Panera is a great choice for busy people who still want to eat healthy. Contrary to what some might suggest, it's completely possible to lose weight without cooking every meal. If that's your goal, here are six options from Panera to consider:
If you're looking for a quick breakfast option and aren't craving something hot, Panera's greek yogurt with mixed berries is a perfect choice. The fresh strawberries and blueberries are delicious and the whole meal packs 15 grams of protein.
Panera's warm bowls are delicious and nutritious. Their Mediterranean bowl contains cilantro lime brown rice, quinoa, chicken, hummus, feta, a bunch of veggies, and lemon tahini dressing. It's 670 calories and 30 grams of protein without a side.
At Panera for breakfast and craving something hot? We think the healthiest hot breakfast option is the avocado, egg white, and spinach sandwich . It comes with aged white cheddar on a sprouted grain bagel flat. You can customize the bread, but that might add calories.
This protein-packed salad is a great option for lunch. You'll get 40 grams of protein from hard-boiled egg, chopped bacon, avocado, and grilled chicken. Choose an apple as your side for the healthiest combo.
You read that correctly - only 100 calories for an entire bowl of hearty soup! This healthy option can be enough for a small meal or eaten as a high-protein side (9 grams of protein) with another entree.
Sandwiches typically aren't the healthiest choice at Panera, but if you're craving one, the turkey sandwich is a healthy option. Their oven-roasted turkey sandwich comes on country rustic sourdough and boasts 31 grams of protein.
