Hello Greenies,
as most of us, you probably have your new years resolution in mind. Our new year’s resolution is to rebrand our website & products with our new brand identity as you may know from our last post.
We’re currently in the process of rebranding and we can tell you it’s very exciting to have a fresh start after more than a decade. But this is not all we will change this year… Our salad bars will be filled with more delicious whole foods, we will make some changes in our online shop for the category sandwiches and our Green Kitchen Chefs will continue to impress you with healthy soul food you can’t say no to. To all three things said before, We’ll keep you posted on our blog!
Enough talking – enjoy a brand new recipe by our Green Kitchen @ Fountain Plaza Chef
