Agave-Sweetened Lemonades

One of Panera Bread's New Craft Beverages is Naturally Sweetened

— May 6, 2017 — Lifestyle
Some of the newest additions to Panera Bread's craft beverages menu for the spring season include a Passion Papaya Green Tea and a naturally sweetened Agave Lemonade.

The refreshing new lemonade beverage is made with just a few simple ingredients, including: cold-pressed lemon juice, dried cane syrup, water and agave nectar. The introduction of this new craft beverage is part of Panera Bread's commitment to providing clean options with a focus on transparency, particularly when it comes to the use of sugar and alternative sweeteners.

Health-conscious consumers who are looking to reduce or remove refined sugars from their diets are seeking flavorful natural sweetener replacements such as stevia, monk fruit, honey, dates or maple syrup.
Trend Themes
1. Clean Beverage Options - Crafting naturally sweetened beverages with clean and simple ingredients, like agave nectar, caters to health-conscious consumers seeking alternatives to refined sugars.
2. Transparent Sugar Usage - Providing clarity on the use of sugar and alternative sweeteners in craft beverages demonstrates Panera Bread's commitment to transparency and appeals to consumers looking for more information about their food and beverage choices.
3. Natural Sweetener Alternatives - The growing demand for flavorful natural sweetener alternatives, such as stevia, monk fruit, honey, dates, or maple syrup, presents an opportunity for innovative beverage products that meet the needs of sugar-conscious consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage Manufacturing - Beverage manufacturers can explore the use of agave nectar and other natural sweeteners to create craft beverages that cater to health-conscious consumers seeking clean and transparent options.
2. Healthy Food and Beverage Retail - Retailers specializing in healthy food and beverages can capitalize on the trend of clean beverage options by stocking products that offer natural sweetener alternatives and promote transparency in ingredient usage.
3. Alternative Sweetener Suppliers - Suppliers of natural sweeteners such as stevia, monk fruit, honey, dates, and maple syrup can leverage the increasing demand for their products by partnering with beverage manufacturers and retailers to provide clean and naturally-sweetened beverage options.
