PMA On Tour: The Protein Bar in Chicago

2/13/2013

Um... this place is awesome. It is called The Protein Bar. They make burritos and salads for those of us with different eating lifestyles. Low in carb, High protein, lots of great choices.

I got a Bar-rito. As described by their menu....

Ivy Bar-rito (grilled) All-natural chicken, organic quinoa, spinach, basil pesto, and shredded parmesan cheese
531 calories, 23 g fat, 7 g saturated fat, 1364 mg sodium, 56 g carbohydrates, 16 g fiber, 3 g sugar, 35 g protein

So yummy, and tasty. It was great to eat something and not feel awful afterwards for what I ordered. Lots of fiber. I know because I felt its effects in a positive way. I want to go back for breakfast.

I also just tried Protein Bar for the first time this week, as I am new to healthy eating, and had the original Bar-rito. It was one of the WORST things I have ever eaten! It tasted like sawdust and bean paste wrapped in cardboard. It managed to choke down about a third of it, hoping it would get better further in, but finally I had to toss it. I ordered two hard-boiled eggs and was able to finish my lunch. Maybe it was just that particular item, but it certainly turned me off to the place. I have co-workers who love it, though.

Haha, I certainly can see how this place is not for everyone. I guess I had the concerns that it could taste that way when I went, which is why I choose the type of Bar-rito I did. It seemed like it would have lots of flavor on it and mine did, but I understand your feelings. It's not quite like the real thing.
