Its refreshing, fruity flavor pairs well with the savory and sometimes spicy dishes on Panda Express’ menu, like Orange Chicken or Kung Pao Chicken, balancing the richness of the food.
Moderation: While this drink is delicious, it’s also high in sugar (about 50g per 16 oz serving). If you’re watching your calorie or sugar intake, it’s best to enjoy it in moderation or opt for a smaller size. If you prefer, you can also ask to reduce the sweetness, which some locations may accommodate.
The Watermelon Mango Flavored Refresher is a flavorful, tropical option at Panda Express that can be a fun, refreshing complement to your meal. However, its high sugar content means it should be consumed thoughtfully, especially if you’re managing sugar levels or mindful of your overall calorie intake. It’s a treat that adds a burst of freshness but is best enjoyed in moderation!.
