3. Chick-fil-A’s whole-grain bowls
The fried chicken chain continues to try to play in the healthful realm, testing two new bowls—the Harvest Kale & Grain Bowl and Egg White Grill Grain Bowl—in select locations. The chain is cross-utilizing what’s already in stock for the new offerings. The Harvest bowl features chopped Broccolini and kale from the Superfood Side (plus roasted squash, diced apples, nuts and a goat cheese blend), and the breakfast bowl includes some of the same ingredients from its Egg White Grill breakfast sandwich. Both will feature the same grain blend of red quinoa, white quinoa and farro.
Chick-fil-A’s healthful tests aren’t limited to bowls, though. The chain also is testing a smoothie-like Berry Protein Blend, featuring a mix of berries, whole grains, chia seeds and yogurt.
