Healthy Food Franchise Rush Bowls
The Demand Behind The Success
Healthy eating is a top priority for today’s consumers, and more people are seeking nutritious, satisfying options from healthy food franchises like our smoothie & acai bowl business. A recent Toast POS survey found that 53% of respondents actively look for restaurants that offer healthier options.
Simply having healthy options makes diners more likely to visit a restaurant, even if they don’t order them. The same Toast POS survey also reported that 74% of respondents find it at least somewhat important that healthy choices are available where they choose to dine. Health food franchises meeting this demand with nutritious, balanced meals are seeing increased loyalty and repeat business.
At the same time, consumers are busier than ever, which means speed and convenience will continue to dictate eating trends for 2025 and beyond. The health food industry is growing rapidly, fueled by demand for quick, wholesome meals that don’t compromise on taste.
Bowls are a practical response to this demand. Designed for life on the go and packed with fresh ingredients, they offer the balance of nutrition, accessibility, and flavor that health-conscious consumers are looking for.
The Smoothie & Acai Bowl
One result of the shift in consumer preferences toward convenient and healthy meals is the growing popularity of bowl-based meals. What started with the Instafamous smoothie bowl for breakfast has become a go-to choice for lunch and dinner, too. Bowls are easy to customize, visually appealing, and packed with the nutrients busy consumers are looking for.
As a health food fast-casual franchise, Rush Bowls is built to meet this demand. Our bowls are made with antioxidant-rich ingredients like acai and blueberries, chia seeds, green tea, and protein sources such as whey, soy, or nuts. It’s a simple, filling way to eat well without slowing down.

Healthy Variety
Fruit & Veggie Loaded
Our bowls are all one of a kind, packed with fruits, veggies and unique combinations of delicious ingredients in order to highlight the essential superfoods.
Nutritious & Low Calorie
Far healthier than the traditional fast casual meal that usually comes with french fries, Rush Bowls can include optional protein AND are low in calories and fat content.
Product Variety
Our customers love acai bowls, but they also love variety. Out of our 13+ different bowl options available on our menu, 3 are acai. We also offer 11+ smoothie options.
We Cross Two Segments
While healthy menu options are important, consumers still look for food that tastes amazing. OpenTable’s latest research shows that nearly half of Americans (49%) are prioritizing healthier dining options in 2025, and Restaurant365 highlights that consumers are seeking nourishing meals that don’t compromise flavor.
But nutrition goals vary. Some consumers prioritize high-protein meals, while others seek plant-based, gluten-free, sugar-free, or additive-free choices. Despite these differences, there is one area where most diners agree: the importance of eating more plants.
According to the International Food Information Council’s 2024 Food & Health Survey, 50% of consumers are trying to increase their consumption of fresh foods, which most consider to be the healthiest type of food. Fruit bowls are a satisfying way to help meet that goal. Rush Bowls packs ours with produce, making it easy for customers to get more fruits and vegetables into their diets.
No matter the dietary preference, today’s consumers are eager to include more plant-based ingredients in their meals. Rush Bowls makes that decision simple.
We’ve worked hard to create an innovative and welcoming space for people who seek to thrive… from their life experiences to their social circles to what they put in their bodies.
Simple & Scalable
Rush Bowls was built for scalability. Our owners avoid expensive build-outs, high overhead, and the complex operations typical of most healthy restaurant models. For over a decade, we’ve focused on creating a simple, efficient franchise system that supports long-term growth.
Our lower initial investment, simple operations, and strong unit economics make it easier for Franchise Owners to open additional locations. We’ve already sold out territory in Denver and Nashville, and we’re looking for like-minded entrepreneurs to help us grow into new markets and build a strong national presence in the health food franchise space.
