Heart-Healthy Eating Out Options for Beaumont Families

Summer is a time for family vacations and fun activities, but it can also pose challenges when it comes to maintaining a heart-healthy diet, especially when dining out. Fortunately, Beaumont offers a variety of restaurants that provide nutritious and delicious meals suitable for families on the go. Here are some tips and local spots where you can find heart-healthy dining options this summer.

Asian Cuisine: Flavorful and Nutritious

Asian cuisine is known for its vibrant flavors and potential for healthy dining. Look for dishes rich in vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.

Suggested Restaurant: Tokyo Japanese Steak House – 1970 I-10 Access Rd

Try their hibachi grilled chicken or salmon with steamed vegetables. Their miso soup and seaweed salad are also light, nutritious starters.

Mexican Cuisine: Fresh and Heart-Healthy

Mexican food can be both tasty and healthy. Focus on fresh ingredients and avoid heavy fats and fried foods.

Suggested Restaurant: La Cantina – 4555 Dowlen Rd

Opt for grilled chicken or shrimp fajitas with sautéed vegetables. Skip the cheese and sour cream and load up on salsa and guacamole. Their fish tacos on corn tortillas with fresh toppings are also a heart-friendly choice.

Italian food doesn’t have to be heavy to be delicious. Look for whole-grain pasta, tomato-based sauces, and plenty of vegetables.

Suggested Restaurant: Bruno’s Italian Kitchen – 3199 Dowlen Rd, Beaumont, TX 77706

Their Salmon Florentine is an excellent choice. The Pasta Primavera with chicken or shrimp is another heart-healthy option.

Barbecue: Lean and Flavorful

Barbecue can be enjoyed healthily by choosing lean meats and healthy sides.

Suggested Restaurant: Charlie’s BBQ – 3125 College St

Choose a half smoked chicken and pair it with sides like coleslaw (with light dressing) or green beans. Avoid heavy sauces and opt for dry rubs or vinegar-based options.

Burgers: Go Lean and Green

Burgers can fit into a heart-healthy diet with the right choices. Look for lean meats and plenty of fresh toppings.

Suggested Restaurant: Hamburger Depot – 1652 W Cardinal Dr

Their Grilled Chicken Wrap, Clucker Sandwich or Chipotle Black Bean Burger with a side salad or steamed vegetables are satisfying, healthy options.
