I discovered this lunch-on-the-go about a year ago, during a Starbucks drive-thru trip.
Which is always a nice surprise because staying on track with gluten-friendly eating isn't always easy when you're out and about, am I right?
The options are few and far between and the options that are available are not really that appetizing.
(I'm looking at you garden salad!)
I was pleasantly surprised to find this container filled with:
- Yummy chunks of moist and flavourful chicken
- Cut carrots and cucumbers
- A delicious, tangy greek-inspired dip
Unfortunately, you can't get this Fire-Grilled Chicken protein box at Starbucks anymore.
But not to worry.
We'll re-create it together😄

ty but what do you have listed here and what is directly under the recipe are completely different. So which one is more accurate. I’m counting calories in proteins and really would like to use this but I need to be sure.
Hey Gabe,
Yes, thanks for commenting. You're right - that's incorrect. I've updated the info above as the nutrition facts table is more accurate, based on 2% Greek Yogurt (same protein / more fat than 0%) and low fat sour cream.
Best,
April
