IT'S ALL GOOD.

'On-the-go' shouldn't sacrifice health.  Health shouldn't sacrifice flavor.  

The PBK menu offers familiar flavors, lightened up - often half the calories - with something delicious for every taste, lifestyle or background.

The best part?  Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and catering maximize sales all day long.

WE CHANGED THE GAME.

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. Every body loved it. The all-day power of protein grew in popularity. We all started eating, feeling and moving better. 

All these years and successes later, we never forget where we came from. We started a protein-powered movement from that small storefront. 

And we’re still going strong.
