It’s nearly the time of year where San Antonians make resolutions and see how long they can stick with them.

Many of the most popular new year’s resolutions center around eating healthier, but it sure helps to stick with that plan when you have access to food that’s not just good for you but delicious too. We rustled up 30 local spots that manage to check both boxes.
