Panera Bread is one of those places where you can eat healthy or totally treat yourself. Here is their allergen guide. A couple of cookies have a "May contain peanuts" warning so I avoid those.

If you're trying to eat better, they've got plenty of options. You can grab a salad, like the Green Goddess Chicken Cobb or the Mediterranean Greens with Grains. They also have soups and warm bowls that are pretty filling and not too heavy.

But if you're in the mood for something sweet, Panera's bakery is the place to be. The other morning, I went there for breakfast and got a cinnamon crunch bagel. It was sweet and crunchy on top, so good.! I also had a chocolate croissant that was buttery and flaky. And I couldn't resist grabbing a Kitchen Sink cookie for later. It's packed with chocolate, caramel, pretzels, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Panera's menu keeps changing, and they recently added some new items. For example, they've introduced Croissant Toast Sandwiches, like the Croque Monsieur and Fromage Croissant Toast, which are rich and cheesy. They also have a new Strawberry Caprese Salad with fresh strawberries, mozzarella, basil, and toasted pecans, available with or without chicken. These items are available for a limited time, so check them out while you can.

So whether you're looking for a healthy meal or a sweet treat, Panera has something for everyone.
