Protein Bar & Kitchen Menu

In 2009, we opened our doors at a very small Chicago storefront with a very big idea. Instead of fast food, we’d serve fast fuel: shakes that were delicious, nutritious, and protein-packed.
It was a success from the start but quickly became something even bigger… a game changer. We saw what was happening and got excited. Let’s keep going. So we discovered quinoa and expanded the menu to serve a full selection of high-protein salads, wraps, and bowls customizable for all diets. Every body loved it. The all-day power of protein grew in popularity. We all started eating, feeling and moving better. It’s all good.

All these years and successes later, we never forget where we came from.

Health-minded local chain for smoothies, salads, burritos & more in an upscale fast-food format. Based on 338 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.2 stars. Price $

This place is great if you track macros, all the macros for each item are listed out and the food is great. They have protein shakes and juice as well. I had the kale caesar salad because it was recommended and it was great (pictured). Reasonably priced and quick service. Friendly staff and clean place.

Just ordered online and picked up. Atmosphere was meh, and there was only one person behind the counter. Although they were friendly, the smoothie and breakfast bowl we got was pretty tasteless. Just feel as if they invested a little time in the flavor of their bowl it could be a pretty decent spot.

Stopped by for a quick, healthy breakfast while visiting Chicago. It was early in the morning and there was not a line. Wanted to stay away from the parfaits, so ordered a scramble. They quickly made it and it was ready within 5 minutes. It was freshly made and put together well. It had eggs, asparagus, almonds, and pumpkin seeds. Serving size was good for a light breakfast. Was able to grab a seat and some water while eating the scramble. Good place to come for a quick light breakfast.

I placed my order online and it was literally ready in 5 minutes. They kept it cold and by the time I sat down to eat it, it was perfect. I got the acai bowl and it was yummy. Quick friendly service.

On my wandering through Chicago’s Millennium Park on a hot day, I found myself wanting a light healthy lunch that wouldn’t weigh me down. Protein Bar is a short walk from Millennium Park, and offers various bowls, salads, and wraps with healthy and vegetarian options as well as a menu that clearly marks what has gluten.
