New Year, same fast food cravings. Luckily for those eager to sneak a few extra greens into their meals, Chipotle Mexican Grill is on board.
Today, the international chain announced it is kicking off 2023 with a new lineup of Lifestyle Bowls. Designed to cater to contemporary wellness habits, bowls will be available as digital exclusives across the U.S. and in Canada and are designed to fit the dining habits of Gen Z and Millennial consumers.
According to a fall 2022 trend report published in YPulse, the recent definition of health has shifted away from diet culture. Millennial and Gen Z consumers lean towards individualized, holistic interpretations of wellness. 76% of 13 to 39-year-olds agree wellness can be anything that makes you feel good, and 90% of young people believe wellness looks different for everyone.
