Superfoods on Westin Menus

Here’s something for the health-conscious traveler: the Westin chain of hotels has teamed up with SuperFoods Partners LLC to create menus rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, such as banana oatmeal brulé, green-tea-infused salmon and molten dark chocolate cake. Steven Pratt, M.D., founder of SuperFoods Partners LLC is the author of SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life.

“We are proud to be the first hotel brand to embrace the SuperFoods concept,” said Sue Brush, senior vice president of Westin Hotels & Resorts. “Advancing the health benefits of the SuperFoods on our menus underscores Westin’s commitment to helping guests live their best lives and create healthful habits that will stay with them long after their stay with us.”

Based on the nutritional concepts outlined in the bestselling series of SuperFoodsRx books, which are published by SuperFoods Partners LLC, the Westin SuperFoods menu is not restrictive and is not a diet. Rather, dishes that contain the SuperFoods—fruit, vegetables, grains and proteins which are known to improve well-being and longevity—are marked by the SuperFoodsRx greenleaf logo . The logo signifies that a menu item has been approved by SuperFoodsRx’s team of nutritionists and doctors, and that the selection contains nutritionally significant amounts of one or more of the SuperFoods.

These menus are currently being rolled out in the 25 Westin hotels in the U.S. and Canada, an in 2008 to include those in the Asia Pacific.
