Highest Protein SoFresh Bowl (No Extra Cost)
If you don’t want to pay for additional protein, this is the strongest standard bowl you can build.
No Extra Cost
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.

Highest Protein SoFresh Bowl (Maximum Total Protein)
This is the ceiling under standard ordering rules using one added protein.
Maximum Total Protein
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.

Best Protein Per Calorie SoFresh Bowl
Total protein isn’t always the goal. If you’re cutting, protein density matters more.
Best Protein Density
Ahi tuna is one of the most protein-dense ingredients on the entire menu. Pairing it with spinach instead of grains keeps calories extremely low while protein stays high.
This build delivers 31 grams of protein for just over 200 calories, making it one of the most efficient bowls available during a cutting phase.
Protein Density by Ingredient
| Ingredient | Calories | Protein | Protein / 100 cal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gulf Shrimp | 113 | 25g | 22.1 |
| Ahi Tuna | 93 | 20g | 21.5 |
| Grilled Chicken | 130 | 23g | 17.7 |
| Grass-fed Steak | 234 | 24g | 10.3 |
| Organic Tofu | 144 | 16g | 11.1 |
Shrimp and tuna offer the highest protein density on the menu, while chicken provides the strongest balance of protein and calories. Steak delivers solid protein but comes with significantly more fat.
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
