Healthy High-Protein Peruvian Meals in Greenbelt

Published Thursday, June 11, 2026 | Pollo Cabana, Greenbelt, MD

Healthy takeout does not have to mean plain food. At Pollo Cabana in Greenbelt, you can build a meal around rotisserie chicken, grilled seafood, fresh vegetables, beans, salads, and ceviche while still enjoying the bold flavors of Peruvian cooking.

If you are looking for healthy family dinners Greenbelt residents can order after work, start with protein. The menu includes rotisserie chicken, grilled pork chops, charbroiled salmon, carne asada, shrimp, lamb chops, salads with protein, and ceviche. That gives you many ways to eat well without cooking from scratch.

Start with Rotisserie Chicken

Chicken is one of the easiest ways to build a balanced meal. The 1/4 Chicken White meal is $12.99 and is estimated at about 650 calories with 70 grams of protein. The 1/2 Chicken White meal is $15.50 and is estimated at about 1,150 calories with 140 grams of protein.

Build your plate around protein first, then choose sides that match your goal: beans for more protein, vegetables or salad for a lighter meal.

For families, the Whole Chicken Meal is $28.99 and includes 2 large sides. This is a flexible option because everyone can make their own plate. One person can choose rice and beans, another can choose mixed fresh vegetables, and another can add plantains or yuca fries.

Choose Sides Based on Your Goal

The side menu makes it easy to customize. For more protein, black beans or rice and beans are smart choices. Both are listed at about 8 grams of protein per medium side. For lower-calorie sides, mixed fresh vegetables are estimated at about 110 calories, and house salad is estimated at about 140 calories.

If you want a comfort-food plate, choose arroz chaufa, French fries, yuca fries, or plantains. If you want a lighter plate, pair chicken or grilled seafood with vegetables and salad.

Try Ceviche for a Lighter Option

Ceviche is one of the freshest choices on the menu. Pollo Cabana's ceviches feature fresh seafood cooked in lemon juice with secret Cabana seasonings. Ceviche Clasico is $18.99 and is estimated at about 300 calories with 28 grams of protein. Ceviche de Camarones is $19.99 and is estimated at about 285 calories with 28 grams of protein.

For guests who want seafood with bright flavor, ceviche is a great lunch or dinner choice. It is also a good starter to share before grilled chicken or saltado.

Build a Better Takeout Routine

Healthy eating is easier when your order is simple. Try 1/4 Chicken White with mixed vegetables and house salad. Choose Charbroiled Salmon with black beans and vegetables. Or order Cabana Chicken Caesar for $15.99 when you want a salad with about 45 grams of protein.
