Healthy Takeaway Kids' Meals

Smashburger's Better For You Children's Menu Offers Nutritious Fare

Often at fast food chains the kids' meals offer low nutritional value fare that contains fillers, additives and artificial flavoring. Eatery Smashburger is looking to make a drastic change by offering 'Better for You' children's meal options that are made with wholesome ingredients alongside its traditional menu.

The 'Better for You' meals are designed to offer good quality food to children and youngsters. One of the options on the newly designed menu includes Grilled Chick Strips which is a healthier take on popular deep fried chicken nuggets. The meal is made with 100% white meat and stirs clear of using any artificial fillers or flavoring to improve taste. Other additions to the 'Better for You' meals include healthier sides such as squeezable applesauce packs instead of fries.
