gLuten Free at panera bread
Today I had an excellent gluten free lunch at Panera. Many of their soups and salads are gf if you order right. My personal favorite is the creamy tomato soup (above) with no croutons. Their gf side options include fruit and their kettle cooked potato chips. Panera has been making a huge effort to clean up their menu, and they have started releasing so many amazing gf options. Their gluten conscious cookies are really amazing, they now have both a monster cookie and a chocolate walnut. When you order your cookie, I would suggest opting for a pre wrapped one rather than one behind the counter - they are often touching pastries with gluten. I also discovered that, in the next few months, panera will be nationally releasing gluten free bread. Until then, Panera's sandwiches can be ordered wrapped in lettuce for gluten free folks. I'm really thrilled that Panera has made an effort to offer delicious, high-quality gluten free food!
