EBX: Good to your stomach, your wallet…and your heart.

Hola amigos and Happy Valentines Day!

To love and be loved. . . it is the highest priority, neck and neck with food and shelter, for us pleasure seeking beings existing on this sometimes unforgiving Earth. On the day that celebrates the love we share for one another, I saw it fit to write a post about how much we love our customers. Our love for our customers is what drives us to continually perfect our food, to use quality ingredients, to keep our prices fair relative to the economy, and to offer heart-healthy alternatives.

When we think love, we think hearts. Ever since the days of yonder, patiently cutting out pink and red hearts in middle school and exchanging valentines with your secret sweet hearts, we’ve always associated hearts & love. And while our hearts are not responsible for the emotion we fondly call love (the brain is) – we love to keep our hearts and our customer’s hearts healthy.

February is Heart Month, a month dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease. There are many preventitive measures one can take to reduce the threat of heart disease like diet and exercise, but I bet you didn’t think that eating an EBX burrito was one of them!

There are many fiber-packed options that have been proven to reduce the risk of heart disease. We offer some of these options on all our menu offerings, 7 of which make WebMD’s top 25 heart healthy foods. Click to read health benefits:

Black beans

Brown rice

Whole wheat tortillas

Tofu

Broccoli

Red bell peppers

Tomatoes

How to order: When ordering any burrito or meal that involves rice or beans, we always give our customers the option of black beans and brown rice, free of charge. Throw some pico de gallo in the mix. Upgrade to a whole wheat tortilla for $0.40. Our vegetable burritos are a scrumptious combination of healthy veggies. Instead of meat, try tofu.
