Hello friends.

It’s starting to cool down, so let’s kick off this season with a switch up to your regular diet. Today we are talking about plant-based meals and no we don’t mean a salad, even though those are good too. Columbia can be pretty versatile when it comes to food that you might not have on your everyday menu. You just have to know where to look, and that’s why we’re here.

We wanted to know where we could go to grab the best plant-based dishes in Cola. Here’s what you recommended. 💚
