[Chipotle Mexican Grill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-protein-menu) is starting 2023 with the new ‘Lifestyle Bowls,’ inspired by modern wellness and health trends. The company is also releasing a [wellness-themed AR Lens on Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avolotto-lens) to motivate followers to uphold healthy routines, and it will give free guacamole to 100,000 participants. The lineup includes the ‘Balanced Macros Bowl,’ ‘Veggie Full Bowl,’ ‘Wholesome Bowl,’ ‘Grain Freedom Bowl,’ ‘High Protein Bowl,’ ‘Plant-Powered Bowl,’ and the ‘Go [Half](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-caff-coffee) Veggie Bowl.’

"We created seven new Lifestyle Bowls that embrace Gen Z and Millennials' modern interpretation of wellbeing," said Chris Brandt, Chief Marketing Officer, Chipotle. "We're making new year's resolutions fun by gamifying the experience and offering balanced meals made with real ingredients that you feel good eating."

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Healthy Fast Food:** There is an opportunity for fast food chains to offer more healthy menu options inspired by wellness and health trends like Chipotle's new Lifestyle Bowls.
- **Gamification of Healthy Lifestyle:** Incorporating gamification into healthy routines can motivate customers to uphold them, evident with Chipotle's AR Lens on Snapchat and free guacamole giveaway.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can innovate by offering more healthy, customizable menu options and incorporating gamification into customers' experience, as demonstrated by Chipotle's Lifestyle Bowls and AR Lens on Snapchat.
