The Bowl With All the Macros

Protein-forward menu development meets Mediterranean craveability in the Medi Macro Bowl at fast-casual Luna Grill Mediterranean Kitchen. Designed to support active lifestyles without sacrificing flavor, the bowl layers flame-grilled chicken over lettuce and kale with a Lentil Quinoa Salad, hummus, olives, tzatziki and lemon vinaigrette. The result is a protein- and fiber-rich build that balances smoky, tangy, briny and herbaceous notes in every bite.

“The Medi Macro Bowl delivers the functional nutrition to fuel healthy and active lifestyles in a way that is both intentional and craveable—which is the essence of the Mediterranean diet,” says Michelle Goncalves, chief culinary officer. At the center of the dish is the Lentil Quinoa Salad, which absorbs the bright Mediterranean flavors of lemon vinaigrette, herbs and tzatziki while delivering added protein, fiber and nutrients. Goncalves credits both an immersion tour and visits with lentil farmers for inspiring the ingredient’s prominent role on the menu.

The Medi Macro Bowl struck a chord with guests seeking wellness-minded meals at the start of the year, ultimately performing so strongly that it earned a permanent spot on the menu. Its success underscores the growing appeal of functional flavor, where nutrition-focused builds still prioritize freshness, bold taste and guest satisfaction.
