Satisfying and craveable, Bistro Loaded Bowls are made with the freshest greens, more than 12 grams of protein, crunchy toppings and creamy dips, all without compromising on convenience. No meal prep, no lines—just grab, go, and enjoy.

"As bowl culture continues to explode across fast-casual restaurants, consumers are increasingly seeking convenient, fresh, and nutritious meals packed with flavorful, quality ingredients and proteins," said Bobby Chacko, CEO of Bonduelle Americas. "With our new Bistro Loaded Bowls, we're bringing bowl enthusiasts into the ready-to-eat salad aisle to enjoy a heartier, chef-crafted, topping-forward salad that doesn't compromise on size, taste, or convenience."

Crunchy elements like seeds, nuts, and aromatic croutons add crunchy texture, while zesty dressings tie everything together with bright, bold flavors. Make no mistake, these are not your average bowls.
