Protein - Washington DC

I was thrilled to discover a restaurant I really wanted to try while walking to the mall. After completing a tough workout, I didn’t want anything heavy, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this place. The staff member who assisted me was very friendly, and my smoothie arrived fairly quickly. However, the smoothie itself was somewhat underwhelming. I tried The Perk shake, which turned out to be quite bland and tasted mostly like watered-down coffee with ice. I'm hoping the protein made it worthwhile! I'd be willing to give it another shot if I happen to pass by again, but it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit.

The food arrived quickly! I ordered the superfood wrap, but the tofu resembled chicken quite a bit.

Why is this vegetarian soup priced at nearly $12? The amount of avocado I received certainly doesn’t justify the $2.50 I paid for it (using my finger for scale). The menu doesn’t offer anything under $8.50, aside from a $6 juice (12 oz). I suppose if your other option is to have diet meals shipped from France, this pricing might make sense, but for the average person, I’d say it’s overpriced. Additionally, a $12 soup deserves to be served in a proper bowl, not a paper one.

The restaurant offers a fantastic range of relatively healthy food choices, available in either salad or burrito form. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is clean and pleasant, complete with WiFi. While the shakes sounded tempting, I didn't try one. Just keep in mind that you may not get the best value for your money here, and you'll likely leave satisfied.
