Kroger inspiring customers to go big with fresh foods
The Kroger Co. is looking to get shoppers to focus more on fresh foods with some mealtime inspiration. The retailer shared its simple guide to building the perfect bowl recipe, including extra veggies and a variety of proteins and grains for easy, hearty winter meal solutions.
"Bowls are a perfect template for a fresh and hearty meal that are easy to prep ahead of time for a lunch away from home or no hassle dinner," said Carlo Baldan, group vice president of fresh merchandising at Kroger.
Try these popular styles of bowl builds: the Buddha Bowl, the Poke Bowl, the Rice Bowl or a custom bowl to suit any meal — even breakfast. The retailer has more than 50 bowl recipes on its blog, The Fresh Lane.
"Make mealtime fun with a build-your-own bowl night where everyone can help with dinner," said Baldan. "Start with a grain base like rice or quinoa and customize with your family's favorite fresh ingredients, proteins and toppings."
