Looking for a healthy lunch? Check out the CPK Smart Swaps menu for guilt-free twists on iconic pizzas, pastas, and salads at participating U.S. locations.
California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) is making it easier than ever to stick to your wellness resolutions without giving up your favorite comfort foods. The iconic restaurant brand just announced the launch of its new Smart Swaps menu, a collection of nine fan-favorite dishes reimagined with a healthy twist.
Launched in partnership with fitness icons Denise and Katie Austin, the Smart Swaps menu focuses on three main categories: protein-packed, plant-forward, and lower-calorie options. Whether you are looking to increase your protein intake or reduce carbs, these “hacks” let you enjoy CPK’s bold California flavors while meeting your nutritional goals.
CPK’s Smart Swaps
“CPK’s Smart Swaps truly align with how we’ve always approached a healthy lifestyle – simple, balanced choices that never sacrifice flavor,” said Katie Austin. “I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 40 years, and I’ve always believed that healthy living should feel joyful and sustainable, not restrictive – and CPK has been a favorite of ours for decades,” added Denise Austin. “So many of our family memories were made around the table there, watching the girls grow up and sharing meals together.”
