The demand for breakfast bowls is high, and it’s easy to see why. Chock full of good-for-you ingredients like superfoods, matcha, chia seeds, acai, oatmeal, ancient grains, quinoa and more, they’re a surefire way to ensure your day is off to a great start.

“A smoothie bowl can provide you with all the nutrients that you need for a start to your day,” says Manuel Trevino, corporate executive chef of by CHLOE. — a fast-growing vegan restaurant with locations spreading throughout New York City and Los Angeles (and two Boston outposts on the way). “Our Green Day smoothie [bowl] packs good-for-you fats from avocado and rich nutrients from greens like spinach and kale, while almond butter and flaxseed meal give you the protein and fiber to fill you up. Top with preferred toppings like goji berries, coconut and banana, and it’s an ideal meal.

“I think breakfast bowls are absolutely going to stick around — they travel well, and whether they are sweet or savory, can be adjusted depending on your mood and appetite for the day. Whether it’s a smoothie bowl, a grain bowl or otherwise, the options are endless.”

In San Francisco, Green Heart Foods is responsible for catering healthy breakfast meals to top tech firms like LinkedIn, Airbnb, Microsoft and Uber on a daily basis. The GHF Bowl, one of the company’s most popular breakfast items (also available at the café) is packed with superfoods, vegetables and protein, in order to properly fuel employees for the work day ahead.
