Chipotle is introducing its first High Protein Menu, a new curated lineup designed for customers seeking higher‑protein, macro‑focused meals. The menu — the first of its kind for the chain — debuts on December 23, 2025, across restaurants in the U.S. and Canada. It includes bowls, burritos, salads, tacos, and Chipotle’s first‑ever snack item: the High Protein Cup.
What’s on the High Protein Menu
According to Chipotle’s announcement, the new menu features items ranging from 15 to 81 grams of protein per entrée. Highlights include:
- Double High Protein Bowl – 81g protein
- High Protein–High Fiber Bowl – 46g protein
- High Protein–Low Calorie Salad – 36g protein
- Double High Protein Burrito – 79g protein
- High Protein Cup With Adobo Chicken – 32g protein
- Adobo Chicken Taco – 15g protein
The menu is built around ingredients like adobo chicken, steak, black beans, fajita veggies, and Monterey Jack cheese, with combinations tailored to maximize protein and fiber.
The High Protein Cup
The standout addition is the High Protein Cup, Chipotle’s first snack‑size menu item.
- Available with 4 ounces of adobo chicken or steak
- The chicken version contains 32 grams of protein
- Designed as a quick, portable option for customers who want a protein boost without ordering a full entrée
People and Delish note that the cup is intended to meet demand for “snackable” protein options, especially among customers tracking macros or following high‑protein diets.
Why Chipotle Is Launching This Menu
Chipotle says the High Protein Menu responds to growing interest in protein‑forward eating, influenced by macro tracking, fitness culture, and the rise of GLP‑1 medications. ABC News reports that the chain has seen customers customizing bowls to increase protein for years, prompting Chipotle to formalize these combinations into a dedicated menu.
