It's a late night and you are craving some fast food. You need something cheap, yummy, and fast. But, you don't feel like greasy McDonalds or Jack in the Box. How about Taco Bell? It now seems to be one of the healthiest fast food chains around
Taco Bell has cut out artificial ingredients and is now using cage-free eggs. For those of you who don't know -- cage free eggs mean the hens are able to walk, spread their wings, and lay their eggs in nests.
Fresco Menu - You can also make every item on Taco Bell's menu "fresco." All of the sauces and cheeses are taken out to reduce the calorie and fat count and they add pico de gallo instead!
Cantina Menu - This high protein bowl includes real Haas avocados, roasted corn and pepper salsa, and citrus-herb marinated chicken. It truly is a fresh, healthy spin to their menu that uses local ingredients.
Vegetarian Menu - Beans, guacamole, potatoes, and rice in your burrito can now substitute meat! Taco Bell has something for every audience.
Although all of this is a steer into a healthier direction, Taco Bell still has their classics such as the Crunch Wrap Supreme, Doritos Locos Tacos, and the Quesalupa.
Taco Bell is giving their customers a choice. They want everyone to feel included, and want everyone to know that their is a healthy option to choose if they want. They have tailored their nutrition strategy around this "choice."
Their online menu and ordering has given their customers a visual tracker of what is in their meal, and what can be taken out. It really gives the customer the opportunity to have options and puts them in control of what they are eating.
This tailored way of ordering food and new menus has helped customers who are trying to be diet conscious.
Although I am still not a fan of fast food, I think Taco Bell is headed into the right direction. Good for you Taco Bell! Way to care about the health of your customers!
Have a great week friends!
