Is Panera Bread Actually Healthy? | With Full Menu Review

[@nettejean5912]

I think Rose stole my heart. I love how you are teaching her to cook with you. It is something she will never forget! This is great that you are reviewing food places sometime we go to when not at home. I am subscribing now and going to share your channel with my mom since you go over food labels. I think my mom will get a kick out of Rose too!

It will be great that you should open your own fast food Bobby Approved restaurant.

Yes!

[@abou8963]

Absolutely! Bobby's... Approved

[@drc3857]

That would be great, although, that would come with a price. Most if not all of his Bobby approve foods & ingredients are pricey (unfortunately). Ideal yes, but business wise, I’m not sure if that’s going to be sustainable.

Thanks so much, Bobby for taking the time and effort to produce such compelling content! Love Panera because their staff is so professional and so nice. I order the Turkey Chili because it has the least amount of sodium. I wish that Panera would greatly reduce the amount of sodium in their menu items, especially their soups. Let the customer add salt if desired.

[@StingrayGhost]

Yep, Panera is a freakin' Salt Factory!! Shockingly bad!

I once saw a meme that said “Panera tastes like overpriced hospital food and people are just okay with that”, and I’ve never heard anything more accurate. 😏😁

[@lockergr]

Why do people always hate on hospital food? When you've been in there for 3 days or 4 days and they haven't let you eat anyting you're pretty satisfied with whatever they shove on that plate that they heated up after the doctor said you could finally eat. Panera tastes really good to me. I've never had anything I didn't like from there but now I don't eat there because I don't eat gluten or soy.

MSG can also be hidden in an ingredient called "spices", a vague term for whatever the manufacturer decides those are. It won't necessarily be there and If it's organic spices, it won't. The food world is full of misleading and ambiguous terms like that.

[@bls5160]

There are actually ten or more different names for MSG so sometimes there are multiple kinds of it in fast foods.

The chicken noodle soup, roasted turkey avocado BLT, and Mediterranean veggie sandwich are some of the healthier options at Panera as well. Panera soup and half a sandwich is a decent lunch if you have to eat out at a fast(ish) food place.

I think they were put out because you ordered so much so they just literally threw your order together. It’s been my experience at several Paneras in 3 states that Panera employees tend to have a bit of an attitude, whether they feel someone is taking too long to decide, or the order is more than one or two items. I once saw them reduce an older lady early to tears because she hadn’t been there before and wasn’t familiar with the menu or with the process. I hadn’t been in a Panera for years before I went keto and only once after because my mother wanted the salad you loved.
