Veggie BowlVegan

What Chipotle says it is

Chipotle’s printed nutrition sheet describes a bowl as: “Just like a burrito, but served in a bowl with no tortilla.” The sheet adds, for the veggie option: “Includes our fresh guacamole and your choice of beans.” That is why guacamole is marked included on every build on this page rather than priced.

The ordering menu tags the listing “Includes Guacamole”. The statement for the veggie option names one ingredient: Red Onion.

On 25 September 2026 the Veggie Bowl was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC. That makes it a core item, on every open menu read. One of those menus marked it unavailable on the read day.

Why the listing and the build differ

The ordering menu lists the Veggie Bowl at zero calories. The zero is the brand’s own figure for an option with no protein of its own: the parts chosen on the line carry every calorie, so the listing has nothing to count until they are chosen. This site prints the zero as what it is and sums the parts instead.

The classic build on this page comes to 840 calories: Veggie (fajita veggies and guacamole) (no calories), Cilantro-Lime White Rice (210 calories), Black Beans (130 calories), Fresh Tomato Salsa (25 calories), Monterey Jack Cheese (110 calories), Sour Cream (110 calories), Romaine Lettuce (5 calories), Fajita Veggies (20 calories) and Guacamole (230 calories). The other reference builds: light at 280 calories and loaded at 1,035 calories. Chipotle’s printed sheet gives a built bowl as 420 to 910 calories; the classic build sits inside that range.

Protein runs 23 g across the classic build, 2.7 g per 100 calories, and sodium 1,850 mg, 80 percent of the 2,300 mg the FDA uses as the daily value. Press any part in the build above and the bars redraw from that part’s own record.

What the price buys

A median of $9.80 for pickup, from a low of $8.45 to a high of $12.10 at the 368 restaurants that listed it, read on 25 September 2026. The same menus carry Chipotle’s own delivery price: $12.75 at the median, 30.1 percent above pickup, before the service fees the checkout adds. Among the seven bowls on the board it is the cheapest at the median, level with Chicken Bowl and Sofritas Bowl; the dearest is the Steak Bowl at $11.80. It is priced level with the chicken version at the median.

The cheapest state median on the read date was Kansas at $9.18, the dearest New York at $11.15. A state median stands on eight restaurants at most, so one dear or cheap restaurant moves it; the national range is the safer figure. Pick a state at the top of the page and every price on this site prints that state’s median.

The priced add-ons on a bowl: Queso Blanco $1.70 at the median ($1.40 to $1.80, 368 restaurants) and Cilantro Lime Sauce $1.00 at the median ($1.00 to $1.00, 368 restaurants). Guacamole is included on this order at no charge, by the brand’s own menu; queso blanco is still priced. So the classic build on this page stands at $9.80 and the loaded build at $11.50, the entree plus $1.70 of add-ons at the national medians.

The figures against a day

The classic build is 42 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 80 percent of the sodium daily value. Carbohydrate runs 83 g with 17 g of fiber (61 percent of the 28 g daily value); fat 44.5 g, of which 16 g saturated.

Allergens and diets on this order

The chart has no row for Veggie (fajita veggies and guacamole) yet; the nutrition calculator tags it vegetarian, vegan, paleo and keto. The classic build on this page contains dairy, by the rows for its parts; it is vegetarian but not vegan (Monterey Jack Cheese rules vegan out).

On the vegan question the chart says: “Our Sofritas is vegan and vegetarian approved. Vegans should avoid our meats, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, queso, sour cream, and chipotle-honey vinaigrette. Our tortillas, vegetables, rice, beans, salsas, chips and guacamole, are vegetarian and vegan.” Every row on the chart carries the same two cautions: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.” “Although we do not use eggs, mustard, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, shellfish, or fish as ingredients in our food, Chipotle cannot guarantee the complete absence of these allergens in its restaurants.”

Where else the protein turns up

The same protein in the other formats: Veggie Burrito at $9.80, Veggie Salad at $9.80 and Veggie Tacos (3) at $9.80; the price does not move with the format.
