Health-Focused Entrée Menus

TGI Fridays' Better for You Menu Has a Meatless Burger and Superfoods

Those who are aiming to start off their new year by making more mindful food choices will now be able to do so with ease thanks to the TGI Fridays Better for You menu.

Some of the options available on the new menu include the Dragon Glaze Salmon with Fresh Mango Pico, the Super Veggies side and the Beyond Meat Burger, which is entirely plant-based. The Better for You menu champions meal choices that are packed with nutrient-dense superfoods, Asian-inspired flavors and meatless options for those who are looking to cut down on their consumption of meat without skimping on protein. Although many vegetarian burger options leave meat-loving consumers feeling as though they're missing out on something, the Beyond Burger boasts more protein and iron, as well as less saturated fat, than beef.
