- Next up in the fast food and fast casual review series is Panera Bread. I ordered a ton of menu items and reviewed the ingredients. For the most part, Panera uses real food and not too many preservatives or chemicals. Here are the healthiest menu options!
Where to next? - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

It will be great that you should open your own fast food Bobby Approved restaurant.
Yes!
Absolutely! Bobby's... Approved
That would be great, although, that would come with a price. Most if not all of his Bobby approve foods & ingredients are pricey (unfortunately). Ideal yes, but business wise, I’m not sure if that’s going to be sustainable.
Is app Bobby approved works??
The prices would be ridiculous
Hi Flavcity family,
I'm so glad Bobby kept me in the video!
I was actually working on content for my business Posture Police at Panera, when I saw them filming.
My goal was to make them smile and laugh.
I'm so glad putting the drink on my head worked. Hahaha.
Have a balanced day!
Best part of the video !
Loved it!😆
Loved it!! 😄 Thanks for the entertainment!
Nothing more pure than laughter! 😂
Loved it 🤗
I think Rose stole my heart. I love how you are teaching her to cook with you. It is something she will never forget! This is great that you are reviewing food places sometime we go to when not at home. I am subscribing now and going to share your channel with my mom since you go over food labels. I think my mom will get a kick out of Rose too!
LOVE how you consider the taste as well as the ingredients. Great series :)
I once saw a meme that said “Panera tastes like overpriced hospital food and people are just okay with that”, and I’ve never heard anything more accurate. 😏😁
Why do people always hate on hospital food? When you've been in there for 3 days or 4 days and they haven't let you eat anyting you're pretty satisfied with whatever they shove on that plate that they heated up after the doctor said you could finally eat. Panera tastes really good to me. I've never had anything I didn't like from there but now I don't eat there because I don't eat gluten or soy.
@@lockergr I've stayed at the local hospital in my city for a few days and they actually had pretty good tasting food. Just like anywhere else, it depends on who and how something is cooked.
And their soups are loaded with salt!
Panera is prettty tasty though, I love their sandwiches and soups, even the salads. They have the worst iced coffee though.
It's worse than our local hospital.
The guy balancing the drink on his head .😂😂😂😂
That was mighty impressive, and I enjoyed his, "Have a balanced day!"
I just saw that and was about to comment. 😂
It's fun and it kinda keeps my head cool
Now before I go eat out, I watch Bobby approved foods to choose from. Thanks so much Bobby
Have a balanced day!
Have a balanced life!
Hahah. When I have a water bottle on my head I say I'm "breathing under water"... Then I take a deep breath in lol
Lmao 😂
Thanks so much, Bobby for taking the time and effort to produce such compelling content!
Love Panera because their staff is so professional and so nice. I order the Turkey Chili because it has the least amount of sodium. I wish that Panera would greatly reduce the amount of sodium in their menu items, especially their soups. Let the customer add salt if desired.
Yep, Panera is a freakin' Salt Factory!! Shockingly bad!
“Investigative reporter live at the scene”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I haven’t been to Panera in years!!! The salad looked 💣 😋😋
I'm from Florida and you nailed it on the head with this statement: "That's Florida - loud mufflers." Lol
As a Floridian with a loud exhaust, this is definitely true. 🤣
Yep, I think it's for effect
@@nibekus Yes, Florida is the worst. A national fart.
@@nora22000 😂
I’m really enjoying these reviews to see what’s good at all these places and what’s not. Really good info Bobby and Brad! Thanks so much! Yeah, the look you got when you ordered everything must have been like seriously, the two of you want to order how much??, Lol
We love Panera! Great review! (Love the guy who balanced his Boba tea 🧋 on his head and did a squat. That strawberry poppyseed salad was the first thing I ever had from Panera. Delish!
A Panda Express review would be great too! Thanks Bobby & Brad!!!
I ca t think of anything including the soggy vegetables that are Bobby approved.☹️
Avoid panda like the plague. 5-7 teaspoons pure sugar in one container of orange chick. Fake msg has got to be worse then real synthetic msg
Been done that one
It scares me to eat non-organic foods, but IF I have no choice but to grab something out, it is Panera. So thank you for the review!
I love these videos...so helpful with making better choices when we have to eat out. Thank you Bobby!!
Its ok to eat their macaroni cheese, 10 veggies soup, salad and baja bowl. When eating out Throw out the window the dirty dozens rules and emphasize on limiting the bad oils and preservatives. Thanks for the video
I don’t like their food at all. When you cook at home using real food you can really taste the low quality and chemicals eating at these chain restaurants. I’m a healthy senior on no drugs who is a hiker and would like to keep it that way.
How old are you?
@@SimplyaLady92 , almost 70
@@peri3818 ok look at you! Were you always active and fit
@@SimplyaLady92 , I was always a walker. As a kid I would rather play outside than with my Barbie dolls. I loved bike riding and handball. This was the 50’s so girls were suppose to like dolls and tea parties which I did not. Even today if I don’t get some exercise in for the day I don’t feel good. Exercise invigorates me. My mother smoked all during her pregnancy with me as back then no one knew it was harmful. I always wonder if something will pop up later in life like now. Someone I know was just diagnosed with lung cancer who never smoked. The doctor asked if her mother smoked while pregnant. Very scary.
@@peri3818 Good on you! Thrive on sister.
TY so much for breaking it down for us. Now I know what to order. I love their tomatoe & basil bread. You should do Subway and show how processed their food is.
Love this series!
Loving this new series!
I eat Panera bread several times per week. Chicken strawberry spinach salad no dressing just lemon is amazing. Have strawberry banana smoothies all the time too. Love their chocolate chip bagels. The chicken salad sandwich is great as well as the smokehouse bbq chicken sandwich. I like the basic cheese pizza also.
Thank you so much for doing these reviews! Such a help when I’m forced to go out to restaurants!!!
My eyes are on the Chipotle next door! 👀❤️ Panera has some good food, however their a bit pricey, to my liking 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks guys, for the review!. ❤️✌🏼
Basically all of their soups are full of sugar..... I hardly ever eat at Panera but when I do I always go for their salads and I customize my order always. But still I would rather make my own salad or soup. Bobby thanks to you since I follow you I have learned many things in terms of ingredients and what to look for!. Thank you for your videos.
And the broccoli cheese soup is especially easy to make!
Soups are very salty
Yesss! So stoked for this one!
Thank you so much for the suggestions. I have tried the Baja bowl and the 10 vegetable soup. They are great!
Thank you Bobby! This was very helpful! I’ll be ordering the Baja Salad & 10 veggie soup from now on😊
5:40 The world needs more people like her! Small but friendly gesture, that goes a long way.
I would love to see your opinion of Boston Market. Their quarter chicken meal is amazing!
Thank you for the review, I eat gluten free and going to Panera has always been dismal so I have not gone in a very long time. Good to see there are more options for me.
I get the Mediterranean bowl with chicken when I go once in a while. Its really good, and probably one of the healthier options.
Panera offers a amazing cinnamon blueberry strawberry oatmeal in the morning! Amazing
Also my favorite healthy salad at Panera is the kale salad with fruit and add chicken!!
Lots of other healthy options too!
Been waiting for this one, thx!
Could you please do a video on what is absolutely necessary to start a gluten free - organic - paleo pantry. What are the staples? These types of food items can be pricey, so the starter items only. I think that would be an huge gift for a lot of people. Thank you.
I've been waiting for this. Thank you!
Hi Flavcity! And Brad!They barely got that Chipotle sauce on that sandwich! 🥪🤣That balancing act that was behind you was so cool!🥤I'm pretty sure that I've had the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad, and it was really good! I remember that the ingredients were on point! 🥗The Ground Turkey Chili and 10 Veggie Soups are soups that I definitely want to try! 🥣Just about everything at your table looks fantastic! Take care guys! 💕☮
I work at Panera before the Pandemic. All of the soups, mac and cheese, and all meat comes in frozen all ready cooked.
Some dressing are made in store. Others are store made.
Cookies, pastries, bagels, and bread are baked off.
I’m pretty sure most chain stores do this.
@@Sassyglbeauty this
It's sad... especially when they try to pass it on as home made... home made means to me they are cooking it right there at the place from scratch... but they charge as if they did... :(
@@juliawashburn675 and charges the prices they do
What does “clean” ingredients even mean?
Oh that's so good of you to feed the less fortunate and share the rest of the food with them.❤ God bless you guys!
I would love to see you do a big lots or fresh market grocery review!
Wow I can’t believe it I been watching your videos for the last few days and I said to myself I wish he does food review on Panera bread because I like to go there thank you 😊
Happy to know several of my FAVs are on your table and ok.
Me too!
Hi Bobby. Thanks for this video. My sister and I love Panera Bread. This video was very informative.
Thanks God Bobby help us !!! Great informative videos. I cant stop learning.
Hey Bobby, they are owned by Crispy Cream Donuts now. Before that they were working hard to get rid of stuff chemicals that are not ones you are mentioning. I am not sure about that! Love you 😍! Keep up the good work.
I would love you to review Wawa one of the options for us who get out of work late!!!
Great video but I especially liked seeing that gentleman walking in the background while at the same time balancing his drink on his head! Now that was entertaining and truly amazing!
I’ve noticed that each menu item...that actually doesn’t have hidden ingredients! 10veggie & autumn squash are the only vegetarian or vegan soups! The soups have chicken broth as a base! Yes the fake cheese ~microwaved Mac & cheese~Tysm for this video🙏🏻Bravo🙌🏼
I love the strawberry salad. I also like the black bean soup (is it healthy?). I always choose side apple over the baguette.
Good job...my fave is the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad...yum-o! How about Panda Express? Culver’s? Applebees? Always good to know the ‘healthiest’ menu items!
Thanks for doing that. Glad to know the white mac n cheese is not too bad. One of my guilty pleasures. I like it Baja style with avocado and tomatoes. Makes it feel healthier and good tasting. Don't do much fast food.
I'm so glad I found your channel today. I'm trying to change my diet as it's very unhealthy. Your channel is extremely helpful so thank you.
I've never commented on any of these videos before but I had to because I love the strawberry poppyseed salad... Waited on this to come back out!!!!!! I'm a lover for fruit salads
I love beans or berries and nuta in salad. Must have cottage cheese too. And no hard things like carrot.
Bobby to Brad: “What’s so funny”??
That guy was balancing that drink on his head for a good solid 10 seconds!! 😂😂😂😂
I'm so glad I got his attention. Hahah. I've been a fan of Bobby's for years.
I love balancing stuff on my head. Pineapples are fun.
Have a balanced day.
Thank you Bobby and Brad for reviewing Panera.
I really like the Blueberry Peach Almond smoothie. Is that a terrible choice?
This actually educational. It's the first time I watched a review and didn't fast forward it
Please do McDonald’s. I travel a lot for work and sometimes it’s the only option so I just don’t eat. Please help me find Bobby Approved options!!
Lol McDonald’s I’d say the Southwest salad my Master educative friend said is good!
Idk if anything is good there
For breakfast their pork sausage patty has pretty straightforward ingredients and the egg. Their bread is horrible along with everything else (ingredient wise)
The South western salad and the parfait is what I use to get.
Personally, I find Panera' food to be extremely bland. I don't mind low-salt, since I can add a bit. Wish they would have more whole grain bread and pasta options. The lack of good oils (EVOO), particularly in salad dressings is unconscionable!
😮l😢
thank you..was waiting for this..I usually get the butternut squash soup and Mediterranean veggie .I know it has cheese..
While we have different views on what constitutes healthy food, these reviews are really great and fun to watch.
I think you should do a “letting the person in front of you decided what you eat for 24 hours” drive thru video and then talk about and rate what you get!
Great idea!!
Love that Idea
Panera is so delicious. My fav is broccoli cheddar soup. I don’t go often I haven’t been in years. One time my husband ordered me a steak sandwich it was so delicious. I had a spicy mustard that has horseradish that I’m so obsessed with.
Yes to a McDonalds video. I like Panera and their food choices. Thank you for an informative video.
Great review, love the channel. Wished you did my favorite the BTB sandwich.
If you could evaluate Noodles and Co., I would appreciate that...Thank you for ALL your teaching!!! Greatly Appreciated 💥💯💜
I love Noodles and Company and it would be great if he reviewed it to see if I should really eat there or not.
I always get the Greek goddess salad but I’ll try the Baja bowl!
I have a few ideas for the next review looking for healthy options. Potbelly, sushi or taco bell. Thanks Bobby !
I love your channel !
Your right Bobby! I live in Florida too, and no car inspections. Wish that program would come back!
Yes to the Macdonald’s video. Thank you 😊
One of my faves so I am happy to see this video!
Really loving this series
Love these videos! I’ve wondered how good the Mediterranean Veggie sandwich is for you...
Can you please do a review on El Pollo Loco. Thanks!!
My Guy w/ the Balancing act. 😂 Have a "Balanced day".
I know the guy balancing the Water on his head as a local yoga instructor here. This must be a Panera in Coral Springs, FL!!
It's called photo bomb! Ha!
Oh man I hope he reads this and hook us up with free yoga classes I'm in coral springs all the time 😂
@@mariaa.5829 Hiiii!
@@carolinaagudelo1694 I'll organize a special class for every flavcity fan in South Florida. Hahahah
Great series so far Bobby! Instead of McDonald's how about Burger King?
Love Panera and to see a few of my favorites Bobby approved is awesome 👍
Love you Bobby! So informative.
Bobby can you please do POLLO TROPICAL? It is my absolute go to and it's really popular down here in south Florida.
Yes! Pollo tropical!
Oh that’s a good one. Muy Rico!
Oh my goodness i remember eating that in miami and it was so fresh and delicious!!
I actually tried it when u went to Miami lol it was very good !
Please do a Pollo Tropical. I always get the tropic chop with chicken. Bobby I’m counting on you for the facts.
Mediterranean Veggie sandwich is my fave! Don't know if it's "Bobby Approved" but it does taste good!
Thank you for helping the public make better food choices.
Thank you for doing this. I honestly loved Pardise Bakery before Panera bought them out.
I have to say the broccoli and cheese soup is my favorite, can you do a review on Wendy's?
Bobby’s face when someone zooms by 😄
Appreciate your sharing this! Wish you would have a Keto talk with Panera’s and see if they wouldn’t consider offering a few choices!❤
Thank you for this video! I usually order the Napa chicken salad. I have stopped going to Panera as the servings have become skimpy and it has gotten expensive.
My #1 favorite place to go I love their cranorange muffin and orange scone yea I know I shouldn't or maybe I should make my own but I only get it twice a mth so its not gone kill me🤗😄
Can you please please PLEASE do The Habit.. I always get the Super salad their with their baseil/pesto... ... 💘 u.. N rose😘😘
Thank you for your review. I used to order from Panera bread at least 2 times a week. I’ve noticed in the last 2 years the quality and portions of their food has gone down dramatically. I only eat there nice in while now.
Thanks for the review. Can you point out best keto options when you’re doing your reviews please?
How about Noodles & Company? We enjoy them, and they have (had?) power bowls with no noodles. I like their food and they seem to want to source their stuff responsibly, but not sure. This was very informative, and I'm glad to know that some of the things I enjoy were recommended.
Ditto that on the best keto options. So hard to find on the road!
Panera is my favorite next to Chipotle. I tend to get the Greek Salad. But next review? What about Boston Market? Do you have them there? Also need help going to a restaurant like Claim Jumper, Cheesecake Factory, Apple Bees, Chillis.
Thank you for this review Bobby . It's good to know the ingredients. I didn't used to pay attention to that, but now I do. I don't buy processed cheese anymore. I've had the flatbread pizza and like it. Publix sells those. Love your personality and positivity 😊 God bless. Thanks for your thorough assessment of Panera. I like this restaurant.
Loving this series! Can you do one on the Starbucks food menu please!
Have you checked your sodium content? That’s really high!
That will be great if you do one on the Starbucks.
Thanks for reviewing Panera menu. My favorite place. My daughter was asking about the items at Panera and I didn't know. Now I can share this video.
Only thing I could think all thru the video is that is a lot of food for one person to complete. However, if Bobby was a little careful by not double dipping the spoon or cutting it into smaller bites. Some food could have been shared and not wasted.
I love your videos they are fun to watch most of the time
Yeast extract is MSG, right? (I don’t mean Madison Square Garden 😀)
Yes it is
Not quite as bad!
MSG can also be hidden in an ingredient called "spices", a vague term for whatever the manufacturer decides those are. It won't necessarily be there and If it's organic spices, it won't. The food world is full of misleading and ambiguous terms like that.
There are actually ten or more different names for MSG so sometimes there are multiple kinds of it in fast foods.
Can you review La Madeleine next!!
Thank you for doing this video! I try to avoid fast food, but on occasion that is the only option. Would love to know if there is anything "healthy" at McDonalds :)
Thanks for Yeast Extract info. That is the one ingredient in LONOLIFE bone broth I was confused about...cause I was taking it during a time when trying to fight what felt like a candida and eczema outbreak after a couple days of Antibiotic use.
I think they were put out because you ordered so much so they just literally threw your order together. It’s been my experience at several Paneras in 3 states that Panera employees tend to have a bit of an attitude, whether they feel someone is taking too long to decide, or the order is more than one or two items. I once saw them reduce an older lady early to tears because she hadn’t been there before and wasn’t familiar with the menu or with the process. I hadn’t been in a Panera for years before I went keto and only once after because my mother wanted the salad you loved.
Definitely agree it’s a weird vibe there. They have messed up my order more times than they got it right and I’m never ordering anything crazy
@@atklecz2695 It's definitely been the case, sometimes there is some good vibes there but a number of times I have found that that the employees there can be downright rude, however i know it just depends on the person and work conditions; so I try not to let it honestly bother me that much but I know it's not about me but the other people.
They have been trained by the "Soup Nazi".
