It goes without saying that living in New Orleans is every food-lover’s dream. Having permanent access to some of the best food in the world definitely has its perks. It is clear, however, that nutrition is not commonly associated with the Big Easy diet. Of course we all love our beignets, po-boys, and District Donuts, but it can often seem difficult to find some yummy grub that won’t come with excess calories and guilt. If, like me, delicious food and healthy ingredients are equally important to you, these under-the-radar spots will be right up your alley!
With options ranging from fresh juices and smoothies, to wraps, salads, and tacos, you could say Superfood Bar has it all.
Their eccentric menu combines the best of both worlds: southern comfort food and nutritious fuel.
