For mouth-watering comfort food without having to pay the consequences of your favorite guilty pleasure dishes, give The Green Boheme a visit and treat yourself.

Feeling the regret of piling on empty calories is all too real — it seems all the really flavorsome foods come with a side of regret. Or do they? Located on 1825 Del Paso Blvd. in Sacramento, The Green Boheme is a restaurant specializing in raw, whole and gluten-free foods, eliminating the guilt of processed foods. Located in a welcoming setting, The Green Boheme offers modern design and accommodations along with its food specialties.

This restaurant is designed for the health-conscious individual, or anyone looking to seek filling recipes that won’t take you straight to the gym and burning off the calories. Among its many appetizing dishes, there are a few that truly stand out as ‘must-haves’.

The Wellness “Burger” is a healthy take on the ordinary meat burger, combining a veggie patty with sprouts, avocado, freshly made ketchup and served on a lettuce bun with a side of onion rings. In addition, you may add on gluten-free condiments including imitation bacon and cheese.

For a fun and creative appetizer, try the Livin’ Nachos. Made out of corn-based chips, it includes rice and gluten-free alternatives to condiments like cheese and chili. Piled sky-high with vegetables and salsa, this inventive appetizer delivers authentic spicy Mexican flavors without even the slightest hint that it has been given a transformation into a healthy, low-calorie dish; it is so filling, you might decide to make it your entrée instead.

The Green Boheme is a great place for all meals of the day with family and friends, including brunch. For a step in a healthy direction, The Green Boheme is a good place to start, and it might even become your new regular hang out.
