I love Detroit, but a place like this makes me want to move to Chicago. My friends and I ended up here for lunch on St. Patty's day because we didn't want to wait in line at the bars. All three of us are health-conscious, and I'm a vegetarian, and this place was pretty much a dream come true for us. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, nutrition information clearly displayed, and juices that won't break your calorie budget. If I lived in the city, I'd have a difficulty time not eating here at least multiple times a week. read more

Whoever created this place is a genius. It's what food should be: Delicious, healthy, fast and affordable. I eat breakfast here after personal training. The "Pancake in a Bowl" oatmeal is a delicious treat at a very reasonable calorie count. I love Protein Bar. Everything about it is so right, you want to bite the wall. read more

I've been to several Protein Bars this week on my trip to Chicago. I love their Beetbox and Greenberry raw juices. I really wish they would offer more vegan options, especially at breakfast. Quick service, friendly staff, and clean. Highly recommend if you are looking for great raw juice. This location has loading zone "parking" out front and I was in and out in under 10 minutes. read more

I tried Protein Bar for the first time this past week and boy, have I been missing out! I ordered the Wrigley Peeled which was a mix of chocolate protein, peanut butter and banana (aka the perfect combo). Not only was the shake really tasty, the staff was friendly and the service was quick. If you haven't been yet, definitely give Protein Bar a try! read more

Interesting lunch concept. I recently started working downtown and went here with a friend. I liked that everything was listed with nutritional info. I had the chopped chop house salad and overall liked it. Perhaps it could use a little more seasoning with the dressing, but overall it was fresh, hearty and was a good price. I will be back read more

I enjoy a nice healthy lunch and boy is this the place to get it. I'm kind of obsessed with fiber. I'm always on a mission to get at least 25g in a day. That's how i stay thin even though I'm always eating out! If you like healthy, fiber-filled food this is the perfect spot. My husband had the buffalo bar-rito (which he loved) and the fruit loop'd smoothie (which was just ok). I had the BBQ chicken salad (which was yummy!) and A bottle of water. OverAll, we really enjoyed our food and will definitely be back. read more

Healthy food that's not disgusting. I heart this place. Lunch time of course is crowded but the lines move quickly. Will definitely return. read more

The quinoa chili is great for these cold Chicago days. There's a lot of menu items to try, but it's a little pricey to come here often. I'll definitely be back for that chili though. read more

The protein bar makes me happy. Always helpful service with a smile, easy to get in and out of. Great for a quick meal or juice pick me up. Reasonable prices for Chi. read more

Protein Bar is AWESOME! Love that veggie chili! Great service, overall vibe, and food :) A+

Just wanted to add that the buffalo chicken wrap (I sub cheddar, because I hate blue cheese), might be my new fave thing.

I love this concept! If there were Protein Bar locations in California I would undoubtedly be a regular customer. After several days of eating nothing but oatmeal, rice cakes, Cheeze-Its and hard boiled eggs while staying in Morris, IL, my body was craving fruits and vegetables. I was considering a raw juice (the one with beets) but thought it might not be filling enough, so I opted for the Froot-Loop'd smoothie made with vanilla protein powder, almond milk, egg protein, blueberries, banana, and a Chia seed boost. 12 ounces of awesomeness! I felt less sickly and more energized almost as soon as I started drinking it. The smoothies at Protein Bar are slightly more expensive than those at Jamba Juice, but they are far more satiating. Love, love, love. read more

If you're in the mood for healthy, wholesome food, this is the place to find it. The Sears Sucker (I got it with Chia seeds and non-fat Greek yogurt) was quite literally the best smoothie I have ever, ever had. read more

PROTEIIIIIN!!! A meathead's dream come true. High protein and low calorie/fat/sugar food and best of all, the goods don't taste like dirt. They offer breakfast, lunch, and snack options in the form of tasty shakes. The traffic that Protein Bar gets during lunch speaks for itself. They have a variety of things to choose from: salads, bowls, and "barittos". Vegans can rejoice too with many options to choose from the diverse menu. I wish I could eat here for lunch everyday. In the meantime, I'll remember to take my 5pm protein shake to avoid breaking the bank. read more

We were here for breakfast, and I enjoyed the quinoa with bananas and walnuts. It was supposed to come with almond milk, but it didn't taste like it had any on it. The amount was huge, and my companion had bananas and almonds and loved hers as well. read more

Organic Healthy and tasty. The Pesto bowl was the perfect flavor and portion for breakfast. Would give it 5 starts but I only was there once and I live far... like New Jersey far. read more

This is my favorite Protein Bar location in Chicago. Solid sized wraps, fresh juices, tasty salads and soups, it's great to find a place that you can leave feeling good that also tastes good. I appreciate how transparent they are about their ingredients and nutritional value of the food and how they can easily accomodate people who are lactose intolerant like yours truly. Worth a try, my favorites are the Beetbox juice, the Supervegan salad, and the Guac and roll and Chili burritos. read more

I was visiting Chicago and we stopped at Protein Bar for a quick lunch. It is amazing! I strongly suggest that everyone try the Healthy Parm - a bowl filled with quinoa, grilled chicken, marinara sauce, and Parmesan cheese. The bowl is only 341 calories and it is possibly one of the best lunches I have ever had. If Protein Bar was in Boston, I would eat lunch here every day! read more

The shakes here are pretty good, and I always feel like my skin and colon are glowingly happy after a green kale mixer. But the long lines before, during and after lunch deter me from visiting often. Also, the price is a little ridiculous so it's difficult to rationalize spending so much on liquefied lunch when I know I'll do that in the nursing home in 20 years (prematurely) because I didn't eat here often enough. read more

Someone needs manage the employees to move faster. Five minutes for a drink its insane.

Finally! Somewhere I can go and know that absolutely anything I order is good for me. Today was my first visit and I got the Memphis Salad. It was a little spicier than I expected, but delicious and FILLING. The chicken was great, the quinoa an added delight, and the veggies fresh and crunchy. My husband had a Buffalo Bar-rito and the bite I took was pretty awesome, too. Next time, I'll try their smoothies. read more

Stopped here for breakfast. It is a nice healthy choice to start the day. They do a nice job of making healthy still have some flavor!

After running our 5k this am and walking around the city we decided to try the Protein Bar. Excellent choice to help us refuel after a run. The menu is written on the wall as you walk in the the nutritional values are listed below each menu item. I loved the option of having our breakfast scramble in a bowl or whole wheat wrap. Breakfast is served until 10 so that's good to know in case you were wanting something with meat. All meat dishes are served after breakfast. Healthy menu options with items high in protein count that are so filling. This place is great for a quick bite to eat that will tie you over until later in the day. Conveniently located across from the gym and yoga studio it is sure to attract all the health enthusiasts and those simply wanting to go the healthy route. Lots of great eats here in Chicago! read more

Protein Bar & Kitchen - Egg white wrap - Vegan Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Protein salad with quinoa and avocado was good. Quick and easy for lunch. Clean restaurant. Good service.

Healthy food options, gives nutrition facts and macros in each dish, and food comes out very fast. Super clean inside. Would definitely recommend and go back to! read more

Everyone at my office eats it constantly.. I had it for the first time. Really happy with my food. Staff was SUPER nice and accommodating considering the crazy afternoon lunch crowd. I'm sure I'll be back. read more

I love this place! Great healthy food and smoothie's can't believe I can have organic quinoa and brown rice burrito as a fast cheap option for lunch The staff is always amazing as well. read more

I love it here. Besides the crazy long line at lunch, this place is amazing. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They also sell booze which is kinda funny for a health food place (not that alcohol is bad for you, but seeing a bottle of wine next to the option of fermented mushroom juice a.k.a kombucha juice is exciting/amusing to me). I'm lactose intolerant, but not vegan/vegetarian and it's great that they have vegan options, so I can get my chicken bowl with vegan cheese! Guilt free food, win win. read more

Stopped in for late lunch after a long day and was pleased with the yummy and super healthy options. I tried the pesto chicken quinoa bowl and the Hi 5 smoothie. Very nice spot. Will definitely be returning to check out more of their smoothies! read more

I was so happy to discover this place when it first opened. I was intimidated a first because everyone in line was fit and lean. But I really wanted to try it so I did. I was hooked immediately and actually ate there everyday for a week in a row. I always get the chicken parmesan bowl and the ivy burrito. I have also had the red line shake. I still come periodically but the menu has become stale to me. Otherwise clean and affordable. read more

Protein bar is a great place to get healthy protein meals! They have pretty good and feeling healthy protein smoothies as well! Quick and convenient! It's usually busy during peak hours, but the line moves fast! read more

I go to school around the corner it's hard to find veg food in the neighborhood unless you hit up a grocery store....UNTIL NOW! Great menu - multiple veg items you don't have to create by adding/subtracting things. Really nice staff, and I'm also excited about the buy 10 get 1 free punch card! read more

My favorite place to eat in Chicago. High protein, high fiber, delicious, with the calorie and protein counts right up on the wall for everyone to see. For anyone that's a gym nut, this is where you should be eating several times per month. Even the desserts are on the lower calorie/high protein side. The shakes are also awesome, and to top things off the service and attitude of the staff are always top notch. They do little things to create a favorable environment; for instance, rather than making you ask for a glass of tap water if you don't want to purchase a drink, they put out a cooler with lemon and mint in the water with plastic cups beside it. Just a heads up, if you go between 12 and 1, you WILL be stuck in a long line, sometimes out the door, from the business lunch rush. The surrounding professionals flock here daily. The spinach and pesto bowl with chicken is a personal favorite, and if I'm there for lunch I usually pick up a chilled burrito to take home for dinner. The coconut chocolate chip bars are awesome for desserts too if you want to treat yourself without feeling too guilty. My only complaint about them is that they don't have more locations! Open up some stuff more towards Wrigleyville/Lakeview and down by UIC please!! read more

The food here is quite delicious especially considering that you get to go out to eat for under 500 calories in most menu cases. I had the Buffalo Chicken Barrito on my first visit which was tasty and filling. On my second visit, I had the Chop Salad which was delicious, but not that filling. If I were to go the salad route again, I'd look for one with quinoa in/on it for the fill. The true delicacy here is the buffalo (or was it ostrich...?) jerky. They sell it as a snack right next to the register and while it was an afterthought, it kinda stole the show. Weird, I know. I wouldn't call this place a bargain, but it is relative, cost-wise, to the other lunch spots in the area and without the side effects (i.e. muffin top, fat arse). I'll keep going here. If you haven't, you should probably give it a shot. read more

If I had an endless amount of money, I would spend it all here. After reading the warnings about the lunch time rush, I ordered food online and was able to bypass the line completely(you'll thank me later for this). My goal is to never order the same thing twice because their menu is so extensive and everything on it sounds incredible. Last week I tried the quinoa chili and was definitely apprehensive about the dollop of yogurt they put on top but it truly made my meal that much better and I have since stolen the idea for when I cook at home. It's amazing how everything can be so filling and have so few calories at the same time. Protein Bar really has their act together and I cannot even explain how excited I was when I found out they are opening a new location in my building. Seriously, can it open already?!? Next on my list of things to try is one of their raw juices. Having read so many great things about them I can't believe I've waited this long to venture to that area of the menu. Anyways long story short, I can't say enough good things about protein bar. That's how good it is. read more

Great vegan chili! Love the quinuoa in it! Fun cashier!

Love this place! Wish we had these in metro Detroit, so hard to find healthy food in Detroit. I love the quinoa choices and the wraps are great. Good quality and great taste. Price is right too. read more

I've been to my fair share of smoothie bars, but this one has quite the offering. I really appreciated the service I got, and the smoothie was pretty tasty, as well. You're doing something right, Protein Bar. Good vibes, and it is so rare to come across a smoothie place that will actually tell you the calories these days. Well played. read more

Very Poor service. Food is not great and no hot tea. There's much better food and service one block away at Life Kitchen.

Awesome wraps. Great shakes/juice. Suitable for both vegans and meat eaters. A great option to mix it up. Efficient. Friendly. You can't go wrong. read more
