About a year back, I found the cinnamon crunch bagels at Panera Bread
About a year back, I found the cinnamon crunch bagels at Panera Bread. Delicious yes, low-calorie, no. Yet, despite its offerings of scrumptious pastries, rich coffee drinks and high calorie bagels, you can find several healthy alternatives at Panera Bread. Organic yogurt, all natural chicken and high protein dishes make eating dinner out both healthy and entertaining. Here are my picks for the healthiest choices at Panera Bread.
Low Fat Strawberry Smoothie with Ginseng
This smoothie is made with organic low fat yogurt, strawberry puree and ginseng. This superb smoothie has 260 calories, one and a half grams of fat, five milligrams cholesterol, six grams of protein and 130 percent of the daily value of Vitamin C.
Asian Sesame Chicken Salad
This salad contains chopped romaine lettuce, fresh cilantro, crispy won-ton strips, almonds, hulled sesame and all natural citrus and pepper chicken. With a half portion of paid off sugar Asian sesame vinaigrette, this salad has 355 calories, sixteen grams of fat and thirtyone grams of protein. The crispy wonton strips account for 140 of the 355 calories, strawberry smoothies and six of the sixteen grams of fat. Therefore, if you would live with no wonton strips, save even more calories and fat grams.
Bread
Take home a loaf of Panera's delicious, fresh bread. For every single two-oz serving, the whole grain bread has 130 calories and one gram of fat. In addition, it has three grams of soluble fiber and six grams of protein. Still another good alternative is the three cheese loaf with 140 calories per two ounce serving and two grams of fat. Both these breads have eight per cent DV of iron. Scmnewline Sandwiches
For a light, but satisfying lunch, decide to try the half tuna salad on honey wheat. This has 240 calories, eight grams of fat and ten grams of protein. Yet another great option may be the half Mediterranean veggie on tomato basil. Along with lots of vitamin rich veg, this sandwich has 300 calories and seven grams of fat. In addition, it has just five milligrams of cholesterol, five grams of fiber and eleven grams of protein. For those viewing their sodium, these sandwiches have 490 and 710 mg, respectively. However, out of every one of the sandwiches, they have the lowest level of sodium. Scmnewline Sweets
For some thing sweet, decide to try the hot cross buns or the pastry ring. The hot cross buns are "made with soft egg bread, dehydrated strawberries, orange zest and topped with white icing." They've 220 calories and five grams of fat. All these can be found Friday through Sunday, 3/11- 4/10, and each day from 4/15 to 4/24. The pastry ring is "a fluted ring, baked with cherry and apple good fresh fruit fillings & our special-recipe cheese filling." It has 230 calories and eleven grams of fat. Scmnewline The main element to a sweet and yummy smoothie is you start with several (3-4) very overripe bananas. Adding whatever from then on is actually as much as you as well as your disposition!
