Sweetgreen is serving clinical nutrition.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s happening: The fast-casual brand partnered with Function<\/a> co-founder Dr. Mark Hyman on a new menu, reframing salads, bowls, and plates as tools to boost energy, hit protein targets, and support long-term health.<\/p>\n Fast x functional. Catering to consumers and cultural shifts, Sweetgreen continues to double down on its health ethos \u2014 nixing seed oils<\/a>, assembling 100-gram protein meals, and adding in-app macro-counting.<\/p>\n Entering outcomes-based eating, it joins practitioner-founded True Food Kitchen in the food-as-medicine setting, while its continued protein-maxxing keeps pace with Chipotle \u2014 whose upgraded menu features \u201cGLP-1 friendly\u201d labels.<\/p>\n Precision eating. Through the partnership, diners gain access to MD-led food education on Function\u2019s app, with Sweetgreen loyalty members unlocking discounted bloodwork<\/a>.<\/p>\n Moving from promotional menu to personalized nutrition, the bigger opportunity is true integration \u2014 combining Function\u2019s diagnostics with custom Sweetgreen meals. A challenge to execute at scale, uniting labs and lunch could be the holy grail.<\/p>\n
