Nantucket Island abounds with beautiful beaches, charming cottages, incredible inns and fabulous food. Picking a favorite anything is almost impossible here, but there are a few places that I return to again and again.
The Green Restaurant at 6 West Creek Road is one of those special places.
I’m a firm believer that food should both taste good and make you feel good, and every time I go to the Green I am reminded that they believe that, too. They offer healthy, organic and naturally delicious dishes, such as cranberry walnut chicken salad with scallions, baby arugula and brown rice.
Or crumbled goat cheese with sliced fresh strawberries, candied pecans, sliced avocado, balsamic vinaigrette, arugula and brown rice.
There are vegan cookies, such as oatmeal cranberry, or a vegan flourless chocolate raspberry pie. I’m getting hungry just thinking about them!
Open for breakfast and lunch, some people say they have the best coffee and bagels on the island. You can get everything fresh: fresh smoothies, fresh juice from their juice bar, and other healthy offerings such as shots of wheat grass to boost your immune system. If you’re off to the beach for the day, they’ll pack you a custom lunch bag full of goodies.
It’s a great place to go for healthy food you’ll love—the kind of food that loves you right back.
