A Panera Bread location recently opened near my home in Forest Hills. While visiting there, I was inspired to create a copycat mango smoothie from Panera recipe. Restaurants and shops are constantly popping up in my area, so that is nothing new. However, I have constantly heard friends rave about Panera\u2019s food and drinks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had thoroughly enjoyed a baking event that I attended with one of their chefs last year.\u00a0 After the event, I immediately went online to look at their menu to see if a visit would be worth my time.\u00a0 After looking at the bakery and cafe menus, a trip is definitely in my near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While browsing around the Panera menu, I saw many things that I would buy \u2013 especially the baked goods since I only like to bake on special occasions.\u00a0 However, there were several things on the menu that made me think, \u201cOh, that would be easier and less expensive to make at home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their \u201cLow-fat Mango Smoothie\u201d falls in the latter category.\u00a0 Right now, I\u2019m obsessed with mangoes.\u00a0 I have been having mango and orange juice smoothies for breakfast since Serena put smoothies in my head.\u00a0 (I just blend together 1 cup of chopped mango, 1 cup of orange juice and 1 cup of ice until it reaches my desired consistency.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mangoes are very plentiful and inexpensive during the summer, so it is less costly to make my own mango smoothies at home.\u00a0Right now, they are 99 cents per mango\/50 cents per smoothie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loving research the way that I do, I found a 2009 video of a Panera Bread representative making a low-fat strawberry smoothie. *The video is no longer available but I found the archived recipe on the abc7chicago.com site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t really care for strawberry smoothies, so here\u2019s what I think would be included in their Low-fat Mango Smoothie\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n
