Panera Bread to Offer More Plant-Based Proteins

With more than 1,800 locations nationwide, Panera Bread is
one of the country’s largest chain restaurants. That’s why Panera’s growing
interest in plant-based protein options is so exciting.

“We know that guests are increasingly seeking plant-based
proteins for personal health reasons and/or to reduce their environmental
impact, said Sara Burnett, Panera’s director of wellness and food policy, in a
recent Fortune article. Among
the new possible menu additions? Edamame and quinoa.

But consumers aren’t only looking to improve their health
and safeguard the environment; many are also waking up to the harsh
reality animals face on modern-day factory farms. In fact, it’s the reason so many people forgo animal products entirely
in favor of a truly humane vegan diet.

Panera isn’t the only restaurant that’s taken notice. A slew
of national chains, including Chipotle, Wendy’s, White Castle, and even Ikea,
has recently started offering new plant-based menu options. Check out this
video on all the delicious vegan offerings at restaurants around the country:

The time has never been better to switch to a healthy,
humane, and environmentally friendly plant-based diet. Learn more at ChooseVeg.com.
