The Healthiest Foods At Chipotle

July 8, 2019

I talked to MindBodyGreen about the healthiest choices on the menu at Chipotle!

I had a patient who worked at Chipotle, so I became very well versed in their menu options because they provide their staff with meals. I really appreciate the customizable nature of their offerings. My top pick would be a salad with guacamole, pinto beans, fajita vegetables, salsa as a veggie option. This one will provide a nice dose of fiber coming from the beans and fajita vegetables, and a good source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from the guacamole. The salsa as a dressing provides extra flavor and pop. If you want to make this a meat-eater version, add a half portion of barbacoa.
