To highlight August as National Wellness Month, we sat down with one of our restaurant partners in Nashville, E+ROSE! On a mission to inspire wellness, the E+ROSE team gave us a closer look at their delicious, nutrient-rich, and plant-forward menu that fuels customers in more ways than one.
Q: What inspires you to bring Wellness to your customers?
A: Our mission is to inspire wellness, and one of our core beliefs is that when you are healthy, you are happy. Founded by a Registered Dietitian, E+ROSE is the culmination of much research and experience. After spending years working with healthcare systems, he realized first hand how many people were sick and hospitalized due primarily to poor nutrition. Of the strong belief that our food choices greatly impact our health, and the desperate need for more nutrient-rich, quick service options, the solution of E+ROSE was born.
Q: What does Wellness mean to you?
A: To us, wellness means feeling your best - in both mind and body. It means cultivating a lifestyle for longevity.
Q: How does your food promote Wellness?
A: We believe whole, all natural, plant-forward foods to be incredibly healing and nourishing. All of our items are prepared from scratch, and we create items that deliver happiness to the palette and yet bring improved performance to the body. Your meals should help fuel you, and everything we offer has been thoroughly considered to leave you feeling satisfied, fulfilled, and on a path towards higher nourishment.
Q: What is the most important Wellness trait to you?
A: Wellness takes on a different meaning for each individual. We believe personalization and determining what works best for you to be the most important. Every day trillions upon trillions of chemical reactions occur in your body, and every single body is different. We live in a world that is hyper polarized as to 'what works' and 'what doesn't', and we believe it is ever important to understand that what is best and wellness driven for some is not necessarily something that will work for someone else. Be open, and find what works for you!
Q: What menu item do you recommend the most?
A: Our most popular menu item since Day 1 is the Pro Bowl. It is a superfood laden, antioxidant loaded, fiber and protein rich meal that is enjoyed by all. It contains house prepped almond milk (just almonds and water - no crazy additives and preservatives), unsweetened (this is important and rare in our industry) acai, bananas, blueberries, and pea protein blended to perfection and topped with crushed almonds, sliced bananas, local honey, gluten free granola, peanut butter and cinnamon.
Q: What would you like your community to know about E+Rose Wellness Bodega?
A: We wish to enhance your wellness journey through our thoughtful attention. At E+ROSE, we believe in food as medicine. We create items that deliver happiness to the palette and yet bring improved performance to the body. Your meals should help fuel you in all you do. Our cafes are stocked with all natural, whole food based provisions. We intend to leave you feeling satisfied, fulfilled, and on a path towards higher nourishment. Your experience is of utmost importance, as we know your health depends on it.
Q: What is your favorite thing about working with Sharebite?
A: Sharebite allows us access to people that may not have the time to venture out to one of our cafes during the day, and it gives us the opportunity to positively impact more people with our offerings.
Q: How has working with Sharebite added value to your business?
A: Sharebite has been an excellent partner as it has allowed us an additional path to introduce our brand to more people. Sharebite makes our normally convenient and quick-service foods even easier and more convenient for the end customer.
After our interview, we couldn’t stop thinking about all those natural superfood infused and protein-rich meals. Are you happening to crave their Pro Bowl, too? We definitely are and we wouldn’t mind a plant based latte too!
If you happen to be in the Nashville area, stopping by one E+ROSE's 7 restaurants is a must. You may never think about plant forward wellness cafes the same again!
