Healthy Restaurants in Colorado Springs

We track five restaurants in Colorado Springs, and we currently have one dish logged for each: Chipotle Mexican Grill, First Watch, Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh, Mama Poke, and Uchenna Ethiopian Restaurant. Calories across the five logged dishes range from 420 to 650.

Chipotle's Double Chicken Bowl has both the most protein and the best protein-to-calorie ratio of the five: 68g of protein for 640 calories, or about 0.106g of protein per calorie. First Watch's Healthy Turkey Omelet is close behind on that ratio at 49g of protein for 480 calories. Uchenna Ethiopian Restaurant's Doro Wat is the lowest-calorie dish we have on file here, at 420 calories with 33g of protein.

The one that stands out for a different reason is Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh's High Protein Power Bowl: despite the name, at 650 calories for 40g of protein it actually has the lowest protein-to-calorie ratio of the five dishes we've logged in this city. A dish's name isn't a substitute for checking its numbers — that's true whether the name promises "high protein" or just sounds healthy, no matter which of the five you're considering.
