Nectarine Grove is a 100% gluten-free cafe on Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas's Leucadia neighbourhood, serving breakfast, bowls, salads, burritos, burgers and pizzas built on grain-free bases, grass-fed meats and organic produce. Bowls are ordered over a base you choose — brown rice, quinoa, spinach, butternut noodles or cauliflower rice — which makes the carb load easy to steer without giving up the protein on top.
For macros, the Chimichurri Steak Bowl is the anchor: grass-fed steak with roasted zucchini, spinach, seasoned sweet potatoes, goat cheese and chimichurri comes in around 990 calories with 53g protein over a quinoa base, and drops considerably on a spinach or cauliflower rice base. "The Grove" Salad with chicken breast added is the lighter play at 590 calories and 45g protein, and the Chicken Tinga Burrito lands 48g protein for 900 calories. The Smoked Salmon Bowl is the leanest protein option at 595 calories and 28g.
Best macro pick: "The Grove" Salad with chicken breast — 45g protein for 590 calories and just 29g of carbs. Watch out for the burgers: The CEO Burger is the menu's highest-protein item at 64g, but it carries 1,400 calories and 82g of fat once the fries are counted, and The Boss Burger is close behind at 1,300 calories.
