Have you heard about Panera Bread’s hidden menu? Word on the street (and on the Panera Bread website) is that there is a hidden menu that has several additional gluten-free menu items on it. The menu isn’t labeled as a “gluten-free menu”, but as a “Power” menu. Coincidentally all of the items on the menu are gluten-free.

The menu offers both breakfast and lunch/dinner options.
Breakfast:
Power Breakfast Egg White Bowl with Roasted Turkey
Power Breakfast Egg White Bowl with Steak
Lunch/Dinner:
Power Mediterranean Chicken Salad
Power Mediterranean Roasted Turkey Salad
Power Chicken Hummus Bowl
Power Steak Lettuce Wraps
I haven’t been in to try the new Hidden Menu items yet, but plan to in the next week. I received a gift card last month for my birthday to Panera, so now is a great time to use that! In addition to the menu items on the Hidden Menu, Panera Bread also offers a wide variety of gluten-free menu choices. I especially enjoy the Chai Tea Latte on a cold rainy or snowy day while catching up on my blogging.
Panera Bread has locations across the US. As with any restaurant that is not 100% gluten-free, there is a risk of cross-contamination. In order to lessen that risk, make sure to touch base with the manager-on-duty so that he or she can follow your order and ensure that proper procedures are followed. I have had a lot of success dining at Panera Bread in the past and look forward to trying some of the new items!
