Panera Pink Ribbon Bagel

I love October for many reasons, but one of them is that everyone seems to turn “pink” in trying to raise awareness and proceeds for very important cancer research. I was recently in Chicago and it seemed like the whole city was pink! Storefronts had pink displays, special pink confections were sold at eateries, and even a couple buildings lit up pink in the night sky!!

But Panera has one of my favorite limited edition treats – a Pink Ribbon Bagel made with cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar. I recommend ordering it toasted with hazelnut cream cheese. Not only is it sweet and savory and delicious, but a portion of proceeds go to benefit breast cancer charities. Now that’s a sweet deal.

The Panera Pink Ribbon Bagel is only available during the month of October, so hurry in if you’d like to try it.
