Haakon
If you haven't heard of Haakon, where have you been? This place has been sprouting up new outlets across Singapore, at places like 313 Somerset and OneKM Shoping Center. Although they're a health food establishment, you can expect more than just dull green salads here at Haakon. Their offerings span across loaded quinoa bowls and juicy burgers. Just a look at their menu will have you salivating. Treat yourself to a healthy indulgence with their Hummus Vege Burger or Steak 'N Shrooms. End your wholesome meal on a sweet note with their Classic Acai Bowl.

Project Acai
Will we ever get enough of acai? With Project Acai around, the answer is a resounding "no". This place is one of our go-to spots for decadent acai bowls and refreshing smoothies. Not only do they indulge us with the world's first and only Fair Trade verified and certified organic acai, all their bowls and smoothies are made fresh throughout the day. Feast your eyes on their Nuts for Acai Bowl that's slathered in creamy nut butters of your choice.

Tasty Street
Let's be real, we all love our 'cai fan'. Although we don't gravitate to it all the time, they're undeniably a delicious meal option when we're on a budget. But, with vegetables swimming in salt and meat drenched in oil, it's definitely not the healthiest choice. That's why, we were up and out of our seats when we heard about Tasty Street, an Asian fusion stall that dishes out healthy 'cai fan' bowls, if you will. From Iberico Lor Bah to Wagyu Beef, all their bowls include a base of brown rice and rotational greens. And, to ensure that their bowls are tad more insta-worthy, a runny onsen egg is enthroned in the centre of all the goodness.

The Living Cafe
What do you think of when we say "raw food"? Probably flimsy lettuce and slimy red meats, right? Well, let The Living Cafe completely transform your perceptions of this unconventional cuisine. At The Living Cafe, not only will you be tucking into raw food, you'll be enjoying it. Of course, they also serve up cooked dishes. Take a bite of their Sunny Eggs on Mushrooms Wholemeal Pizza or treat yourself to their Wild Barramundi Brown Rice Bowl. Their dishes aside, this establishment stays away from not-so-healthy ingredients such as white sugar, red meat, and cow dairy.

Original Sin
Contrary to what their name suggests, Originial Sin's food are hardly what you would deem as sinful. Specialising in Mediterranean-Italian vegetarian cuisine, this upscale restaurant will do more than just curb your hummus and baba ganoush cravings. You won't regret ordering their Principessa Salad made with pumpkin and avocado or their stuffed Capsicum Quinoa. Although their dishes come at a hefty price, we promise it's totally worth it. In addition, most of their dishes can be made vegan or gluten-free!

Katto
We don't care if poke bowls are "so-last-season" - sashimi and rice will never get old. Let Katto tantalise your tastebuds with their Asian-fusion take on this Hawaiian delight. Think wild flavours like Chicken Rice Chili Cream, Tangy Thai Tuna and Creamy Goma Tuna. As for their vegetables, you get quite a good range, from edamame to cherry tomatoes. With 6 sashimi flavours, 6 veggie toppings and 3 bases to choose from, you'll never get bored at Katto. Plus, who can ever get sick of sashimi?
