Sweetgreen and Histamine

At Sweetgreen you build your own, and the low-histamine picks cluster in the greens and grains and the fresh veggies and fruit, with far fewer once you get into dressings, proteins, and cheeses. A bowl put together from those pieces was not itself rated, so treat the parts as your guide. The menu skews high overall, with 26 of 64 items rated high and only 20 rated low.

Common questions about Sweetgreen

What can I put in a Sweetgreen bowl that is low histamine?

The low-rated building blocks are strongest in the base group, where 7 of 9 are low, including romaine, arugula, kale, spring mix, quinoa, and both rices. Add low veggies like cucumbers, carrots, and cabbage, plus apples or peaches, and finish with extra virgin olive oil. Because Sweetgreen builds to order, the finished bowl was not rated as a whole, only these parts.

Are the dressings at Sweetgreen low histamine?

Most are not. Only 1 of 11 dressings is rated low, the extra virgin olive oil, while 8 of 11 are high. Within that group the high ratings come mainly from lemon juice on 5 items and yogurt on 3.

Which protein is the lowest option?

Of the 10 proteins, 1 is rated low, the hard boiled egg, and 3 more are moderate. The higher ratings in that group trace to things like balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and soy sauce.

Can I add cheese and still keep it low?

Goat cheese is the one low-rated cheese out of 5, with feta crumble rated moderate. The high ratings among cheeses come from parmesan on 2 items and aged cheddar on 1.
