Review of Burger King's new menu- with $25 BK Crown Card giveaway!

My kids are big fans of french fries and toys from kids' meals, so they ask often to go out for fast food.  And they generally are of the opinions that we say yes to this request not often enough.  So they were very happy last week after church when they found out that we were going to Burger King for lunch! This outing was thanks to MyBlogSpark and Burger King, who provided me a $25 gift card to check out Burger King's new menu. Here's the scoop on that, from some information provided to me by MyBlogSpark:

New Crispy Chicken Strips at BURGER KING^® are made with white meat tenderloin chicken, marinated and lightly battered in seasoned home-style breading. The new Crispy Chicken Strips are perfect for dipping in one of eight BK^® classic or bold new sauces and are available in 3 or 5 piece servings
New Real Fruit Smoothies at BURGER KING^® are offered in 12, 16, and 20oz. servings, and are made fresh to order with real fruit, low-fat yogurt and juices blended together. Each smoothie provides a full serving of fruit and is offered in the following varieties:

• Tropical Mango

Rich and smooth Frappés at BURGER KING^® are made to order and provide the perfect combination of sweet Mocha or Caramel flavors, a hint coffee and ice. Offered in 12, 16, and 20oz. servings, frappes are available in the following varieties:

• Mocha Frappé ~ The perfect combination of sweet flavor, a hint of coffee and ice all topped with whipped topping and a swirl of fudge
• Caramel Frappé ~ The perfect combination of sweet flavor, a hint of coffee and ice all topped with whipped topping and a swirl of caramel

I ordered the Chicken, Cranberry and Apple Garden Fresh Salad- it was a really nice combination of flavors and textures and the perfect size for a filling lunch.  The kids enjoyed a kids' meal and also the Crispy Chicken Strips and both were a hit. My husband decided to go with the Ranch Crispy Chicken Snack Wrap (since he was also munching on our food). He thought it was cooked well, but he felt like it needed a bit more sauce and ended up adding some ranch dressing that came with my salad. And we rounded things out with a Strawberry Banana smoothie- the perfect end to the meal.

All in all, I'm really pleased with these additions to Burger King's menu, and we will definitely be returning again.
