CAVA Nutrition Facts
CAVA specializes in customizable Mediterranean bowls, pitas, and salads built with fresh greens, grains, dips, proteins, and toppings at its fast-casual locations, including the Omaha spot. The chain draws from Greek and Middle Eastern flavors with options like grilled chicken, braised lamb, falafel, and RightRice. For a macro-friendly order, build a SuperGreens base bowl with double grilled chicken (28g protein per serving), black lentils (17g), and a light dressing like yogurt dill to hit around 50g protein under 600 calories while keeping carbs moderate from minimal grains. The highest-protein component available is the Chicken + RightRice curated bowl at 46g protein, though building your own with extra lean grilled chicken maximizes it further.
Watch out for the garlic dressing at 180 calories per serving from 20g fat, which can quickly push a bowl over 800 calories, or high-fat traps like the Harissa Avocado bowl (880 calories, 42g protein but 53g fat). Skip pita chips (280 calories) and opt for greens to control totals. Focus on lean proteins like grilled chicken or meatballs and low-cal toppings like romaine or cucumber for optimal macros.
