In an effort to help make healthier fast food more accessible, Energy Kitchen has reduced the prices of its main menu items, including burgers, wraps and entrees, by more than 10 percent. In addition to this price reduction, which went into effect January 1, 2012, Energy Kitchen will introduce "Energize Meals" - value meal combinations featuring a great-tasting burger or wrap, baked fries and a zero calorie beverage - for just $9.99.
"Many times, people's decision to grab a high calorie burger, greasy fries and a sugar laden beverage is a function of lack of willpower or limited choices, but nowadays affordability is a major factor," said Mike Repole, chairman of Energy Kitchen and co-founder of Vitaminwater. "By lowering prices, Energy Kitchen is helping make healthy food more affordable without sacrificing taste. And, during a time that many fast food restaurants are raising prices to boost short term profits and accommodate commodity inflation, I'm proud to give people one more reason to choose Energy Kitchen as we focus more on long-term consumer health than short term profitability." Energy Kitchen's menu boasts items that are all under 500 calories and are grilled, baked or steamed - never fried - and offers only zero-calorie beverages. In addition to burgers made from lean sirloin, bison, turkey and chicken, entrees (including grilled salmon and turkey meatloaf), baked fries, smoothies made with non-fat yogurt, steamed vegetables, mashed sweet potatoes and salads round out the menu.
