Over the past few years, many people have made a commitment to live healthier lives, which has made specialty diets like Paleo, the ketogenic diet and the Whole30 program mainstream. Knowing that many more people will be making diet-based resolutions for their health and wellness with the arrival of a new year, Chipotle launched a collection of Lifestyle Bowls.
These all-new Lifestyle Bowls include the Paleo Salad Bowl, the Keto Salad Bowl, a Whole30 Salad Bowl and the Double Protein Bowl, which are exclusively available through the Chipotle mobile app and website. Each of the diet-centric menu offerings have been crafted to support the requirements of the different diet plans—for instance, the Double Protein Bowl is packed with a full-portion chicken and steak, while the Keto Salad Bowl follows the low-carb, high-fat model.
