Custom Grain Bowl Menus

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Sweetgreen Menu Includes a 'Make-Your-Own' Section

— January 6, 2016 — Lifestyle
The vibrant Sweetgreen menu boasts an indulgent 'make-your-own' green or grains bowl filled with high-quality ingredients to select from. The 'make-your-own' menu complements the seasonal and signatures portion of the Sweetgreen menu.

Various options to consider when building your own green or grains bowl is to consider the base (organic mesclun or organic wild rice?), toppings and of course, premium add-ins like blue cheese or tofu.

The larger-than-life chain from Washington DC fuses two noteworthy progressions in the world of dining by offering a fast casual dining concept that is heavily influenced by the health and wellness movement. As fast casual concepts continue to flood the market in the face of a large consumer interest, chains with customizable menus like Sweetgreen will have the leg-up on competition.
