minimal amounts of meat myself...always looking for veggies and fruits. I work at Panera Bread, which has 400 locations nationwide.
They have: - a hot panini sandwich: portabello and mozzarella. Made on rosemary and onion foccacia (made with a potato studded starter and asiago cheese), with portabello mushrooms, mozz cheese, red onions cooked in a no-sugar added balsalmic vinagrette dressing. - a cold veggie sandwich: served standard on ciabatta bread, but you can order it on anything you like (I prefer the rosemary foccacia), it includes lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, gorgonzola cheese (crumbles), red peppers (Hungarian goat peppers), cucumbers, and a cucumber sauce made from a yogurt base with garlic (would be a great dipping sauce but man it's expensive). all veggies on sandwich are fresh cut daily at the location. -two summer salads are just great- I ate them every day last summer: Strawberry poppyseed salad: romaine lettuce, fresh chopped at the location, fresh sliced strawberries, blueberries (frozen and thawed), pineapple tidbits (canned), mandarin oranges (canned), pecan bits (fresh chopped at the location), and a sugar-free lemon poppyseed dressing made with Splenda-no aftertaste it's fantastic! Lots of fiber, vitamins, no sugar, and no fat either! Perfect food that tastes wonderful! Tomato mozzarella salad: fresh cut tomato chunks, fresh mozza ball wedges (mozza ball not cut until you order the salad), red onions, rosemary and onion foccaccia wedges, balsamic vinagrette dressing (no sugar added dressing). High fat because of the cheese but boy is it yummy!
Also, they have a fresh fruit cup with pineapple bits (we core, peel, and cut the pineapples in our locations every day...whew! Glad that isn't MY job!), fresh melon pieces (again cut at the location)-honeydew and canteloupe, and red grapes. You can get the fruit cup and any of the salads as one of the items in a You Pick Two meal - soup/salad, sandwich/salad, soup/sandwich. Comes with a chunk of french baguette (served warm from the oven as is possible) or your choice of another bread. The fruit cup that comes with the U Pick 2 is the large size....that's a VERY good deal, pricewise. At least one vegetarian soup is on the menu every day, of the six soup choices of the day; sometimes more than one veggie soup. Veggie as in yes, no meat base of any type. Some of our veggie soups include Veggie Italian Vegetable, Veggie Garden Vegetable (my favorite-good spices-mild, flavorful), Veggie Black Bean (with cilantro). Happy eating! (I'm not a manager there but I used to be...decided I'd rather have a real life than manage a restaurant!)
