The Demand Behind The Success
Healthy eating is one trend that is here to stay. Busy consumers are now looking to healthy food franchises such as our acai bowl business to provide options that are nutritious and tasty! In fact, according to research done by the National Restaurant Association, more than seven in ten adults are trying to eat healthier at restaurants than they were just two years ago. The importance of offering healthy options on the menu will only continue to grow.
Just having healthy options on the menu makes diners more likely to frequent a restaurant, even if they don’t order them. According to the National Restaurant Association, 70% of consumers said that the selection of healthy menu options influenced where they would choose to dine out. Consumers want healthy options when eating out, they will even go as far as changing their dining habits to find restaurants that offer them.
Consumers are busier than ever, which means that speed and convenience will continue to dictate eating trends for 2018 and beyond. The health food industry is exploding, and the popularity of restaurants that offer quick nutritious and delicious options will only continue to rise. Trending with it will be easy on the go options like the bowl, packed with tasty fresh ingredients that tick off all the boxes on a health conscious consumers list.
The Bowl
Fast casual and fast food dining collide as consumers look for options that fit their needs for quick healthy food on the go. One of the fastest growing trends in fast casual dining is the bowl. And it’s popularity only continues to grow. The rise of the bowl may have started with the instafamous smoothie bowl for breakfast, but with it’s fast growing popularity the bowl now claims a spot at the lunch and dinner table too.
With a high demand for fast nutritious meals the bowl fits the bill perfectly! Rush Bowls are filled with antioxidant rich ingredients like acai and blueberries. They add nutritional powerhouses like chia seeds and green tea, and many options even include energy sustaining protein from whey, soy, or nuts.

WE CROSS TWO SEGMENTS
It is more important than ever to provide healthy options on the menu, but it is just as important to provide healthy food that tastes amazing! In a recent study performed by Technomic, a chicago based research company, three-fifths of consumers believe that their favorite restaurants can offer food that is both healthy and delicious. Consumers know what they want and they aren’t willing to great sacrifice flavors to get it!
Consumers want healthy options, but the nutritional focus at the forefront of each diners mind can vary widely, from high protein, to plant strong, to gluten free, sugar free, additive free, the list goes on and on. But there is one nutritional focus that consumers seem to agree on and that is the importance of plants. When surveyed by Technomic consumers overwhelmingly believed that a meal that with a full serving of fruits or vegetables was good for them. This is one area where the fruit bowl really shines. Rush Bowls pack in the produce and easily meet consumer desire to consume more produce. No matter the dietary doctrine consumers are happy to add more plants to their plate!
