Chick-fil-A announced that beginning Monday customers can order the chain's first organic menu option, Honest Kids' Appley Ever After juice drink, as part of the Chick-fil-A Kid's Meal in restaurants nationwide. Appley Ever After is available in 6-ounce juice boxes and is sweetened only with organic fruit juice, giving it half the sugar of the leading kids' juice drink. One box contains 100 percent of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C, has no added color, is USDA Certified Organic, gluten-free, kosher and has no GMOs, according to a company press release.. It will be available as a beverage option with the Kid's Meal at no extra charge, in addition to low-fat regular or chocolate milk and fresh-squeezed lemonade.

"We are eager to launch our first organic menu item, and we are even more excited that it will be available at no extra charge in our Kid's Meals," said Matt Abercrombie, senior consultant of menu development for beverages and breakfast for Chick-fil-A. "Our customers have been asking for low calorie options and we are making concerted efforts to add more healthy and sustainable offerings to our menu. Appley Ever After is an organic juice drink that parents should feel good about ordering for their kids."
