Good Choices on the Road

FitJoani

I had to go for a mini road trip about an hour each way and when the hungries hit on my way back I was driving thru one of THOSE areas with tons of choices some good most not so good. I pulled into the one strip mall and there was a chinese, mexican(two of my occasional downfalls) and a duh duh duh dun duh...Panera. Panera is getting acclaim for being healthy, fresh, and eco friendly. I decided to go for panera. I never realized how GOOD it was. It was a great victory for me, considering I was starving and still chose the healthiest option. I think I am in love with panera now...

I used to always hit it up for a bagel and still do. Its great pre race food actually. I have eaten one actual meal there once(the veggie sandwich) and it was not great not awful...but I think it is gonna become my new go to "take out". I mean I love pita pit and chipolte but niether were around..they both even if caloric are quality calories

I love it too - we have been eating there for years. You do have to watch out though because even some of their healthy foods have high calorie counts. I love that they now put the calories right up on the menu. Their website is really good too because you can both download a pdf and go to a meal planner where you can customize your items so if you want dressing on the side you will know how much that saves in calories fat etc.

I love Panera and eat there a few times a month for lunch! Usually I go for the Pick 2 with a Ham & Swiss (no mayo, add dijon) and a Greek Salad. I know, the salad isn't perfect, but it's SOOOO delicious. Even with the baguette it's like 640 calories, which is quite a bit, but not so much that you've ruined the day! Watch the menu board, I also love that they've posted the calorie counts. Makes choosing that much easier! Enjoy!

My favorite thing about Panera now is that they have the calories right on the menu! How awesome is that?
