In an effort to add more better-for-you options to its menu, Sonic has released a duo of Signature Slingers made with a veggie-packed patty. With the promise that customers can enjoy "all the flavor of a cheeseburger with none of the guilt," the new burgers are set to change the fast food game.
Sonic's new Signature Slingers are a better-for-you burger option featuring a unique mushroom-beef patty. By blending mushrooms with beef and seasonings, the patties give consumers an extra dose of veggies without the need to sacrifice the taste of a classic cheeseburger. Better yet, the burgers come in both a Classic and a Bacon Melt variety.
Clocking in at around 340 calories versus the more than 600 found in a regular Sonic cheeseburger, the new mushroom-beef patties are sure to be a hit with health-conscious consumers.
