February is over and I am happy to report that I have managed to stick to my 80/20 eating plan. Before you think this is some crazy diet, it’s not. The 80/20 eating plan means 80% plant based and 20% everything else. That means there are no restrictions, it’s all about moderation. I believe that it’s fine to have a slice of pizza or a piece of bacon sometimes. Thanks to restaurants like By Chloe it is easy to stick to my eating plan.


Following my 80/20 eating plan means careful consideration when choosing restaurants. Although most restaurants dedicate part of their menu to plant based dishes, it is usually a small section with really boring dishes. Unlike California where I feel like there are more vegetarian and vegan restaurants, Boston is slowly upping it’s game with vegan and vegetarian restaurants. By Chloe being one of them.

You may be familiar with by Chloe from a previous post I wrote about them. They are a vegan fast casual restaurant with delicious and creative menu items. Recently I tried their Beet Mine Burger, made with a beet-lentil-walnut patty topped with sauteed mushrooms, sauteed kale, pickled red onion, truffled basil aioli and served on whole grain bun. This is by far one of the best vegan burgers I have had.
I added a side of air baked sweet potato fries and a seasonal lemonade to drink. Next time I would like to try the Guac burger which my new photographer friend Becky had. The Guac burger is made with a black bean-quinoa-sweet potato patty, guacamole, corn salsa, lettuce, tomato, onion, tortilla strips, chipotle aioli on a whole grain bun. They do offer gluten free option for those who need.


There is something to be said for the simple, bright and clean ambiance that each By Chloe location has. I absolutely love succulent flower wall and the swinging chairs at the By Chloe Seaport location. With locations in Boston, New York, Providence, Los Angeles and London already, I feel this is not the last time we will hear about By Chloe. Check them out at ByChloe.com

This looks like a nice spot, and I LOVE the outfit.
That burger looks amazing! I love that they have coconut water in coconuts.
Before reading this post, I hadn’t heard of By Chloe. They do sound like a great place to be able to still eat healthy without having to suffer ‘boring’. I will have to look them up and visit.
I love the 80/20 idea of eating for a healthy change. By Chloe sounds like an amazing place.
Sounds truly appealing your 80/20 eating plan. I will give it a try
It all looks so lovely there. I love the decor too and that burger looks delicious!
Congrats on both. But man, that meal is making me hungry. ugh!
Looks like a scrummy place to visit! Love your outfit too, so on point!
That’s so great you are making an effort to eat more plant based! It’s not about being perfect and every meal Makes a huge impact. As a long time vegan I fully support people making changes one step at a time! I’m glad you have a balance that’s working for you!!
That lunch set looks like a yummy set! I like how the tables are structured.
Only three compliments for this post. Good spot, good shot and lovely dress.
This looks like a nice relaxing place to eat and chill. The hamburger looks super yummy too.
Wow. That burger is thick!!! This post made me hungry all of a sudden, haha!
The burger looks delicious and your pictures are cute and beautiful
The burger looked so good. But I don’t think I can survive eating plant based dishes for most of my meals. Haha. Goes to show that I’m such a meat lover.
I’ve heard about by chloe for years. If I ever make it out that way, I need to try it. A Healthy little indulgence.
Your outfit looks so cool! And I love the idea of eating by 80/20 rule.
Oh wow, This burger looks delightful. Glad it was a plant-based. Perfect for those with diet restriction. you had me at healthy and delicious.
The burgers look good. I have been wanting to visit the New York one as I love the coconut water packaging so cute. Can you take it home?
I like the 80/20 idea because I’m terrible at dieting! I have an ice cream blog so I have research to do! That’s what I keep telling myself! 😉 Thanks for the tip and this place is so cute!
