Sweetgreen to introduce The Naomi Osaka bowl for a noble cause
The reigning Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka has now partnered with America’s favorite salad restaurant chain, sweetgreen. They both will jointly support and help the American Asian Foundation raise equity in the AAPI (Asian American/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy) community.
For this cause, sweetgreen will launch The Naomi Osaka bowl, an adaptation of the Japanese star’s actual meals. Interestingly, Osaka herself designed the bowl along with culinary experts from sweetgreen.
The bowl includes warm quinoa, baby spinach, cilantro, tomato, tortilla chips, raw carrots, goat cheese, blackened chicken, avocado, lime-cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette, and sweetgreen hot sauce. Her fans won’t have to wait long for this delectable item as sweetgreen will introduce the bowl on their menus from May 20.
Most significantly, 100% of the earnings from the Naomi Osaka bowl will aid in improving access to healthy food in AAPI communities.
Along with helping the cause, the buyers can also indulge in a healthier lifestyle with Osaka’s bowl. Thus, it is likely that the salad bowls will start selling like hotcakes.
Besides that, the 23-year-old has also started a Play Academy for girls in Japan. Her main objective is to help young girls with everything to pursue their careers in sports.

Osaka’s chances at the French Open 2021
Tennis-wise, Osaka hasn’t had a good couple of tournaments due to them having been on a clay surface. However, she is looking forward to doing well in Paris at the French Open 2021.
But it is unclear how much her one win in Madrid and opening match loss in Rome would affect her mindset. Given the nature of the clay surface, she might have wanted to spend a few more match hours on it to improve her chances. It remains to be seen if she can produce magic in Paris this year.
Do you think Naomi will win another Grand Slam in 2021?
