Recommendation

Great for a Refreshing Balance: If you’re looking for a classic, refreshing beverage to cut through the richness of Panda Express’ savory meals, Minute Maid Lemonade is a solid choice. Its tartness and sweetness make it an ideal complement to rich and flavorful dishes like Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, or Beijing Beef.

Moderation: While delicious, Minute Maid Lemonade is high in sugar, with around 50g of sugar per 16 oz serving. If you’re watching your calorie or sugar intake, consider opting for a smaller size, or pair it with lighter meal options. You can also ask for a reduced-sugar option, if available at your Panda Express location.

Please Note: Prices may vary by location, size, and local pricing policies. Generally, you can expect it for a standard size. For the most accurate pricing, it’s best to check the Panda Express Mobile App or visit a local store.
