The letter of the day is “D” for delicious because Just Salad is collaborating with Sesame Street! The two are teaming up to create a new kid’s menu perfect for picky eaters and Sesame Street-lovers alike. Just Salad — a counter-service chain that specializes in healthy food and sustainable options — serves salads, bowls, wraps, smoothies, soups, and snacks.
The collab introduces a kid’s menu to Just Salad’s offerings for the first time. It’s available for children 12 and under and features fun Sesame Street-inspired names and options that young fans will enjoy. Since Just Salad aims to incorporate healthy eating and sustainable living into its customers’ lives, adding a kid’s menu that features nutritious food just makes sense. Showcasing familiar faces and names, such as Cookie Monster and Elmo, might make it easier for kids to eat food they might view as boring.
Salad shoppers can choose from six different options, including four meals and two smoothies. The “Happy to be Harvest” salad includes romaine lettuce, apples, croutons, cheddar, and roasted chicken, while “Me Want Caesar” is an ode to Cookie Monster and includes romaine lettuce and kale, roasted chicken, croutons, dried cranberries, and apples.
The last two meal options are the “Om Nom Nom Bowl,” a bowl with brown rice, carrots, corn, roasted chicken, and avocado, and “Elmo’s Avocado Toast,” which includes avocado mash and corn on toast.
If it’s easier to get your kid to eat some fruit in the form of a smoothie, there are two options on the new menu for them to try. The “Ah Ah Almond Berry Smoothie” has an oat milk base mixed with bananas, almond butter, blueberries, strawberries, flax seed, and organic agave. The second smoothie, called “B is for Banana Smoothie,” also has an oat milk base but is slightly simpler, including only bananas, strawberries, flax seed, and organic agave.
Just Salad has locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Dubai.
The menu is now available in-store, but you won’t able to order it online quite yet. Just make sure the kiddo in your life knows that all of these menu items are Cookie Monster-approved!
