With that said, however, I did have one issue with the Low-Fat Wild Berry Smoothie.

It's so easy to go overboard on the sugar with smoothies, so this turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I loved how the sweetness of the berries played with the tanginess of the yogurt. Thankfully, though, this smoothie only contained blueberries and black raspberries along with a base of vanilla yogurt from StonyField Farm. At first, I was hesitant to order the smoothie since "wild berry" could mean any berry these days and I have an allergy to cranberries. First up? The new Low-Fat Wild Berry Smoothie ($3.99). Since I was sent a gift card, I ordered way more food than I normally would. So, I made plans to meet my friend Amy for lunch and began contemplating my choices. Well, just imagine the joy I felt when I discovered that there is a Panera less than five miles away from my apartment!īack in February, I was contacted about the possibility of writing a blog post about some of the new items that Panera began featuring on their Cafe Menu at the beginning of 2011.

(Yes, I'm serious.) It wasn't long until I began associating going to Panera with going home to visit my family and friends back in Connecticut. When I moved to New York City and away from the suburbs, one of the things I was sad about was not being able to run over to Panera and lose myself in that soup. Like countless others, I was lured in by the hypnotic powers of their Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a Sourdough Bread Bowl. I don't remember exactly when Panera Bread came into my life, but I do remember becoming hooked after my first meal there.
