Customizations: If you’re watching your calorie or sugar intake, you can ask to reduce the sweetness or go for a smaller serving size.

Pomegranate Pineapple Flavored Lemonade from Panda Express is a sweet, refreshing option with tropical flavors, though it’s high in sugar and calories. It’s an enjoyable drink for those craving a fruity and tangy beverage, but it’s important to keep an eye on portion sizes and sugar content if you’re mindful of your diet.
