You’ll Be Surprised That This Fast Food Chain Is One Of The Healthiest
Sure, we love Taco Bell for its Crunchwrap Supreme and Doritos Locos Tacos. But we have an even better reason to “Live Más” at Taco Bell. According to FoodBeast, Taco Bell remains at the top of the list of the healthiest fast food chains in America. And bring on the Chicken Quesadillas — we’re ready to eat healthy. Yeah. We bet you didn’t see that one coming, huh?
In 2016, Business Insider reported that Taco Bell was making some serious strides to become one of the healthiest fast food options on the market. Since 2012, Taco Bell has cut artificial ingredients, high fructose corn syrup, and palm oil out of their menu options. The company has also made the switch to cage-free eggs and has reduced sodium in all menu offerings by 15%.
The company also debuted a lower-calorie “Fresco” menu, a high-protein “Cantina” menu, and a vegetarian menu, which was officially certified by the American Vegetarian Association.
Furthermore, Taco Bell works with Missy Schaaphok, the company’s in-house nutritionist and dietitian, to ensure they’re doing the most to provide healthy options to their customers. “We just really encourage people to customize to however it fits their lifestyle,” Nelson said of the chain’s new menu options.

Of course, fast food (including Taco Bell) is not the healthiest option one can make at mealtime. However, if you can feel *a little* less guilty choosing Taco Bell over one of its competitors when you’re craving a drive-thru meal.
