About Protein Bar & Kitchen

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. Everybody loved it. The all-day power of protein grew in popularity. We all started eating, feeling, and moving better. It’s all good.
