Weight Watchers Smart Ones Smart Beginnings English Muffin Sandwich with Turkey Sausage, Waffles with Turkey Sausage, Pancakes with Turkey Sausage, and Three Cheese Omelet
There's a bunch of new frozen breakfasts to choose from, all with great stats. In addition to the three turkey-sausage options, there's a meatless Three Cheese Omelet with a side of hash browns. The waffles and pancakes even include sides of syrup. Perfect. Nice work, WW!
Each serving has 210 - 280 calories, 6 - 8g fat, 18 - 44g carbs, 2 - 3g fiber, 11 - 16g protein, and a
PointsPlus® value of 5 - 7.
Cedarlane All Natural Garden Vegetable & Mozzarella and Broccoli Cheddar Egg White Omelettes
This company makes one of my all-time favorite frozen breakfasts (the Green Chile, Cheese & Ranchero Sauce Egg White Omelette), and I always have room in my freezer for more Cedarlane deliciousness. My latest finds? Two new egg-white omelettes:
Garden Vegetable & Mozzarella and Broccoli Cheddar — perfect for people who like their morning meals on the mild side.
Each omelette has 230 - 260 calories, 8 - 11g fat, 13 - 16g carbs, 1 - 2g fiber, 23g protein, and a PointsPlus value of 6.
Good Food Made Simple Egg Patties Made with Egg Whites
I know it's not a lot of work whipping up egg whites, but these frozen patties are amazing — and so super-simple. They're perfect for creating guilt-free breakfast sandwiches or topping with omelette fixins. Also check out the company's delicious heat 'n eat oatmeal bowls!
Each patty has 35 calories, 0g fat, 2g carbs, 0g fiber, 6g protein, and a PointsPlus value of 1.
Van's Natural Foods 8 Whole Grains English Muffins, 8 Whole Grains Multigrain Pancakes, and Power Grains Waffles
Van's has a whole slew of new frozen stuff to make your mornings easier, and I'm all about having lots of quick options. The Power Grains Waffles are especially impressive, with a whopping 10g protein per serving, and they're made with good-for-you stuff like steel-cut oats and brown rice. Nice!
Each serving (1 muffin, 2 pancakes, or 2 waffles) has 130 - 180 calories, 1.5 - 5g fat, 23 - 34g carbs, 2 - 6g fiber, 4 - 10g protein, and a PointsPlus value of 3 - 5.
Quaker Whole Hearts Original Cereal
Heart-shaped cereal with rockin' stats? Yay! It tastes great, too: a little oaty and slightly sweet, with a hint of toasty flavor. And again — this cereal is shaped like little hearts! SO CUTE!
Each 3/4-cup serving has 110 calories, 1.5g fat, 23g carbs, 3g fiber, 2g protein, and a PointsPlus value of 3.
Starbucks VIA Ready Brew Veranda Blend Blonde Instant Coffee
This newish light roast from Starbucks is pretty much the most amazing coffee ever, and it's my new morning obsession. These packets are also easy to pack or keep in your purse, which is great if you're on the go... Instant (coffee) gratification!
Each packet has 0 calories, 0g fat, 0g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g protein, and a PointsPlus value of 0.
