Prediction #4: Breakfast bowls will get a boost
Verdict: Nailed it
Savory breakfast bowls have gained steam in recent months, playing to consumers’ plea for freshness, portability and, well, simply more offerings in the early hours. McDonald’s even began testing two versions of a breakfast bowl at a group of units in Southern California.
Smoothie bowls, which top a smoothie base with items such as fresh fruit and granola, are gaining menu traction, too.
