraps in Packard’s Corner. The brick-and-mortar serves punny wraps like the “Wrappers Delight” with smoked tempeh “bacon” and special sauce alongside Indian-style plates and fried tofu tacos. 1096 Commonwealth Ave.
The ever-expanding bakery and café opened new locations in the Seaport and near Northeastern University in 2018, and will soon open their first location downtown. That’s great news for anyone looking to grab a crunchy halloumi salad or a farro bowl on the go. Various locations
