Chipotle's Lifestyle Bowls feature existing ingredients from the restaurant, but they make the ordering process easier for health-conscious customers.
- In March, $4 announced it was adding two new burrito bowls for $4 and $4 customers.
- The vegan and vegetarian bowls $4 to the restaurant's diet-friendly line of $4, which were launched in early 2019 to cater to customers abiding by popular diets.
- The Lifestyle Bowls line consists of six burrito or salad bowls. According to the company, the bowls and their default ingredients are:
- Double $4 Bowl: White rice, black beans, chicken (full portion), steak (full portion), red salsa, romaine lettuce, and sour cream
- $4: Sofritas, brown rice, black beans, tomato salsa, roasted chili-corn salsa, and romaine lettuce
- $4: Fajita veggies, brown rice, pinto beans, guacamole, tomato salsa, roasted chili-corn salsa, and sour cream
- $4 Salad Bowl: Romaine lettuce, barbacoa, fajita veggies, green salsa, and guacamole
- $4 Salad Bowl: Romaine lettuce, carnitas, fajita veggies, tomato salsa, and guacamole
- $4 Salad Bowl: Romaine lettuce, carnitas, red salsa, cheese, and guacamole
- The purpose of the chain's new line of bowls is to take the guesswork out of ordering meals $4
- There's nothing new in any of the dishes, since the bowls consist of existing ingredients, but we taste-tested all six of Chipotle's Lifestyle Bowls to see what each one offers, how they compare, and whether they live up to their mission.
- Each Lifestyle Bowl cost around $12 or $13, except for the vegan and vegetarian options, which were under $9.
- While each bowl holds merit for offering customers entrees aligned with their respective diets, we found the Keto Bowl stood out for its perfect combination of carnitas, cheese, and guacamole.
- We also found one caveat when it comes to ordering these bowls.
- Here's how they all compare.
