The sweetgreen Power Max Protein Bowl is being added to the brand's menu for a limited time to help customers easily hit their macros this fall. The menu item is packed with 106-grams of protein to make it the first of its kind option that breaks records for the brand, but also across the industry. The bowl boasts four servings of roasted chicken alongside double portions of Herbed Quinoa and Spicy Broccoli before being finished with the brand's Green Goddess Ranch to give it a flavorful, satisfying recipe.
Chief Commercial Officer Zipporah Allen commented on the sweetgreen Power Max Protein Bowl saying, "Sweetgreen has always focused on delivering fresh, crave-worthy food made from high-quality ingredients. Consumers are thinking about protein more than ever, and our Power Max Protein Bowl and Caramelized Garlic Steak entrées meet that moment with real ingredients, bold flavor, and the quality guests expect from Sweetgreen.”
