We’ve already seen the arrival ofa brand-new Starbucks cold brew, anew protein at Chipotleand now a mini springtime menu at Wendy’s.The drive-thru chain is amping up its lemonade and chicken offerings with its new Blueberry Pomegranate Lemonade, Grilled Chicken Ranch Wrap and Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. Each item is bursting with fresh, light flavor for folks who need some sunshine as they swing through the to-go line.The 8 Healthiest Fast-Food Soups, According to DietitiansBlueberry Pomegranate LemonadeThe new lemonade just became the fourth twist on the restaurant’s standard all-natural lemonade—there’s already a classic version, plus pineapple-mango and strawberry. The fusion of blueberry, pomegranate and lemon will make for a tart-sweet beverage that’s sure to please fruit lovers. Here’s how the nutrition information breaks down for a smallBlueberry Pomegranate Lemonade:240 calories25 mg sodium61 g carbohydrate58 g sugar"The Blueberry Pomegranate Lemonade does fit under ourhealthy drinks nutrition guidelinefor calories, but it does have 58 grams of added sugar in a 12-ounce serving," says Annie Nguyen, M.A., RD,EatingWell’s Pinterest editor and one of our team’s dietitians. “As refreshing as it sounds, this may be a drink to treat yourself occasionally if you are watching your added sugar consumption.“To put that 58 g into context,the American Heart Association recommendsno more than 36 g of sugar each day for men and no more than 25 g for women. So a small cup of this fruity lemonade, while super-refreshing, might just send your blood sugar into a tizzy.Grilled Chicken Ranch WrapThe wrap is bundled up in a warm flour tortilla and stuffed full of grilled chicken, Cheddar cheese, romaine and a drizzle of creamy ranch dressing. Here’s how the nutrition information breaks down for aGrilled Chicken Ranch Wrap:420 calories16 g total fat5 g saturated fat1,170 mg sodium42 g carbohydrate2 g fiber2 g sugar27 g proteinThe folks at Wendy’s tout this wrap not as a tidy little snack, but a flavorful meal in and of itself. With 27 g of protein in a single wrap, this roll-up definitely lives up to the promise of being a filling meal. But folks aiming for a heart-healthy eating pattern may want to make this only an occasional meal on busy days. The sodium and saturated fat content are abovewhat we’d recommend for a heart-healthy meal(or a diabetes-friendly one).The 7 Best Vegetarian Fast-Food Options, According to DietitiansGrilled Chicken Cobb SaladThe new salad also promises to be a filling meal—just with a few more veggies. The salad begins with a pile of lettuce blend, which gets topped with grilled chicken, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, hard-boiled eggs, bacon and crispy fried onions. Like the wrap, the salad also comes with a drizzle of savory ranch dressing. Here’s how the nutrition information breaks down for a smallGrilled Chicken Cobb Salad:430 calories (or 670 calories with dressing)23 g total fat (or 49 g with dressing)8 g saturated fat (12.5 g with dressing)960 mg sodium (or 1,270 mg with dressing)16 g carbohydrate (or 18 g with dressing)3 g of fiber4 g sugar (or 5 g with dressing)36 g protein (or 37 g with dressing)Like the new chicken wrap, this salad is packed to the gills with protein, with more than twice the amount it would take for us tolabel the dish high-protein. That makes it a very appealing quick option for folks who need a recovery meal after doing strength workouts. But folks who are trying to eat heart-healthy and diabetes-friendly diets may want to approach this salad with a little caution. This bowl of greens is high in sodium and saturated fat even without dressing. (Our target for sodium content in a full meal is 750 mg of sodium—this salad contains 1,340 mg.)“The Cobb Salad and Grilled Chicken Wrap are great high-protein choices, packing a whopping 36 g and 27 g of protein respectively for the whole entrée,” Nguyen says. “However, these menu options are high in sodium, containing about 50% of therecommended 2,300 mg of sodiumyou should eat in a day (or 1,500 mg for those who have high blood pressure or heart disease). The salad and wrap are also a little higher in saturated fat if you are trying to followa heart-healthy diet. If you are looking for a quick high-protein meal, these meals are good to enjoy once in a while, especially if you are on the go.“The Bottom LineWendy’s new slate of menu items for spring includes Blueberry Pomegranate Lemonade, Grilled Chicken Ranch Wrap and Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. While all of these dishes are fun options to shake up your routine when you’re in a rush, we wouldn’t recommend making them a regular part of your diet—especially if you have diabetes or are concerned about your heart health. The entrées are high in saturated fat andsodium, two nutrients that can be tough on your heart when enjoyed in excess. The lemonade is also high in sugar, making it not ideal for a routine sip.But just about anything can be enjoyed in moderation, and that wisdom remains true for these menu items. Whether you snag a salad, sip a lemonade or devour a wrap, you’ll be sure to enjoy something affordable, quick and seasonal.Was this page helpful?Thanks for your feedback!Tell us why!OtherSubmit
