Now’s the moment for healthful post-holiday living, along with a balanced vegetarian dish that will make you crave for much more.

Folks who adore Filipino food either sheepishly or proudly know that enjoying the holiday season gives the perfect reason to take pleasure in an all-out relationship with Marca Piña quezo de bola, Majestic ham, to-die-for cakes, Cebu lechon and all else creamy and rich. But as with every kinds of euphoria, sense of gross satiety finally sets in and you awake in a kind of stupor, knowing that your holiday break excesses now weigh greatly on you.

For starters, it would help to stay away from eating pork for a while since your consumption must have zoomed beyond your daily average serving due to all of the meaty Filipino recipes and family dishes during the holiday seasons. Simple to say, however when challenged with a succulent piece of medium rare steak, resolutions have a tendency to feel distant and pointless.

Tucked within the peaceful street of Scout Castor only a couple of blocks away from bustling Filipino food scene in Tomas Morato Quezon City, Greens Vegetarian Restaurant and Cafe greets its customers with a light, homely setting. It considers itself a real lacto vegetarian cafe, a classification inside the world of vegetarianism that does not use meat, poultry or fish, but includes milk and its by-products in the diet. Although it could appeal to the preferences of a purely vegan diet, which means no animal by-products, its classification has made it possible for Greens to offer meals common to the palate with the addition of cheese and yogurt which are milk-derived.

The fact is, choosing to go meatless should not be an unpleasant encounter as though one is about to become hauled to the gallows. There are Filipino recipes you may make and cafes you are able to patronize that keep your health meter at bay without giving the tastes of sawdust in ones mouth.
