Jamaica Blue unveils new Signature Harvest Collection
Developed focusing on natural, unprocessed and locally sourced produce.
Jamaica Blue’s Brand Manager, Drew Eide said he is proud of this initiative, bringing the Signature Harvest Collection to the ‘healthy’ table. “The inspiration was to get back to basics, creating simple natural food which is big on flavour,” he says. “All fresh ingredients are sourced locally to deliver real natural flavour, and prepared on-site in our cafés, every day.”
With a plant-based foundation, the menu has been developed in close consultation with, Food & Nutrition Australia to ensure all recipes are nutritionally balanced.
“At Food & Nutrition Australia, we helped to develop a comprehensive set of criteria for the Signature Harvest Collection based on the latest scientific evidence around healthy eating guidelines to ensure that each dish delivered balanced health and nutritional benefits,” Sharon Natoli, Director of Food & Nutrition Australia, said.
Weighing in on the menu is celebrity nutritionist and chef, Zoe Bingley-Pullin who officially launched the menu on 30 November..
“I travel regularly and eat out with my family and friends, I recognise how little choice there is for quick and healthy foods. So I have really enjoyed working with Jamaica Blue to launch their interesting, wholefood menu. With items like their nutrient dense Enrichment Bowls and delicious snacks like their Seed & Nut Bar, I love that this menu is light and fresh and full of goodness,” she said.
The Signature Harvest Collection taps into the latest food trend of plant-based eating; essentially a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds and legumes and lower in animal-based products especially red and processed meats.
The new Signature Harvest Collection menu includes:
- Super Fruit Bowl
- Vitality Bowl
- Coconut Berry Smoothie
- Enrichment Bowl
- Ocean & Earth Salad
- Zucchini Garden Salad
- Seed & Nut Bar
- Dark Chocolate & Fruit Bar
- Blueberry Honey Spelt Bar
The Signature Harvest Collection is available nationally at all Jamaica Blue cafés.
