Customize Menu Item To Replicate Discontinued Favorite
Even if your favorite Panera meal is off of the actual menu, you may still be able to get it. For instance, some menu items or secret menu items like the Power Mediterranean Roasted Turkey Salad are discontinued. However, you can order a Seasonal Greens Salad from Panera and add toppings that you know Panera has to closely, or exactly, replicate your favorite dish.

According to a Panera Bread Shift Supervisor, thanks to Hack the Menu's comment section, customizing your meals is the way to go. This tip especially applies when you try to order discontinued hidden menu items. "You can still order most if not all of them. They're all regular ingredients," the shift supervisor says. "Just customize the salad to make which one you want!!"
If you don't want to stick to your old favorites and want to try something new, rest assured that Panera's menu is always changing. According a Panera Instagram post, kids can now order anything off the adult menu in half the portion size. This change can also help adults who are trying to watch their diets. Panera's founder Ron Shaich agrees, "I can tell you I would happily live off our kids menu."
