Chicken and Quinoa Protein Bowl at Starbucks
Chicken and Quinoa Protein Bowl at Starbucks Lauren Harris-Pincus, registered dietitian and owner of NutritionStarringYOU.com and author of "The Protein-Packed Breakfast Club," tries to avoid anything labeled as crispy, crunchy or creamy. "Crispy and crunchy are usually deep-fried, like chicken breast or crunchy noodles on a salad," she says. "If a sandwich is labeled as crispy, you can ask for grilled chicken instead."

For this reason, she always opts for the Chicken & Quinoa Protein Bowl with Black Beans and Greens at Starbucks. "It has 420 calories, 27 grams protein, 9 grams fiber, 17 grams fat and 1030 milligrams sodium," she adds. "You can save some calories by using less dressing."
