Shakedown

Protein Bar Opens

If your butt could talk, it would assssssk a few questions (sorry, couldn’t resist): Why are my cheeks chubby? Why is this tushy so mushy?

An answer for your whiny hiney: Protein Bar, a just-opened health haunt in the Loop.

Designed to resemble a sleek hotel bar, PB offers a variety of guilt-free options for gobblers on the go. Rather than fill your belly with sugary carbs, satisfy it with protein-packed blended drinks like Fruit Loop’d (blueberries, bananas, vanilla protein, choice of milk); bowls spilling with quinoa, steel-cut oats, yogurt, and fresh fruit; and fresh-made soups, chili, salads, and wraps (try chipotle roast beef with guac).

No refined sugars, icky juices, or syrups. Just nutritious, delicious, and fill-you-up-for-hours selections.

Get behind it.

Protein Bar, 235 South Franklin Street, between Adams and Jackson Streets (312-346-7300 or proteinbarchicago.com).
