What to Order This Week: Wendy's

Wendy's may have updated their logo, but that's not the only change this fast food restaurant chain has made. The brand once best-known for their square burgers has gone fresh and healthy, lightening up their menus with new salad entrees and delicious, multigrain flatbreads. Oh, did you know that Wendy's also launched a new mobile app? It also has new menu innovations including the addition of premium salad entrees and fresh flatbreads. Plus, Wendy's mobile nutrition app (available at the iTunes store and Google Play) makes it easier than ever to personalize your meal based on your desired number of calories -- regardless of whether you want a Frosty or a Hamburger Jr. But, I'm inclined to recommend some of the freshest, newest meals on Wendy's menu.

Apple Pecan Chicken Salad: A blend of fresh lettuce and spring mix salad greens, topped with real blue cheese crumbles, U.S. grown, hand-picked Granny Smith and sweet red apple pieces, roasted pecans, cayenne pepper, dried Ocean Spray cranberries and warm grilled chicken. This salad comes with all natural dressing, and it's entree-sized portion comes in at 570 calories and provides a whopping 37 grams of protein and 6 grams of filling fiber.Berry Almond Chicken Salad: Featuring fresh summer produce, Wendy's Berry Almond Chicken Salad -- which won't be in stores till June and will only be around for the season --  is packed with plump, tangy blueberries and hand-cut California strawberries atop a blend of 11 kinds of field greens. A warm grilled chicken breast, shredded Asiago cheese and California almonds roasted with sea salt round out this robust salad. It's topped with a fat-free raspberry vinaigrette dressing. An entree-sized portion of this flavorful salad supplies three servings of vegetables and one serving of fruit and has 360 calories, while a half-size portion provides two servings of vegetables and a half serving of fruit at 230 calories (but both counts are without dressing).Smoky Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Flatbread: Grilled, all-white meat chicken breast, spring mix, tomatoes and smoky honey mustard sauce are all wrapped up in a five-grain toasted flatbread makes for an amazing sammy. This flatbread is full of flavor yet comes in at just 370 calories and provides 22 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. (Confession: It was also the office's favorite.)
