This spring, Au Bon Pain introduced a series of 'Bon To Go Boxes,' which serve as a convenient grab-and-go option for consumers who are looking for quick and easy meals or snacks on the run.
The Bon To Go Boxes include options like Turkey & Swiss, Caprese Chicken and Egg, Veggie & Cheese, as well as bite-sized options like Hummus or Fruit, Egg & Nuts. These meal kits were launched to help busy consumers sate their desire for quick, convenient and well-balanced meals on the go. Options like the Bon To Go Herb Chicken Salad feature a complementary salad and a sandwich pairing.
These Bon To Go Boxes are freshly made daily and are now served across all Au Bon Pain cafes across the United States.
