Adopting a healthier lifestyle is one of the most common new year’s resolutions, which means that more and more restaurant-goers are on the lookout for healthier options.
Luckily, catering to customers that prioritize healthy eating doesn’t have to involve changing your entire menu. You can help your customers achieve their health goals by incorporating healthy cooking methods, highlighting nutritious meal options, and staying on top of the latest health food trends.
Incorporating Healthier Cooking Methods
You don’t need to create a whole new menu to please healthy eaters. Something as simple as incorporating healthier cooking methods will do the trick.
Most restaurants give customers the option to customize their meals by swapping out sides and asking how they prefer their meat to be cooked. You can easily take this one step further by giving your customers the option to have their meal grilled, roasted, or steamed instead of fried.
Highlighting Nutritious Meal Options
Make it easy for healthy eaters to find what they’re looking for by highlighting nutritious meal options. You can either create a new section in your menu for healthy meals or place an icon next to each healthy option.
If you want to add more nutritious meals to your menu, here are a few popular choices that you should consider:
- Salads
- Grilled chicken
- Shrimp skewers
- Soft shell tacos
- Power bowls
Adding key nutritional information such as calories, protein, and carbs will help your customers make an informed decision.
