When you think of Sweetgreen, what's the first thing to come to mind? Probably salads, maybe bowls with rice or quinoa, or if you've been a long-time fan, perhaps soft serve for dessert.

Now, the fast casual chain is leaning into an emerging trend with its largest category expansion to date, introducing wraps to its national menu. After market testing the handheld food in New York, Los Angeles, and the Midwest, Sweetgreen has officially put four kinds of wraps on its national menu.

The flavors come wrapped in tortillas, which are made with extra-virgin olive oil and are free of seed oils and preservatives. Priced at under $15 each and delivering over 40 grams of protein, the wraps come in three classic flavors, plus a limited-time flavor through the better part of the summer.

There's the Classic Chicken Caesar, with antibiotic-free roasted chicken, parmesan crisps, shaved parmesan, garlic breadcrumbs, and chopped romaine, tossed in Caesar dressing with a squeeze of lemon. The Chicken Jalapeño Ranch feels more like a burrito with its antibiotic-free roasted chicken, warm white rice, corn salsa, white cheddar, and pickled onions, finished with spicy charred jalapeño ranch. The Cali Chicken Club comes with antibiotic-free roasted chicken, avocado, crumbled bacon, tomatoes, and chopped romaine, and is finished with garlic aioli.

Through August 11, customers will also be able to try the KBBQ Chicken wrap, which comes with antibiotic-free roasted chicken, white rice, napa cabbage slaw, apple kimchi sauce, and crispy onions, finished with KBBQ drizzle.

"We spent over a year making sure we got this right, from the custom extra virgin olive oil tortilla to the bold flavors in every bite. Wraps are a new way to experience Sweetgreen, built around a lineup of familiar favorites reimagined with the same high quality fresh ingredients we're known for," Nic Jammet, Chief Concept Officer and Sweetgreen co-Founder told Parade. "Wraps tackle everyday cravings so we wanted to pair that with a price point that allowed our customers to come back again and again. Wraps start at $10.45 at certain locations, with the full lineup priced below $15 when ordering in-store and for pickup on our app."

Sweetgreen isn't the only major chain leaning into wraps, as Jimmy Johns brought back its "most loved" wrap, the Thai Chicken Wrap, for the summer, and Popeyes added the formerly limited-time wrap onto its permanent menu, complete with a new flavor.
