Whether you’ve been waist deep in salad for eons, a burgeoning health conscious folk, or a part time health food dabbler, trust us – there’s plenty of amazing healthy dining spots around town that you need to try
Making Nutritious Delicious
But what if I told you some places are equal parts downright delicious as well as nutritious? What if I told you these places are so good it’ll make you throw out that Whopper and get a black bean wrap instead and dump that milkshake for some freshly squeezed juice? Right now you’re thinking, “Yeah right, sounds too good to be true”. Well, my justifiably skeptical reader, let me assure you that such places do indeed exist. There are options for healthy dining across the Buffalo Niagara area. So, if you’ve ever been just a teensy-weensy bit curious about such places, now’s your chance to see what all the fuss is about!
Want Healthy? Ask Ashker’s
When I want to eat healthily and have a pleasant dining experience as well, I like to make sure that this place is legitimate without a reasonable doubt. That’s why I go to the Ashker’s on Amherst St., one of the great options for healthy dining in Buffalo Niagara.
Admittedly I was a massive fan of the Elmwood location (which I have since mourned its closing). But times are tough and time keeps moving on, so I had to pick myself up, wipe my eyes with a piece of crisp lettuce and keep it pushing. Gladly I realized the Amherst location has its charms, and although it will never replace the Elmwood location in my heart, it nonetheless is a great spot.

Familiar Food with a Twist
The rest of the menu follows suit. Seemingly ordinary food items with a twist that makes you go, “uh, ok, I’ll try that!” Even the beverages on hand ranging from boosters like wheatgrass to all green juice blends (for those who are very serious about their cleanse). To smoothies that combine everyday fruits like bananas and mangos with ginger and beets. (Don’t worry, they also have traditional smoothies if you’re not looking for that extra health kick). Everything not only tastes good, but can help your body in unexpected ways.
Take wheatgrass for instance. It’s said that a 1 oz shot of wheatgrass juice is high in essential amino acids, vitamins A, E, and C, and other essential minerals and vitamins. It’s coming into contact with beneficial things like this that is yet another of Ashker’s strengths. There are so many beneficial things available today for everyday people that are obscured by all the nonsense that seems to be front and center constantly. With places like Ashker’s, you are able to cut through a lot of that nonsense and get right to the good stuff!
We’ve said it before – you are what you eat. Making healthy choices like having a salad vs a cheeseburger has side effects ranging from increased lifespan to reduction in preventable diseases
Energy Without the Negative Side Effects
Never forget that you can have the best of both worlds where flavor and health collide to make something energizing and exciting that gives you the energy to go through the day and be happy with your meal choices as well.
Health as a whole is nothing short of an ongoing battle for everyone. Sometimes, during our wars, we need a little help to keep on fighting, so I salute the health and juice establishment around Buffalo Niagara for their service. They really help make the fight a bit easier.
