Coolgreens launched a new 50/50 Bowl that offers a healthy balance of warm farro and cool kale with other ingredients like roasted chicken, sweet potatoes, dried cranberries, shredded carrots and sliced almonds, all united by a house-made honey lime dressing. The new menu offering appeals to guests who are looking for a meal that's hearty and healthy, especially as the high-protein, high-fiber ancient whole grain is becoming a popular substitute for pasta and rice, and makes a great base for a meal bowl. Thanks to the inclusion of farro and other nourishing ingredients, the Coolgreens bowl is full of protein, healthy sources of fat and fiber.
According to Coolgreens CEO Robert Lee, "The 50/50 Bowl offers both grains and greens, which is something that is rare to find among our competitors."
