Americans need – and are asking for – more healthy-eating options.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Americans eat less than the recommended amount of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dairy products and oils. Not only that, but reducing sodium intake by 1,200 milligrams per day could possibly save as much as $20 billion a year in medical costs.
Fortunately, these franchises offer healthy eating options and are looking to expand – and we’re not talking about waistlines here.
Here are 10 emerging healthy eating franchises that currently have less than 50 units.
