Panera Bread Iced Caffe Mocha

Panera Bread Iced Caffe Mocha is not to be confused with a Frozen Mocha which is a blended drink. The Iced Caffe Mocha is a coffee with ice in it and topped, like many sweet coffees, with whipped cream.

It's not that great but a hundred and thirty food calories less than it's frosty brother.

Panera Bread Seasonal Fruit Cup

Panera Bread's Seasonal Fruit Cup is something you order if you want to add vitamins to your meal. I ordered one and found it to be less than worth it as the fruit wasn't of the same quality as the image. 

They scraped that pineapple to the skin and the melon was mostly rind. I will point out that this was inexpensive but you could just by some grapes at the market and get a better deal.

Panera Bread Mitten Cookie

This is the Panera Bread flat bread cookie only in mitten form decorated for the holiday. If you like that then go for it but just remember that as much as these things are good there are better things for the same money at Panera Bread.

Panera Bread Signature Hot Chocolate

Panera Bread 'Signature Hot Chocolate' is a 510 Calorie mess that isn't worth all the extra flesh around your belly. I thought it was okay but for 510 Calories you need to be better than okay. You need to be great and this wasn't.

Panera Bread Caramel Latte

The Panera Bread Caramel Latte looks nothing like the picture online. At Three Hundred and ninety food calories I would also have to point out that it's much more calories than a soda and a good deal less refreshing. 

I didn't think much of this offering from Panera Bread and health wise you should be more interested in the smoothies than this liquid candy.

Panera Bread Plane Cream Cheese Spread

Who would review plane cream cheese? Me! Why? Because it's Panera Bread Plane Cream Cheese Spread, and I can't go around comparing cream cheeses without having the normal one first. 
Now I have to point out that these cream cheese is not cream cheese but cream cheese spread. As in it has stuff other than cream cheese in it. In fact when the first ingredient to cream cheese is 'cream cheese' you have yourself a problem. 

In any case, this stuff is bad for you in terms of normal cream cheese which in and of itself is high in saturated fat. This Cream Cheese Spread also has trans fat making it something to avoid all together.

Panera Bread Sprouted Grain Bagel

Panera Bread's Sprouted Grain Bagel is one of the healthier options for those who want to eat bread but not get ridiculously fat like me. This is the lowest calorie bagel Panera Bread sells and as such is likely the best for you. It won't fill you up but then what will that isn't totally bad for you?

Panera Bread Tulip Cookie

Made to be festive for Easter the Panera Bread Tulip Cookie is a standard disappointment having nothing new added. If it were not for the fact that I try every holiday special I come across I would not have tried this one. If you like the other holiday cookies this one will be your jam, but they have so much more to offer than this.

Panera Bread Chipotle Chicken Avocado Panini

Panera Bread's 'Chipotle Chicken Avocado Panini' was a great sandwich but they didn't have the chipotle when I was there so I can't say it was good with that pepper. 

The only real problem is that I still can't find it on the menu so WTF Panera Bread? Update things will you.

Panera Bread Green Passion Power Smoothie

Panera Bread's 'Green Passion Power Smoothie' is...is...green. It tastes like mango and is okay health wise with little sodium but only two grams of fiber. 

I can't say this rocked my world, but I can say it was worth a sip. One of the better options as far as health goes I would get this again.

Panera Bread Bacon, Egg & Cheese on Asiago Cheese Bagel

Panera Bread's 'Bacon, Egg & Cheese on Asiago Cheese Bagel' has a name proportional to the amount of salt included in it's cheese and bacon. 1300mg of sodium to kill you a little more every time you eat one.

I will say that I liked this but found it small. If you're going to have one of these be sure to have a beer that night to wash the sodium out of your system. Other than that they are really good.

Panera Bread Chicken Tortellini Alfredo

Panera Bread 'Chicken Tortellini Alfredo' would be great if it hadn't been sitting around for some time. I could tell that bacteria had grown on the pasta.  I know it sounds funny but this pasta felt sad and lonely, and if I hadn't been waiting for my movie to start I'd have been depressed all day after eating this stuff.

Panera Bread Valentine Cookie

Panera Bread has a cookie for every holiday. The same shortbread cookie with frosting for the most part, but I keep buying them so I can't say it isn't working. These don't travel so well so keep them out of a hot car but they are just like mitten cookies only heart shaped.

Panera Bread Pecan Braid

The Panera Bread Pecan Braid is a crusted sweet. I have to admit I could have used more spice in this, but past that it was very good. I proffer my pecan to light up my day and this failed in that lacking the zing a bit more cinnamon would have given.

Panera Bread Bacon Turkey Bravo Sandwich

At 2910 mg of sodium this Bacon Turkey Bravo Sandwich was a lot of not worth it. Not to mention the 800 Calories that went into the thing. I'd give it a pass unless you want to salt your body for preservation.

Panera Bread Spinach & Artichoke Souffle

When you buy a spinach and Artichoke Souffle you think there is going to be spinach and artichokes in it but you'd be wrong. Other than there being very little green in this thing it was okay. I find these to be small and unappealing but at only 540 Calories they are more of a snack for a fellow like me.

Panera Bread Asiago Steak Sandwich

Panera Bread's Asiago Steak Sandwich looks very little like it's picture given that the bread has more of a curve to it in the photograph. I think it was the horseradish and onion that made this sandwich bad for me if for no other reason than they overwhelm the cheese. There is just too much going on on that thing to make it worth eating.

Panera Bread Tomato Mozzarella Flatbread

Panera Bread's Tomato Mozzarella Flatbread is one of those things you need to like tomatoes to get along with. I would have liked it better if it had spinach rather than that weed lettuce the used. Again, you have to like what is in this to like it, and I just don't care for what this is made of so it's not for me.

Panera Bread Roasted Turkey Cranberry Flatbread

Panera Bread's Roasted Turkey Cranberry Flatbread can use more cranberry. Why you would get this if the cranberry wasn't a big draw I can't figure but there just wasn't much cranberry to go round.
