1. Bowls
To offer employees of New Balance healthier options to start their workday at the athletic company’s Brighton, Mass.-based headquarters, Unidine General Manager Kathy Guild launched the Build A Better Breakfast program in January. One component is a make-your-own breakfast bowl bar stocked with various bases (Greek yogurt, quinoa, wheat germ, oats, granola) and toppings (nuts and seeds, fruit, coconut, flax). “In a nutshell, it’s a yogurt parfait in a cup that’s been elevated to the next level,” Guild says. Response has been positive. “[Diners] eat with their eyes; they like to pick and choose and make their own bowl,” she says. “You put the cover on, it’s pay by weight, you go back to your desk.”
