Chick-fil-A Announces Nutritious and Gluten Free Kids Meals
Chick-fil-A Announces Nutritious and Gluten Free Kids Meals. I have never been more excited! My favorite fast food chain Chick-fil-A has announced that they are going to be offering a new Kid’s Meal that is better for our kids! Shelley and I are always looking for healthy options for our kids and Chick-fil-A has always been top on our list of choices.
Chick-fil-A Gluten Free Kids Meals:
It comes with the introduction of Grilled Nuggets!!! I truly hope this is something we will see available on the adult menu too! This is a huge revelation for all of us who are Gluten Free!
It comes with a choice of either 4-count nuggets (80 calories, 1g fat); 6-count nuggets (110 calories, 1.5g fat) and 100 percent all-breast meat chicken (not pre-formed meat)
Also, with the addition of all-natural Buddy Fruits® Pure Blended Fruit to Go applesauce (seriously my personal favorite snack and I know it was designed for kids, but it is that good and so convenient. It is 60 calories, 0 grams of fat and equals one serving of fruit. Gluten free and contains 100 percent pure fruit.
Also, with an improved beverage option. The chain is changing its children’s beverage line to only feature one percent milk, 100 percent apple juice, its signature freshly squeezed lemonade, and water as drink choices.
The Grilled Nuggets (4-count), Fruit Cup and one-percent milk Kid’s Meal option contains only 210 calories and 3 grams of fat – reflecting an 86 percent cut in fat grams and a 56 percent calorie reduction compared to its previous offerings!
Additional offerings for gluten intolerant kids includes the Grilled Nuggets – a gluten-free entrée option and the Fruit Cup and Buddy Fruits® applesauce – two gluten-free side item options!
As you know I am a raving fan but since I was diagnosed as a Celiac, I have not eaten at Chick-fil-A (sad I know) so I am really excited about this new announcement!

Do you know if these will be peanut free as well? I know they use peanut oil to cook but this article says they are grilled….so I am hoping they will be peanut free as well
They are peanut free!
Sounds good but the proof is with the youngins..
So true, but this Mom is happy 🙂
I also have Celiac (I found out about 5 years ago). Our Chick-fil-A
has a dedicated french fry fryer so I am able to eat their waffle fries. I don’t know if you’ve checked your’s but if you like waffle fries and crave fast food fries they’re really good. I’m glad to see that they are going to offer a gluten free kids meal! Now, I’ll be able to eat with my kids!
Yes, mine has a dedicated fryer too! The grilled nuggets are great! I had them today and you can order them as an 8 count.
The grilled nuggets aren’t on the grown up menu, but you can ask for them instead of the fried ones with the nugget combo. I do all the time!
I have been eating at Chick-fil-a for a while, the fries are gluten free if they have a dedicated fryer, which most do. I am happy to see the grilled nuggets recently introduced, but my little one with gluten intolerance will not eat applesauce whatsoever. Now, if they started offering Udi’s Gluten Free Whole grain buns for their grilled chicken sandwich, I would be a happy girl!
Just found out last week if you ask they will grill strips or nugget.
