Did you know that March is National Nutrition Month®? The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics created the annual campaign to focus on the importance of making informed food choices, developing sound eating habits, and encouraging healthy physical activity. The 2016 National Nutrition Month theme is "Savor the Flavor of Eating Right," which encourages everyone to take the time to enjoy food traditions, appreciate the pleasures of food, flavors, and the social aspect that food adds to our lives.
Boston Market has been ahead of the pack when it comes to promoting healthy eating and family traditions, launching their 'All Good' campaign last year. Just in time for National Nutrition Month, Boston Market included its "150 Ways to Eat Right" list, which features 150 Boston Market home style meal combinations that are 550 calories or less, and still full of flavor. The list features complete meals and fan favorite market bowls for as low as $6.99. Entrees range from boneless rotisserie chicken to roasted turkey (along with gravy!) and hearty sides of mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, and corn bread.
“Today’s health-conscious consumers are pressed for time – and in need of nutritious meal options that they feel good about eating and serving loved ones on-the-go,” said Boston Market CEO George Michel, also known as The Big Chicken. “That’s why we’ve designed a flavorful menu that helps guests reduce their sodium and calorie intake while enjoying their favorite home style foods.”
Boston Market has completed a number of their own initiatives to help guide their patrons with healthier dining decisions like:
- Sodium Reduction - Removing salt shakers from tables in all of their restaurants
- Recipe Library - Providing delicious recipes to dress up menu items with a few simple ingredients
- Nutrition Calculators - Interactive calculators allow guests to custom-build meals online and review their nutritional value
- Allergen Menu - Helping guests with dietary restrictions and identifying menu items that they can safely enjoy
Boston Market was awarded a HALO Award by QSR Magazine in 2014 for its meaningful contributions to a healthy, active lifestyle for consumers. Read more about Boston Market's healthy meals at Restaurant News
