If you’re like me, salads are never your go-to when you’re hungry for a meal. But it’s time to tell you that the days of boring, dissatisfying salads are over and to introduce you to Sweetgreen, a fast-food chain of restaurants. Fast food that’s healthy, you ask? Located in Boston, New York, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia, Sweetgreen is redefining the fast food world because simply put—its food is good for you! You can choose from the selection of signature salads or build your own! Sweetgreen is different because it’s fresh, it’s natural, its ingredients come from local and organic ingredients from local farmers and partners, and it’s a great way to get in your veggies in a delicious way!
Her Campus BC was lucky enough to get the VIP treatment at Sweetgreen in Chestnut Hill this past Thursday night where we tried Sweetgreen’s new Winter Menu and absolutely enjoyed every bite! We were able to try a little bit of everything on the menu, including the Warm Lentil Bowl, Hummus Tahina (my personal favorite!), Apple and Butternut Squash Salad, and the Harvest Bowl. Every salad was made by scratch in front of us and the results definitely reflected the quality of the natural ingredients. Even better, everything in the restaurant – including the utensils, bowls, and of course the food– is all-compostable, and therefore by choosing Sweetgreen, you are making a good choice for both your body and the environment!
Sweetgreen’s new Winter Menu is a must try, complete with soups such as the Organic Butternut Squash and Lentil Chickpea Soup, beverages such as the Matcha Fresca, and of course salads such as the Warm Lentil Bowl and the Bento Bowl. We highly recommended all of these delicious choices, and the servings sizes are definitely enough for a lunch or a dinner size portion. Additionally, Sweetgreen has just launched its app for iOS, where customers can order, pay, and earn ‘sweetgreen rewards’! Definitely something we will be downloading ASAP!
A big thank you to our awesome new friends at Sweetgreen in Chestnut Hill who were so great and helpful as we tried all that Sweetgreen has to offer. We highly recommend visiting your nearest Sweetgreen in the near future to try the future of healthy, fast food!
