When most people think of Jackson’s food scene, they probably think fast food.
But there’s more than just chain restaurants — there’s a long list of local restaurants dishing out eats that rival that McDonald’s burger or KFC bucket-o-wings.
Better yet, these Jackson eateries can serve up some seriously healthy options. A lot of dishes from some of our favorite local restaurants go light on fat and pile on the flavor.
Most of these local joints don’t keep track of nutrition information, so estimates are provided.
So buckle up! We’re going on a day-long tour of some of the healthier food in Jackson. Here’s what’s on the menu:
Hippie Omelet at Roxy Cafe, 606 N. West Ave.
When people come to Roxy Cafe, they come to eat. Everything there is big — both in size and flavor.
This roughly three-egg omelet ($7.79) is no exception. Packed with broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and a generous helping of feta cheese, it’s essentially a salad, all rolled up in a gooey golden crust.
Sure, it’s delicious, but this eggy dish is nutritious, too.
This baby’s got a ton of fiber, which helps keep you full and regulates digestion. It’s also a good source of vitamins A, C and K, and massive amounts of protein.
For breakfast, a high-protein dish is a smart choice. Protein provides stamina and energy to help you wake up and get moving. The old adage “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is said for a reason.
