Chick-fil-A Adds a Healthy Dose of Fiber to its Breakfast Menu, Try it for Free

Local breakfast lovers who are on-the-go now have a new option when it comes to starting the day off with a healthy meal.

Recognizing the importance of a balanced breakfast,  recently added Multigrain Oatmeal as a new breakfast menu option for its health-conscious customers in its restaurants nationwide.

Starting at $2.49, Chick-fil-A’s wholesome oatmeal is served as a entrée in an 8 oz. bowl or can be purchased as part of a Chick-fil-A Breakfast Meal, which includes a small coffee and medium fruit cup, starting at $5.65.

“Our customers have made it clear that they would like to have healthier alternatives for breakfast.” said Woody Faulk, Chick-fil-A’s vice president of brand strategy and design, who oversees the chain’s menu strategy. “Over the past few years we have tried to respond to those requests by diversifying our menu with healthier options, such as the Yogurt Parfait we introduced last year, and our Fruit Cup and Multigrain Bagel we added a few years ago."

Unlike other quick-serve food chains, who offer “instant oatmeal,” Chick-fil-A’s Multigrain Oatmeal is slowly simmered in kettles to retain the nutritional value naturally found in oats. The mixture consists of steel-cut oats, rolled oats, flax, buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour. Customers can choose one of three toppings, including cinnamon brown sugar, roasted mixed nuts (almonds, pecans and walnuts) or a dried fruit blend (cranberries, blueberries, golden raisins and cherries). A serving of oatmeal contains 120 calories and 2.5 grams of fat without toppings and up to 290 calories and 11 grams of fat with the addition of toppings, all with no trans fat.

"Our menu is all about choices – we offer our signature Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit for the more hearty appetite to the Cinnamon Cluster for those craving something sweet in the morning to the health-minded customer who now has an additional choice of our slow-cooked oatmeal,” Faulk said, adding that the oatmeal addition is a direct result of feedback the restaurant has received from nutrition-minded customers.
