Sandella’s Flatbread Café, the flagship fast casual concept in the Diversity Food Brands’ portfolio, is expanding its menu offerings to meet the growing consumer demand for more plant-based food options.

The company is now introducing 15 new vegan menu items made with fresh ingredients like bean sprouts, arugula, tofu and quinoa that complement Sandella’s appealing healthy, delicious menu. Sandella’s 70 locations are found mainly at hospitals, university campuses and corporate settings, appealing to students, travelers and employees looking for healthier options than traditional fast food.

Known for its customizable menu of portable hot and cold sandwiches, fresh salads, and rice and power blend bowls, Sandella’s focuses on providing craveable flavors in every menu item by using fresh herbs and handcrafted seasonings

The highlights of the new Sandella’s vegan menu include:

  • Avocado Veggie Burger—made with a freshly grilled veggie patty, sliced avocado and tomatoes, lettuce and bean sprouts served on Sandella’s proprietary bistro bread.
  • Brazilian Tofu and Quinoa Bowl—quinoa, tofu, broccoli florets, and red onion with a drizzle of Sandella’s special Brazilian sauce.
  • Black Beans and Tofu Quinoa Bowl—black beans, quinoa, and tofu with green peppers and salsa combine for a protein-packed meal.
  • Hawaiian Tofu Pizza—tofu, pineapple chunks, barbecue sauce on grilled flatbread.
  • Southwest Veggie Burger—freshly grilled veggie patty, lettuce and housemade black bean and tomato salsa.

There are also three wraps on the new menu, including Spinach and Falafel Bistro Wrap, Vegan Hummus and Avocado Wrap and Falafel Wrap.

As consumers continue to search for healthier and more plant-based food options, Sandella’s aims to provide its consumers with top quality meals packed with mouthwatering flavor bite after bite.
