Eating healthy can raise questions such as, "Are crayons a fruit or a vegetable?" and "How many steaks does a growing baby need?" Answer culinary questions with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $14 of pre-prepared nutritious fare at Healthy Bites on Christian Street.

Owned by registered dietitian, chef, and The Next Food Network Star Season 5 luminary Katie Cavuto Boyle, Healthy Bites commits to healthy eating by sourcing its goods from local vendors and businesses to bring sustainable, seasonal flavors to its customers. Like a tableau set to frame present Christmas ghosts, the dishes at Healthy Bites are all pre-prepared with locally sourced, organic produce, dairy, eggs, and meats. Grab breakfast to go with a chicken-sausage frittata and roasted potatoes, or don't go and hang back among the scenic greenery on the outdoor patio for lunch or dinner while devouring a roasted turkey-breast sandwich with local cranberry Dijon spread, Gorgonzola, and arugula. The menu also boasts vegan options, and the friendly staff is there to field any and all questions about the café's green cuisine. For those who like to drink and dine, the café is BYOB, so bring a bottle along with an appetite and make a night of it. Healthy Bites also offers entrees and sides such as lasagna and veggies in its deli case (available for dine-in or carry-out), as well as cooking classes, meal delivery, and holiday catering services. See the website for more information and to view a sample menu.
