Ottawa, IL September 04, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating (SSHE) is rolling out 17 new meals this fall, expanding its selection of protein-forward, gluten-free and health-focused options in response to changing customer preferences.

Since launching Choose Your Own Meals earlier this year, approximately 20% of SSHE meal purchases have come from the customizable program. Among customers using nutrition filters to browse the menu, Protein Packed is the most frequently selected, signaling strong demand for meals that deliver more protein while maintaining balanced nutrition.

"High-protein eating may be having a moment, but balanced, evidence-based nutrition has always been at the core of Seattle Sutton's," said Rene Ficek, registered dietitian nutritionist and President and Owner of Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating. "Our customers were asking for more protein-forward choices, and Chef Marcus was able to deliver them without compromising the nutrition standards that have defined our meals for more than 40 years."

"Our goal was to create meals that feel hearty and satisfying while still meeting our rigorous nutrition standards," said Chef Marcus Mooney. "These dishes show that healthy eating doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor."

The fall refresh replaces seasonal salads on the Choose Your Own Meals menu with heartier bowls, including items such as the Barbacoa Beef Bowl, Italian Hearth Porchetta Bowl, and Farmstead Turkey Bowl. SSHE is also introducing 12 new meals across its rotating Dietitian-Designed Meal Plans, including Asian Potstickers, Cheddar & Egg Biscuit Sandwich, and Smoked Cheddar Chicken.

The 17 new meals span multiple nutrition categories, with many qualifying for more than one designation. Among the new additions:

- All 17 are Diabetes Friendly
- 15 are Low Sodium
- 13 are Protein Packed
- 10 are Kidney Care
- 9 are Heart Smart
- 7 are Gluten Free
- 3 are Vegetarian

The seasonal update also reflects SSHE's commitment to ingredient quality. As the availability and quality of fresh produce changes with the season, the company is transitioning toward dishes better suited to fall and winter.

"We would rather adjust our menu seasonally than compromise on ingredient quality," Ficek said. "The result is a fall menu that is warmer, heartier and still delivers the balanced nutrition our customers expect."

All Seattle Sutton's meals are freshly prepared and never frozen, dietitian-approved and chef-crafted, and ready to eat in minutes. Light and full portion options are available to accommodate different nutrition needs and preferences.

The new fall meals are available now for delivery or pickup throughout Chicagoland. Customers can explore the menu at seattlesutton.com/menus.
