A Healthy Way to Start Your Day

The daypart that took us by storm this past year was, without a doubt, breakfast. Entire fast-casual chains focus on breakfast-all-day. We’ve seen a turn toward ethnic flavors, as well as a blurring of dayparts. The Shakshuka Breakfast Pizza here mixes Middle Eastern and Italian flavors and can be served at any time of day.

Meat-free, vegan and flexitarian options are also big on breakfast menus; our new Sysco Simply line of products is ready to meet that demand. The Sysco Simply Cauliflower Pizza Crust used to make the Shakshuka Pizza is “100 percent vegan and gluten-free,” says Evan Nave, Senior Manager of Brand Development. “But if you were to do a blind taste test and serve this with a wheat-based pizza crust, you’d have a difficult time trying to tell the difference.”

To go with your morning cup of coffee or tea, Sysco Simply offers a choice of almond, coconut and soy alternative beverages. “So many consumers now prefer nondairy beverages, for reasons ranging from health to allergies to taste, that [these beverages] are no longer considered a trend. They are simply part of a lifestyle,” says Caitlin Armstrong, Brand Development Manager for Sysco Simply. Topping off the new line is the Sysco Simply Plant-Based Barista Blend (pictured on the coffee above), a thicker nondairy beverage that comes in almond, coconut and oat and allows operators to create that foamy cappuccino consumers crave.
