"Now Panera is going even farther by launching two entirely new categories of fruit drinks: Frescas and Energy Refreshers. And yes, that means jumping back into the world of energy drinks. The new Panera drinks are joining the lineup on March 11, with both the Frescas and Energy Refreshers coming into two flavors."
"According to Panera, all four drinks are made with high-quality ingredients and infused with real fruit. Energy Refreshers do have caffeine in them, but it's a relatively low amount, with only 28 milligrams in 20-ounce servings and 42 and 44 milligrams in 30-ounce servings respectively."
"The relatively mild amount of caffeine in the Energy Refreshers certainly feels like a reaction to the Charged Lemonade controversy from a few years ago. If you remember, Panera launched a line of caffeinated lemonades back in 2022, only to be faced"
Panera is expanding its beverage offerings by introducing two new drink categories: Frescas and Energy Refreshers, launching March 11. Frescas are caffeine-free options available in cherry lime and strawberry basil lemonade flavors. Energy Refreshers come in pineapple dragonfruit and passionfruit guava orange varieties, containing 28-44 milligrams of caffeine depending on size. All drinks feature high-quality ingredients and real fruit. MyPanera members can receive either drink free with Mix & Match combo orders using code SIPMOMENT through the Panera app or online. The relatively low caffeine content appears designed to address concerns from Panera's previous Charged Lemonade controversy.
