The Smoothie King Chicken Flatbreads are a series of new additions to the brand's food menu arriving in time for the summer to offer customers a series of ways to satisfy cravings, but also hit nutritional goals.
The menu items start off with lightly toasted flatbread that's topped with grilled chicken, tomatoes and cheese before being folded over for a pocket-like profile. This will work well for accommodating eating out of the house when in need of a quick lunch or even in the car without having to worry about making a mess; a crucial benefit for today's consumer on a tight schedule. The sandwiches come in at 270-calories or less with 15-grams of protein to give each one a modest macronutrient profile amongst customers who have come to expect protein.
The Smoothie King Chicken Flatbreads come with the aforementioned base ingredients and come with your choice of Ranch, Chipotle or Pesto sauce.
