Panera Bread offers [healthy breakfast options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandys-morning-club-1) for people on-the-go.

Many people lack the time to make breakfast at home, and are wary of purchasing their morning meals from fast food eateries. Deceptive marketing has people believing that some offerings are "healthier" than others, but this is usually not the case. The ideal breakfast should be under 500 calories, and offer 30 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber from whole grains. Saturated fats, added sugars and sodium are a no-no.

Luckily, the Panera Bread menu has several options that more or less adhere to these guidelines, including the 420-cal Avocado, Egg White and Spinach Breakfast Power Sandwich, the [high-fiber Power Almond Quinoa Oatmeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatmeal-bowls) and the [high-protein Power Breakfast Egg White Bowl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banquet-mega-breakfast-bowl) with Roasted Turkey.
