CAVA 🥗🍋
This is what I get at work when I’m near a CAVA for the day! It’s also $7-9 depending on if you get a drink
consider that I didn’t eat all the lintels, I only mixed half into the chicken side because it was so much but I could’ve added to my fiber if I ate it all. The meal was filling even for a kid’s size!

When I visited CAVA recently, I was pleasantly surprised by how satisfying the kids meal was despite its smaller size. Even without consuming all the black lentils, the meal provided a great balance of macronutrients—especially the protein from the grilled chicken and the fiber from the lentils and veggies. I appreciated the flavorful combinations like the fiery broccoli and refreshing Persian cucumber, which added textures and enhanced the meal's appeal. What stood out to me was how this meal can fit well into a workday lunch without being overly heavy yet still providing sustained energy. The tahini drizzle added a creamy finish without excessive calories, making it a tasty, nutrient-dense option. If you want to maximize fiber intake, eating all the black lentils would be beneficial, as they contribute significantly to digestive health. For those watching their calories but wanting a filling and balanced meal, this CAVA kids size option is great, especially paired with a drink for under $10. Overall, it’s a thoughtful choice for quick, healthy eating near work or on the go.
