Pair American consumers’ favorite protein with one of their top grab-and-go formats and you have a winning dish with a world of flavor possibilities.

Some key trends in bowls right now include the addition of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors, in which chicken, or other protein, is paired with everything from couscous or cauliflower rice as a base to za’atar or shawarma seasoning.

Bowls are also completely customizable to specific diets, like the popular keto, making them a key addition for health-conscious consumers.
