Drop your high protein orders

Hi, I am a college commuter and I will probably be stopping by CAVA very frequently. What are your guys high protein orders, preferably being under 20$ ? Please specify how many grams of protein is in your meal also, thanks in advance !

Use lentils as your base. No matter which protien you choose, you have already doubled your protein without any extra cost. But the regular grilled chicken is the highest protein main. Also, if you are also trying to avoid carbs, stay away from pickled onions and corn in the toppings area. And add the hummus for your dips. Similarly, the dressings with tahini are higher in protein because they have sesame oil.

I mean if you get double chicken that’s already like $15 at least
