Dining out: Northstar

Dining out has become close to non-existent compared to our restaurant visits before going vegan. We probably go out once a week? Instead, we invite friends over to eat with us, or we meet up at non-meal times. BUT, in our lives, dining out is unavoidable. Thankfully its not hard living in clintonville...most restaurants have something vegan-friendly.

EATING VEGAN AT NORTHSTAR:
1) The Buddha Bowl - request less rice and double the veggies, no meat or tofu and with the peanut sauce on the side. Use it sparingly!
2) The Chopped Salad: without the cheese, bacon, and ham. Request oil on the side and toss it with the oil a little salt. Pass on the bread wedge. That's where you'll pack in the calories!
3) The Square Meal: No sour cream or cheese. This is a good meal to split. You'll fill up fast!

Most of the items on the menu can be vegan but remember, eating plant-based vegan is the healthiest way to go! Northstar burger is amazing...even with just the pattie, but the bun... not so healthy.
