Baked Goods-Inspired Milkshakes

Panera Bakery Shakes Come in Three Varieties

— November 17, 2022 — Lifestyle
The Panera Bakery Shakes are a new range of milkshakes being test marketed by the brand to offer patrons an alternative way to enjoy some of their favorite bakery items. The shakes come in three options to choose from including the Fudge Brownie Swirl Shake, the Kitchen Sink Shake and the Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl Shake, which are inspired by the Kitchen Sink Cookie, signature brownie and classic strawberry cheesecake, respectively. The shakes each feature real pieces of dessert blended into the recipe to give them the perfect level of textural sweetness.

The Panera Bakery Shakes are arriving now at select locations for testing and could be launching on wider scale in the spring of 2023 if successful.
