What do you get at Panera?

What would you order there now?  

I am craving a strawberry salad but I am too early post op for it to be legal!

1/2 Thai Chicken Salad - no wontons, dressing and peanut sauce on the side. Done! (Can you tell I ONLY ever order the one thing from there?!)

Will be honest, though. Panera is not an easy place for me to eat. It is so carb based that I feel my choices are really limited not to mention the bakery section is always poised front and center and they purposely keep the fresh baked cookie scent in the air - so for me the temptation factor is quite high. Luckily, the one closest to me has a drive through, so if I need to get something from Panera I can do so without going in.

Pre-op, I couldn't eat lettuce, so I also feared that I'd never be able to eat at Panera post-op!  Thankfully my stomach is totally happy with lettuce now, so I can enjoy the salads.  

I've also ordered some sandwiches sans bread and that works well, if a bit odd. :P

Strawberry poppyseed salad with grilled chicken.  So so good and I love the leftovers!  I will have to try the onion soup without croutons once the strawberry poppyseed salad is gone for the season.  Oh no, I have to get one before it's gone for the season. 

I also really liking the Asian salad with grilled chicken from McDonalds. Check it out. 

the black bean soup!  I give the side to my husband

I love the "secret" menu. I've had the steak bowl and the chicken hummus bowl.

Power kale chicken Caesar salad. It has Parmesan krispies instead of croutons. I eat the chicken first. 

I think I might try this next time.  Kale can be hit or miss for me, depending on how it's prepared, but Panera might surprise me.  

They have their "secret menu" power bowels.  I usually get the steak one.  Basically steak on a salad.
