Cosmic Cafe
2912 Oak Lawn Ave.
Dallas, TX 75219
(214) 521-6157
www.cosmiccafedallas.comWhile most of the items on the menu at Cosmic Café are vegetarian, eating carb-free does require paying attention to whether or not bread or rice is part of your karmic feast. Yogi Power, Spinach enchiladas do have red tortillas on the menu, but this is easily substituted for a low carb option and highly recommended when you are on the lookout for something different. If you are not a fan of substitutions, try Yogi Power, a plate full of sautéed vegetables, served on leaf lettuce and good for both the body and soul. You're your stomach is full, head upstairs for a bit of yoga or other soothing activities to revive your inner peace and overall health and well-being.

V Eats
3011 Gulden Lane
Dallas, TX 75212
(214) 377-6009
www.v-eats.comSo, if you're going to go low carb by having a salad, it should be one of the most amazing salads ever tossed, or in this case, carefully concocted and almost decorated in presentation. I am talking about "THE" Salad, as it is known on the menu at V Eats. Smoked, juicy artichoke hearts, roasted red bell peppers and Tofu croutons are the top three ingredients in THE Salad, and are enhanced by the Quinoa and lentil mixture and mixed greens that complete the mountain of goodness without those pesky carbs. The Strawberry Fields salad is also a worthy low carb competitor.
