Grilled chicken provides the highest protein among the standard included proteins while staying relatively lean.

Edamame adds 8 grams of protein while keeping calories modest, making it one of the most efficient mix-ins available. Black beans contribute a smaller additional protein bump while improving satiety.

Using cauliflower as the base keeps calories significantly lower than rice or quinoa.

Adding steak alongside chicken pushes total protein past 60 grams, which is extremely high for a fast-casual bowl.

Chicken provides the majority of the protein while steak adds additional grams at the cost of more fat and calories.

At this point, additional toppings won’t significantly increase protein — they mainly increase calories.

Cutting vs Bulking: How to Order at SoFresh

For Cutting

  • Choose spinach or cauliflower bases
  • Use tuna, shrimp, or grilled chicken
  • Add edamame for extra protein
  • Keep dressings light or on the side

Lean bowls can deliver 30–40 grams of protein for around 200–350 calories, which is extremely efficient.

For Bulking

  • Choose brown rice or quinoa bases
  • Add an additional protein
  • Include beans or corn for additional carbohydrates

Higher-carb bowls support training recovery and higher calorie intake while still maintaining strong protein totals.


Final Takeaway

The highest protein bowl at SoFresh reaches about 61 grams of protein, but the best option depends on your goal.

  • Maximum protein: Chicken + added steak
  • Best protein density: Tuna build
  • Budget-friendly: Chicken + edamame
