All the best salad shops in Singapore that will fill and fuel you throughout the day

New year, new eating habits?

If you plan to kick off the new year by eating healthier, we’re here to help. When it comes to eating healthy, the first thing that comes to mind is a salad (or, as others like to call it, rabbit food). But eating healthier doesn’t have to be boring, nor does it just have to be in different shades of green.

Salads date back thousands of years, when mixed greens were enjoyed with salt, oil and vinegar. Today, it has evolved from the traditional lettuce base to include grains, proteins and more. In Singapore, we find a range of salad bars offering a selection of bases, proteins and toppings that will keep you full and satiated throughout the day.

Salad spots like Six Hands offer hearty bowls generously filled with creamy avocado, nori rice and pulled chicken. The Daily Cut garners massive queues for its protein-centric salads and selection of seasonal greens. For bowls with a twist, Grain Traders offer options like barley with mushroom, roasted broccoli with sriracha and pineapple kimchi. Many of these salad bars allow you to order in advance for pick up, avoiding the long queues during the lunch time rush.

Here are the best salad shops in Singapore for a colourful bowl filled with greens and protein for a healthy lunch that will keep you full throughout the day.
