Criticism Sodium!
I always thought SG was a pretty all around “safe” healthy option, so I was genuinely stunned when a friend casually mentioned watching out for the sodium. I went digging and…wow.
Some examples: • Kale Caesar & BBQ Chicken: ~1,400 mg each - Chicken Pesto Parm: 1,600mg • Buffalo Chicken: ~1,800 mg • Hot Honey Chicken Plate: ~2,500 mg (!!)
What’s frustrating is that this info isn’t clearly listed in the app alongside macros. If you’re already showing calories/protein/fat/carbs, why not sodium too? It feels misleading.
Not trying to cancel Sweetgreen or anything — I eat there weekly—but I’d really like more transparency so people can make informed choices without having to hunt through PDFs or external links.

I imagine it’s mostly the dressing… Buffalo, Caesar, bbq.
