Not only does the new dish cater to those specifically following the keto diet, but it is also a great option for consumers who are cutting back on carbs and trying to eat more healthy fats. The new Smoked Brisket Keto Bowl is a keto-friendly meal that combines smoked brisket and hand-smashed guacamole with lettuce, house-made pico de gallo, salsa verde, and shredded cheese. In addition to the new keto option, Qboda has also debuted a vegan-friendly Grilled Fajita Vegan Bowl and a protein-rich [Chicken Protein Bowl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-in-the-box-protein). With its three new chef-inspired lifestyle bowls, Qboda is catering to changing consumers diets and food preferences.
