Vitality Bowls is joining forces with Nature’s Path Organic Foods to offer superfood café customers extra granola with any Vitality Bowls acai bowl purchase for free.
Offered Saturday and Sunday, September 5-6, Vitality Bowls customers will be able to add Nature’s Path Organic Hemp granola to their favorite açaí bowl all day long. Made with whole grain rolled oats, flax seeds and hemp seeds, Nature’s Path Organic Hemp granola is certified organic, non-GMO and free of artificial preservatives or additives.
“One of our most popular superfood toppings is Nature’s Path granola,” says Tara Gilad, president and co-founder of Vitality Bowls. “The whole grain rolled oats and seeds perfectly complement our nutritious açaí bowls, and pair well with other fruit toppings. We encourage all new guests and loyal fans to take advantage of the offering September 5-6.
All customers will receive the free granola add-on at their nearest participating Vitality Bowls location on September 5-6 with the purchase of any bowl with no coupon code required.
Originating in Northern California, Vitality Bowls has solidified itself as America’s superfood café – combining a dynamic café vibe with a unique collection of menu items containing high nutritional values and extraordinary tastes. The brand specializes in açaí bowls – a thick blend of the Amazon’s antioxidant-rich açaí berry, topped with a variety of superfoods. All items are made to order and prepared in a kitchen designed to avoid cross contact for customers with food allergies. All of the brand’s bowls and smoothies are free of ingredient fillers such as ice, frozen yogurt or artificial preservatives, giving the purest taste possible.
The menu features the widest variety of unique superfoods, including organic mangosteen, organic camu camu, organic spirulina, organic aronia, organic moringa, organic maca, bee pollen and more. Guests can choose from a variety of delectable options, such as the Dragon Bowl (featuring pitaya, coconut milk and bananas) and the signature Vitality Bowl (with organic açaí, strawberries and honey).
On the cusp of exciting promotions, Vitality Bowls is also gearing up to celebrate the company’s 10-year anniversary in October 2021. The milestone will recognize a successful decade for founders Tara and Roy Gilad after they first created Vitality Bowls in 2011 as a result of discovering their daughter’s severe food allergies and wanting a restaurant concept with healthy, allergy-safe food alternatives.
Vitality Bowls will open a new location at The Village in the O Town West development late 2021 or early 2022 according to Franchisee Sergio Lopez.
The brand’s concept centers around açaí bowls, a thick blend of antioxidant-rich, organic açaí berries that originate from the Amazon rainforest. The benefits of consuming açaí have been hailed to alleviate arthritis pain, promote weight loss, lower cholesterol, and support overall general health. Lopez said Vitality Bowls’ health focus was what initially drew him to the company.
“I have a passion for health and wellness,” said Lopez. “Vitality Bowls is unique because we offer superfoods that aren’t available in just any grocery store or restaurant.”
The company’s signature menu item, the Vitality Bowl, includes organic açaí and the brand’s VB Blend, with superfoods like mangosteen, aronia berry, camu camu, moringa, açaí, blueberries, and pomegranate. Customers can also choose pitaya, graviola, or acerola as their bowl base as a substitute to açaí, and select from a long list of topping options like bananas, strawberries, dark chocolate, and coconut shavings.
All bowls are made fresh to order and are free from ice, frozen yogurt, artificial preservatives, trans fat and other fillers. Additional menu items include salads, protein bowls, wraps, avocado toast, smoothies, juices, paninis and soup.
Vitality Bowls is Lopez’s first venture into the restaurant franchise business, having spent the majority of his career in retail. He originally considered Park Avenue as a location, but had some reservations about managing his retail businesses from across town.
“When I saw O Town West, I fell in love with it. It’s an amazing opportunity to tap in to a growing community and tourist market. From a management standpoint, it was perfect.”
Vitality Bowls will join V’s Barbershop, Flippers Pizzeria, and Jeremiah’s Italian Ice at The Village at O Town West. Unicorp National is heading the development, which is located between Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World and includes 80,000 square feet of commercial space.
During the first two quarters of 2021, the brand’s systemwide sales increased by 68 percent from the first half of 2020.

Leading superfoods concept and allergy-friendly café, Vitality Bowls, is coming off of two successful quarters and is geared up for noteworthy expansion in the balance of 2021.
Approaching its 10-year anniversary in October of this year, the Northern California-based company has recently announced four new franchise agreements and seven new signed leases that will add more than 12 new stores to Vitality Bowls’ growing footprint, solidifying its status as a trailblazer in the health-food franchise space.
“After a strong start to the year, we are even more thrilled about what’s in store for Vitality Bowls in the months ahead,” says Roy Gilad, CEO of Vitality Bowls, who founded the company with his wife and company executive Tara. “Our development and operational teams have been hard at work for more than a year now, strengthening our franchise development strategies, planning and executing pivotal menu innovations and enhancing the capabilities and resources that go into the support we give to our franchisees.
During the first two quarters of 2021, the brand’s systemwide sales increased by 68 percent from the first half of 2020. And, the newly-announced Savory Menu that Vitality Bowls will launch nationally this fall, featuring grain bowls, salads, wraps and toasts, has already proved to be successful in selected regional test markets, resulting in reduced labor costs and increased store AUV, boosting sales performances for participating franchise locations across all test markets.
This month, Vitality Bowls also announced the addition of John Mascali to its leadership team. Joining the brand as its newest Chief Operations Officer, Danville, California-based Mascali will now lead national strategies and operational leadership to support café sales and operations.
“We’re so proud of our team’s resilience and continued commitment to our mission to bring healthy dining alternatives and allergy-friendly nutrition to local communities across the country,” adds Gilad. “As we celebrate our 10th year in business, Vitality Bowls is stronger than ever and we would not be in this position without the incredible work and dedication our corporate and franchisee team members have put in over the last decade.”
Nationwide growth remains a priority for the brand this year, and the company has identified markets in California, Texas, North Carolina, New York, Florida, Arizona, Tennessee and Florida as a natural next step for Vitality Bowls.
