Step Aside McDonald's—Burger King Is Releasing 3 New Snack Wraps

Even folks who rarely swing through a fast-food drive-thru may recall those McDonald's snack wraps of yesteryear—steamed tortillas wrapped around a crispy or grilled piece of chicken with lettuce, shredded cheese and sauce. Though those classic menu items were discontinued back in 2016, there's good news on the horizon for snack-wrap mourners: Burger King is releasing their own version.

On August 14, Burger King will launch three new Royal Crispy Chicken Wraps, each of which includes a piece of crispy white-meat chicken, tomato and lettuce in a soft flour tortilla. Customers can choose from the classic wrap, the spicy or the honey mustard. BK's chief marketing officer says each wrap is like a "snack-sized" version of the popular Royal Crispy Chicken sandwich, which the restaurant launched last year.

The big difference between a BK wrap and a McDonald's wrap is the lack of cheese and the inclusion of tomato in the Burger King version. But as long as you aren't a snack-wrap purist, we have a feeling you'll be able to get past the change. And the best thing about the Burger King item might just be the price point. Each of the wraps will sell for just $2.99, which is a pretty solid deal—especially when you consider that these snack wraps have enough protein to keep you full till your next meal.

Each snack wrap contains 15 grams of protein, and by our standards, that's enough to label a full meal high-protein. Like fiber, protein can help you feel full and satisfied longer after a meal (or a snack wrap). It can also help you build muscle, and it supports your bone health and digestion. If you're not getting enough protein in a given day, a high-protein snack can help you reap those benefits.
