15 Orders Under 10g Net Carbs
Panera is a bread company. That makes it the last place you would expect to eat on keto. But their app customization lets you strip the carbs out of almost anything on the menu. This guide covers 15 reliable keto orders with real net carb counts, protein numbers, prices, and exactly how to order each one.

Keto Orders
Under 10g
Net Carbs
35g+
Max Protein
Remove the bread. Every Panera sandwich can be ordered as a bowl or on lettuce through the Panera app. This single change drops 30 to 50g carbs instantly. After that, skip croutons, tortilla strips, and sugary dressings. Stick to oil and vinegar, Caesar, or Green Goddess dressing. That is the entire strategy.
These are the most reliable keto orders on the Panera menu. Each one is under 10g net carbs, packs real protein, and can be ordered exactly as described through the app with no special requests needed.
$10.29 Lowest Carb Romaine, parmesan, grilled chicken, and Caesar dressing. The safest keto salad at Panera. Remove croutons and you are at 4g net carbs.
$8.99 Best Price Feta, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pepperoncini. Naturally low carb and very satisfying. Add chicken for extra protein.
$10.49 High Protein Chicken, bacon, avocado, egg, and pickled onion. Remove the corn and this is a keto powerhouse with 35g protein in one bowl.
$10.29 No Bread Turkey, avocado, bacon, lettuce, and tomato ordered as a bowl. High healthy fat from avocado. Excellent macro balance for keto.
$6.79 Breakfast Scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheddar. Skip the ciabatta and it becomes a 3g net carb keto breakfast. Best morning option.
$9.49 Light Tuna salad on a bed of lettuce with tomato. One of the lowest carb options when you remove the bread. Clean protein source.
Every item on the Panera menu that can be modified to under 10g net carbs. All carb counts are net carbs (total carbs minus fiber). Prices from June 2026.

Net carbs = total carbs minus fiber. Based on Panera published nutrition data June 2026.
These popular Panera items will blow your entire daily carb budget in a single serving. Even items that look healthy can be loaded with hidden carbs from flour, sugar, or grains.
Cream base with flour thickener. Even a small cup pushes past strict keto limits. Most Panera soups have this same problem.
Pasta and cheese sauce. One of the highest carb items on the entire Panera menu. No modification can make this keto.
Loaded with sugar in every size. Even the small will knock you out of ketosis instantly. Switch to unsweetened coffee or tea.
Pure refined flour and sugar. There is no way to modify these. They are off limits for keto entirely.
The rice and farro base adds 25g carbs on its own. Must remove grains completely or avoid.
Natural sugar from the yogurt plus the berries makes this too high for strict keto. Looks healthy but it is not keto friendly.
These four drinks have zero carbs and zero sugar. All four are included in the Unlimited Sip Club at $14.99 per month, which means free unlimited drinks every visit.
Black or with heavy cream. Avoid sweetened creamers. Add butter for bulletproof style.
Ask for no syrup and no sweetener. Add a splash of heavy cream if available.
Any variety. Green, black, and herbal are all zero carb. No sugar.
Available at the self-serve station. Skip the sweetened versions. Zero calories.
Avoid Charged Lemonades (28 to 40g sugar), regular lemonade, and fountain sodas. They will end your ketosis.
The Panera app gives you full control over customization. Here is exactly how to build a keto order from start to finish.
Download the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Create an account or sign in. Select your nearest location for Rapid Pick Up or dine in.
Start with any sandwich or salad. For the lowest carbs, start with the Caesar Salad, Greek Salad, or any sandwich you want to convert to a bowl.
Remove bread from sandwiches (converts to a bowl). Remove croutons from salads. Remove corn, wontons, or tortilla strips if present. Swap sweet dressings for oil and vinegar or Caesar.
Add grilled chicken for an extra 20 to 30g protein (only 1 to 2g additional carbs). Add avocado for $1.50 for healthy fat that keeps you full longer.
Check your cart. Net carbs should be under 10g. Choose your keto-safe drink (black coffee or unsweetened tea). Place the order for Rapid Pick Up.
If you eat at Panera more than once a week on keto, these habits will save time and keep you on track without having to think about it.
Build your perfect keto salad once, save it as a favorite, and reorder in seconds next time. The app remembers all your customizations.
Avocado adds 1g net carb and 15g healthy fat. It makes any salad or bowl more filling and helps you hit your daily fat target without effort.
Order double grilled chicken on any salad. It adds only 1 to 2g carbs but doubles your protein from 15g to 30g+. Worth the extra cost.
The $14.99 per month Sip Club gives you unlimited free coffee and unsweetened tea. That is 4 zero carb drinks every visit. It pays for itself in 2 visits.
Even keto-safe dressings like Caesar can add up when poured generously. Ordering on the side gives you control over how much you use.

Common questions about eating keto at Panera Bread in 2026.
Panera does not label any menu section as keto. But their customization system lets you remove bread, swap to lettuce wraps, and build low carb bowls. At least 15 items can be made keto friendly with under 10g net carbs using standard modifications available on the app or kiosk.
A Caesar Salad with chicken and no croutons comes in at approximately 4g net carbs. The Greek Salad without croutons is about 6g net carbs. For breakfast, the Bacon Egg and Cheese without the ciabatta drops to about 3g net carbs. These are your safest picks for strict keto.
Yes. The app and kiosk let you remove the bread from any sandwich and convert it to a bowl or lettuce wrap. The ingredients stay the same. You save 30 to 50g carbs by skipping the bread. This is the single most important keto hack at Panera.
Most are not. Broccoli Cheddar has about 16g carbs per cup. The lowest carb soup is Chicken Noodle at around 12g net carbs, but the noodles contribute most of that. In general, Panera soups are not ideal for strict keto. Stick to salads and protein focused orders.
Not as is. The standard Mediterranean Bowl with Chicken has about 35g net carbs due to the rice and farro. However, if you remove the grains and add extra vegetables, it drops to roughly 12g net carbs. You lose the base but keep the protein and flavor.
Yes. A Greek Salad without croutons is $8.99. The Caesar Salad with chicken and no croutons is $10.29. The cheapest keto option is a side of Scrambled Eggs with bacon at around $5 to $6 through the breakfast customization. Pair any salad with a free Sip Club drink and you stay under budget.
Hot coffee has 0g carbs, iced coffee unsweetened has 0g carbs, hot tea has 0g carbs, and iced tea unsweetened has 0g carbs. All are included in the Sip Club. Avoid the Charged Lemonades which have 28 to 40g sugar each and fountain drinks. The self serve station has zero calorie options with the unsweetened teas.
Not as a standard menu option, but you can request any sandwich filling on a bed of lettuce. Use the app customization to remove bread and select no bread or request a bowl format. The result is the same filling served as a salad, which works for keto.
The egg souffles are moderate at 13 to 16g carbs due to the pastry shell. A better keto breakfast is the Bacon Scrambled Egg and Cheese ordered without the ciabatta. That drops to about 3g net carbs. Add avocado for extra fat. The Greek Yogurt bowl is too high in sugar for strict keto.
Panera publishes full nutrition data including total carbs, fiber, and sugar for every menu item. Their numbers are generally reliable. For keto tracking, calculate net carbs as total carbs minus fiber. Our numbers in this guide use Panera official data with modifications accounted for.
Skip the bread. Keep the flavor. 15 options under 10g net carbs are waiting in the Panera app right now.
