About The New Market Bowls
Panera’s Market Bowls look like great options… and they almost are. They’re full of healthy ingredients, but the portions are HEFTY. Even without any toppings, the Herbed Brown Rice base ALONE clocks in with 450–580 calories. Still want one? Here’s our advice:⭑ Think of that bowl as TWO meals, and save half for later.
⭑ Skip whichever heavy toppings feel extraneous to you.
⭑ Get your dressing on the side, and only add what you need.
