Protein Bar & Kitchen was a leader in the high protein/low carb trend by offering filling, protein-rich and flavorful food in a fast-casual setting long before others. Today, there are 13 in Chicago, four in and around Denver and two in Washington D.C.
Bowls and "bar-itos" feature an organic quinoa blend in a bowl or grilled low-carb tortilla (swap quinoa for riced cauliflower and 75% fewer carbs), then chose your protein - chicken, steak or tofu done Korean, Mexican or ranch style. The new Bowl30 mixes all-natural chicken, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, kale, almonds, spinach and EVOO. The Spinach Pesto Bowl is a flavor powerhouse. Stop by for breakfast to enjoy eggs scrambled with grass-fed ghee and ingredients like turkey bacon, cheddar, steak, black beans, salsa, kale, avocado and chipotle yogurt.
Most of the items on the menu are gluten free or can be made gluten free.
