7 Superfood Dishes To Boost Your Immunity Around Atlanta

As hard as it may be to accept, what we eat actually does make a difference to our health. Your immune system is powered by the nutrients you put in your body, so if you find yourself feeling under the weather more often than you’d like, your diet can be a key factor (unless you’re fighting off a global-pandemic-causing virus, in which case – wear a mask!). With that in mind, here are a few incredible tasting, superfood focused dishes around Atlanta that will add some nutritional nitrous oxide to your immunity.

Food Terminal – Yum Yum Shrimp Garlic Noodle
If you’re a fan of garlic, you’ll be a fan of this dish. At Food Terminal, they make their thin noodles in-house and it’s served with incredible egg-yolk shrimp and the most delicious garlic butter you will ever taste. And the combination of shrimp and garlic is where the health benefits come in. Shellfish, like shrimp, are high in nutrients like vitamin B12 and zinc. Garlic, meanwhile, is incredibly nutrient dense. It’s high in vitamins C, B1 and B6, and variety of minerals. Plus, compounds in garlic like allicin (trust me, I had to look this up) lower blood pressure and “bad” cholesterol.

Chef Todd Ginsburg and team keep their flavors simple – a rich broth with vitamins A, C and D, anti-inflammatory carrots, onions, and celery throughout, and a hearty, delicious matzoh ball to fill your heart.

Chai Pani – Kale Pakora
A great introduction to Indian food is the pakora – basically, an Indian version of a fritter. While that doesn’t sound for healthy or nutrient packed, at Chai Pani they make one with Kale. Savory, crunchy and made with curried chickpea batter, kale contains huge amounts of Vitamin C, A and K1, has cancer fighting properties and tons of great minerals. They’re served with a green chutney and sweet yogurt, both high in B vitamins.

Kale Me Crazy – Shots
Sometimes it’s better to get your immunity boost in one quick swallow. The folks at Kale Me Crazy have done just that with their shot selection. They have a wheatgrass featured shot (wheatgrass detoxes the body and helps your liver), one with algae (rich in essential minerals), one with ginger (powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant) and other spices, and my favorite, the Painkiller – a dose of ginger, lime, turmeric (another powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant) and raw honey.
