Poway, California, has so much to offer—especially when it comes to food!
I’ll admit that I’m partial to Mexican cuisine (it’s my favorite part about San Diego), but Poway also has several amazing restaurants that specialize in healthy food. From superfoods to vegan meals and from grilled dishes to fresh sushi, Poway has something healthy for everyone.
So if you’re a health nut who’s on the hunt for fresh, delicious menu items in Poway, this list is for you.
Plant-Based Smoothies & Clean Eats
Curb-Side Pickup and Delivery Only
This health-food restaurant right off Poway Road offers a wide range of healthy foods for breakfast and lunch, but their specialty is delicious green smoothies that promote healing.
When you order a blended smoothie, you can choose from a variety of add-ons, including maca, acai, lemongrass express, and more. Plus, they offer several unique blends of teas, coffees, and kombucha.
Luna Grill: Mediterranean Kitchen

Avoid the carbs when you choose healthy menu options from The Grillery. Poway residents have been enjoying this restaurant’s grilled cuisine since it opened in 2000. While The Grillery does offer typical items such as burgers and sandwiches, it also serves a wide variety of healthy options, including salads, bentos, and bowls.
