As the holiday season fades and the new year gets underway, First Watch invites guests to bring some color to those gray winter days with its new menu featuring a slew of premium ingredients. Whether a diehard pancake enthusiast looking to indulge with a little less guilt, a carnivore on the prowl for some lean protein, or someone simply looking for something sweet, First Watch has everyone covered.

“Following the holiday season and the decadence that comes with it, we can all use a reset on healthy eating, but that doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice flavor,” says Shane Schaibly, senior vice president of culinary strategy for First Watch. “In addition to bringing three new seasonal offerings packed with lean protein or our signature superseed crunch, our Purple Haze juice is back following an overwhelming volume of requests from our customers. Folks seem to love the color-changing drink, and it’s one of my favorites too.”

First Watch’s new seasonal menu selections are available nationwide through March 13 and include:

The Trailblazer Bowl – Hand-pulled roasted turkey, house-roasted sweet potatoes, cage-free scrambled eggs, lemon tahini arugula, fresh avocado with superseed crunch and fresh herbs.

Carnitas Breakfast Burrito – Pork carnitas, cage-free scrambled eggs, fresh seasoned potatoes, black beans, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and fresh avocado. Wrapped in a grilled whole wheat tortilla, covered with tomatillo hollandaise and topped with lime crema, pico de gallo, house-pickled red onion, fresh cilantro and Cotija cheese.

Superseed Protein Pancakes – Flax, hemp, kasha, pepitas and sunflower seeds added to our multigrain pancake batter. Served as three mid-sized pancakes topped with fresh sliced bananas, blueberries, maple-almond butter, vanilla Greek yogurt and superseed crunch. Served with warm mixed berry compote.

From the Juice Bar:

Purple Haze – Lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea and a hint of lavender.
