Maintaining a healthy diet is difficult when so much advertising caters toward unhealthy fast-food choices. Practicing a vegan diet means excluding all animal products from your food, including how your food is prepared. Eating out on a vegan diet can feel like a challenge, but many New Hampshire restaurants are going vegan, or offering vegan menu items.
Maia Papaya
Maia Papaya is a small coffee shop and vegan-friendly café, tucked into the mountains of Bethlehem, New Hampshire. Bethlehem offers a diverse and lively cultural atmosphere, with Maia Papaya in the heart of downtown. At Maia Papaya, the sandwiches are simple, and can satisfy any appetite. Soup options change daily, while subs such as the "Green Submarine" are a constant menu item. If you are looking for something on the sweeter side, Maia Papaya also offers dessert and drink options to suit any taste. All menu ingredients are listed beneath each item; however, some items do contain animal products, such as milk or eggs, so be sure to ask for clarification if you are unsure if a menu item is vegan. Maya Papaya is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. with weekend hours from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Café Indigo
Café Indigo started with an exhausting search for a vegan wedding cake. The owners wanted to please vegans and non-vegans alike with flavorful baked goods. Through converting family recipes, Café Indigo quickly developed into a booming business that offers vegan cakes, which are available to order directly from the company website. Vegdining.com, part of the Vegetarian Resource Group, notes that all of Café Indigo's items are completely vegan. Café Indigo also offers tofu, seitan and veggie wraps. Café Indigo is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for brunch. The Café Indigo website has a complete menu.
