Partnership Furthers Mission to Democratize
Healthy Eating & Celebrates National Salad Month
DALLAS, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Ringing in its favorite month of the year – May's
National Salad Month - Salad and Go is announcing a
partnership with nationally recognized Registered Dietitian,
Maya Feller. Feller is so passionate
about the brand's mission to make craveable, nutritious food
convenient and affordable for ALL, that she is taking on the role
of Salad and Go's first-ever Salad Nutrition Officer (SNO).
As founder of Maya Feller Nutrition, Feller believes in
providing inclusive nutrition education from an anti-bias,
patient-centered and culturally humble approach to help people make
informed food choices. In her role as SNO, Feller will take that
same approach in furthering Salad and Go's journey to eliminate the
conflict between accessibility, affordability and wellness,
presented through thoughtful menu choices and a deliberate growth
strategy.
"Maya sees life – and food – from an optimistic, bowl half-full
perspective, just like us, making her the perfect partner to help
us advance our food revolution," says Nicole Portwood, CMO of Salad and Go. "She is
not about making judgements or asking people to deny themselves and
we're honored to partner with her as we continue to focus on
serving our guests."
"I've learned from my patients that having access to affordable,
nourishing, tasty food not only feeds them in the moment, but also
creates sustainable routines that are supportive of managing and
reducing the risk of developing chronic conditions or other health
challenges," says Feller. "I respect Salad and Go's bold work to
address issues of access in our food system. Together we are
breaking down the barriers and saying people shouldn't have to
compromise on delicious, nutritious food that's also convenient and
affordable."
Feller's nutritional expertise complements Salad and Go's
Executive Chef, Daniel Patino, whose
food ethos celebrates the flavors and textures of real foods
without the use of artificial additives, stabilizers or
preservatives to make for delicious and satisfying meals every
time.
Feller's tips are now featured on the Salad and Go web
site to help guests incorporate more tasty and healthy foods
into their lives. She and Chef Patino have also created a series of
videos "digging into" food myths and nutrition misconceptions to
help unlock a new optimistic approach for healthful eating.
"Salad and Go delivering nutritionally dense, delicious food
starting at under $7 is a game
changer for millions of people," Feller continued. "I also love the
ability for endless customization and personalization when
ordering. Lately, my go-to Salad and Go order starts with a romaine
base layered with roasted chicken, banana peppers, spicy black
beans, Brussels sprouts, carrots
and cucumbers dressed with oil and vinegar."
The addition of an SNO further affirms Salad and Go's commitment
to quality and access at a critical stage of growth as the brand
expands its regional footprint and menu. By the end of May, Salad
and Go will operate well over 140 stores, keeping with its
expressed accelerated pace of growth. The team also has menu
innovations in store as well with seasonal menu offerings to be
announced later this month.
