For those desperately in need of a protein-packed snack or for those of you who are obsessed with eating breakfast foods at times other than breakfast, look no farther than the Protein Bar! No, I’m not talking about those little, square, packaged goods at grocery store that body-builders seem to like, I’m talking about a fully-stocked place full of fruit, soymilk, protein powder, and peanut butter as far as the eye can see. The Protein Bar opened up in the heart of the Loop in late May and it features customizable, protein-filled treats to power you through the day. If you want a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries, strawberry soy protein, agave nectar, and cinnamon, you got it! If you’ve got a hankering for a tall smoothie with chocolate protein, bananas, almond milk, and a shot of wheatgrass, it’s yours! With nine types of protein, four types of milk, and tons of healthy mix-ins, the nutritious possibilities at the Protein Bar are endless. They’ve also got veggie chili, salads, and wraps for those of you who rather not drink or eat a bowl of mush!
