Greggs Unveils Spring Menu Overhaul with Healthier Options

Greggs, the beloved high street bakery chain, has declared a significant shake-up to its spring menu, promising patrons a range of healthier choices. As part of this revamp, the company is introducing two fresh menu items, alongside the return of some popular classics with revamped recipes. These changes are scheduled to roll out nationwide from Thursday, March 14.

Central to this menu transformation is the addition of two new offerings under Gregg's Balanced Choice range. This selection aims to provide customers with so-called "healthier" alternatives, boasting less than 400 calories and earning green or amber ratings on the nutritional traffic light system. Among these choices is the Piri Piri Chicken Pasta, a tantalizing combination of pasta tossed in a spicy mayo-style dressing, accompanied by sweetcorn and Piri Piri chicken breast slices, priced at £3.25 and totaling 358 calories.

Another enticing option is the Pesto and Mozzarella Pasta pot, touted as a taste of the Mediterranean. This dish features pasta enveloped in a pesto dressing, complemented by slow-roasted tomatoes, peppers, spinach, and mozzarella pearls, priced at £3.25 with a calorie count of 375.

Returning to the menu with improved recipes are favorites such as the Sweet Potato Bhaji and Rice, Smoky Cajun Rice with BBQ Chicken and Sweetcorn Fritters, Feta and Tomato Pasta, and Chicken and Bacon Pasta. The Feta and Tomato Pasta, priced at £2.25 and totaling 363 calories, offers a delightful blend of cooked pasta with a tomato and basil dressing, accented by Feta cheese, peppers, roasted red onion, and sliced spinach.

Similarly, the Chicken and Bacon Pasta, priced at £3.25 and boasting 380 calories, presents a mouthwatering combination of pasta with a mayo-style dressing, sweetcorn, tomato, smoked bacon pieces, and BBQ flavor chicken. Additionally, the Sweet Potato Bhaji and Rice, priced at £3.35 with 267 calories, offers a fusion of long grain rice and grain mix, accompanied by spinach, coriander, chickpeas, peppers, onions, and an Indian-style chana masala sauce, served with sweet potato onion bhajis.

Completing the lineup is the Smoky Cajun Rice with BBQ Chicken and Sweetcorn Fritters, priced at £3.35 and totaling 271 calories. This dish features cooked rice blended with roasted peppers, sweetcorn, roasted red onion, and a smoky paprika dressing, enhanced by BBQ-flavored chicken slices, sweetcorn fritters, and sliced spinach.

Patrons can indulge in these pasta pots and rice bowls as part of the cold sandwich or salad deal, starting from £3.75, which includes any hot or cold drink. Alternatively, the revamped spring menu is available for Click + Collect through the Greggs App or website, as well as for delivery via Just Eat or Uber Eats.
