Canggu is a mecca for surfers and digital nomads alike. And healthy eating has long ago become a part of the work-life balance for many.
The biggest advantage of eating in Bali is that here we can easily access fresh and organic ingredients, fresh fruits and veggies, and enjoy healthy meals at any time of the day.
Here are a few cafes that cook healthy dishes for both meat eaters and vegetarians that are not just a simple avocado toast.
