Emily T Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Protein: I asked today at Sweetgreen and determined that the chicken is usually locally raised and vegetarian. The chicken is seasoned with "Sweetgreen seasoning" (contains herbs and spices, no sugar), and is cooked in an olive oil/canola oil blend. I read on the W9 website that canola should be avoided if possible but is inevitable if dining out - so you may want to skip the chicken if you are concerned about that. Hard boiled eggs are a good alternative to the chicken, and they are local. Bacon is cured with sugar and is out. Some stores have turkey - it is honey roasted, so you should avoid. All other protein is grain/legume/soy (falafel, chickpeas, tofu). Veggies: All of the raw produce is okay - I didn't ask about the cooked produce like the sweet potatoes or beets as these are mostly seasonal and likely vary from store to store. They will usually have a list of ingredients on the wall showing where they are from - most stuff is seasonal and local. Fat: here was a long line behind me waiting, so I didn't ask about all of the dressings, just the one I usually get - lime cilantro jalapeno. It is lime juice, cilantro, ground jalapeno, and olive oil. I assume most of the dressings there would be similar but you should ask. Happy eating!

eronn_actually Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Awesome, thank you! A sweetgreen just opened down the block from me - I need to go there for dinner soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani0330 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Quick note about the dressings -- I asked and was shown a list of ingredients in all the dressings, and many of them have sweeteners like agave or honey. The lime cilantro jalapeño doesn't, though, like Emily said, and it's so delicious! I didn't really look at many other dressings on the list, but it might be a good idea to ask before you get another dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted August 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2013 Just a few days after completing my Whole30 I was in another part of town for a class. Grabbed a big salad after asking all about the dressings (went with olive oil and vinegar). At the last moment I added bacon thinking it was an ok "indulgence" now that I was done with my Whole30. HOLY SUGAR. These are like, candied sugar crunch coated bacon pieces. And they were all mixed in. I realized how sweet they were but continued to eat them. I barely made it through the afternoon portion of that class. SUGAR COMA! And then I felt fatigued the entire next day. So be careful with that, especially if you are just coming off 30+ days of zero sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragsdalk Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Love this - I go to SW a few times a week and this is GREAT news. I will just add an extra egg and cut out the shrimp. I wonder if the crab is compliant for this month's seasonal salad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohannaE Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bad news... I got the following response to my e-mail asking about how their proteins and cooked veggies were prepared: Response: "Hi Johanna! Unfortunately, all of our cooked ingredients have sugar in them... sorry about that :(" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
