Panera Vegan Options
If you’re wondering if there are any Panera Vegan Options, you’re in luck! While some chain restaurants make it difficult for customers to find plant-based options, Panera Bread makes it incredibly easy!
To find vegan options at Panera, all you have to do is search for a menu item on their website. You can view all the ingredients in any menu item, allowing you to easily determine whether something is plant-based or not.
Another way to easily find Panera Bread vegan options is to check out the “Eating Vegan” post on their website. While they do not include all of the vegan items available in their restaurant, they provide a pretty long list of items that are plant-based.
Always Read the Ingredients
Even when a company puts out a list of plant-based options, I recommend ALWAYS double-checking the ingredients list anyway.
Plant-Based Panera Option: Ten Vegetable Soup in a Sourdough Bread Bowl
After doing many vegan guides and looking at all of the recommended plant-based food choices, I’ve seen many mistakes in labeling, so you don’t always want to take someone’s word for it.
Even as I was creating this guide, I found an error on their website that leads customers to believe a non-vegan item is vegan.
So, you can look up each individual menu item on their website to see if it’s vegan-friendly, but an easier way is to check out my easy guide to eating vegan at Panera Bread.
I’ve double-checked all of the ingredients, but as always, menu items are subject to change, so always specify vegan when you order.
