What to Order at Pret A Manger for High Cholesterol

Pret is grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, and soups — easy to keep heart-smart if you steer toward the lean-protein and vegetable options and away from the buttery baguettes, cheese, and mayo-heavy fillings.

What to look for at Pret

Watch the cheese, bacon, mayo-based fillings, buttery baguettes, and pastries/croissants. Lean on broth- and vegetable-based soups, lean-protein salads, and whole-grain sandwiches with lighter fillings.

Heart-smart picks

• A vegetable or lentil soup — high fiber, broth-based, filling.

• A lean-protein salad (chicken, tuna without heavy mayo, chickpea/veg) with dressing on the side.

• A whole-grain sandwich or wrap with turkey, chicken, or veg — hummus or avocado instead of mayo.

• Fresh fruit or a fruit pot instead of a pastry.

Solid runners-up

• Soup + a side salad combo.

• A veggie/hummus wrap, easy on cheese.

What to skip

• Buttery baguettes and croissants, and the pastry case.

• Cheese- and bacon-heavy sandwiches and mayo-loaded fillings.

• Sweetened blended drinks — go coffee with a splash of low-fat/plant milk.

Quick tips

Broth- or bean-based soup, a lean-protein salad or whole-grain sandwich, hummus/avocado over mayo, fruit over pastry. A calm, heart-smart grab-and-go lunch.
