Green is the New Black!

Green is the New Black!

McDonald's has added a lot more green to their menu. Starting in November you can enjoy a nutritious side salad with any value meal,  cool off with the new kale smoothie, and grab a fruit salad bowl when you're on the go. 


We wanted to see healthier items on the menu and we got them. McDonald’s has a world-class culinary team composed of nutritionists, registered dietitians, and chefs who work to understand what customers want and then make sure the company delivers. McDonald's has switched from ice burg lettuce to premium lettuces like kale, baby spinach, and romaine. It also offers a wider fruit variety. Everyone loved the apple slices, but now we can enjoy and entire fruit salad that includes oranges, watermelon, kiwi, pineapples, and raspberries. 

To get a closer look into these premium, green, veggies, McDonald’s Director of Culinary Innovation and Chef Jessica Foust brings us to the “Salad Bowl of the World” in Salinas Valley, CA where McDonald’s sources its lettuce for its Premium Salads. A blend of romaine, baby spinach, baby kale and red leaf lettuce offers texture, color and flavor for every Premium Salad, made one-by one, everyday.  

 

McDonald's launches its new green menu items on November 2nd, which also happens to be National Eating Healthy Day. Make sure to check the McDonald's website to locate participating locations near you.
