I was running a bit late this morning, and while I had made my lunch the night before, I didn’t make a breakfast.  I knew I had a $1 off coupon for the new flatbread sandwiches and decided to give it a shot. 

First off, I ordered the Turkey sausage flatbread, and when I got to work I realized that they gave me the veggie one.  My only fear is the onion factor.  Whenever anything is veggie, onions always seem to make their way into it!

thankfully no onions, but the ingredient listed mushrooms, which I didn't taste at all

So how was it?  Just okay.  There was a lot more flatbread to egg white ratio, and if I didn’t have my trust Tabasco sauce it would have been really dry.  The veggie comes in at:

  • 280 calories
  • 9 fat
  • 39 carbs
  • 3 fiber
  • 11 protein

So I am thinking that’s pretty good – I don’t think its worth it without the coupon, and obviously this is something I can make at home.  So I go on their website (mainly to see if there is anything in the onion family in the ingredient list!) and this is what I find is in my simple egg white flatbread sammie:

INGREDIENTS: Ingredients: Multigrain Bread: Enriched Wheat Flour [Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Folic Acid], Water, Whole Wheat Flour, Yeast, Sugar, Brown Flax Seeds, Soybean Oil, Salt, Millet Seed, Dough Conditioners (Calcium Sulfate, Guar Gum, Vegetable Mono and Diglycerides, L-Cysteine, Calcium Peroxide, Enzymes), Park Grains (Oat Flour, Yellow Corn Flour, Rye Flour, Buckwheat Flour, Rice Flour, Spelt Flour, Sesame Seeds, Poppy Seeds), Cracked Whole Wheat, Baking Powder (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate and Monocalcium Phosphate), Non-Fat Milk, Yeast Nutrients (Ammonium Sulfate, Ascorbic Acid, Azodicarbonamide); Egg Patty: Egg Whites, Monterey Jack Cheese [Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes, Potato Starch and Powdered Cellulose (to prevent caking), Natamycin (A Natural Mold Inhibitor)], Diced Green Peppers, Diced Red Peppers, Shredded Potatoes [Potatoes, Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate added to preserve natural color], Swiss Cheese Blend [Swiss Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes) Water, Milkfat, Sodium Phosphate, Lactic Acid, Salt, Sorbic Acid (Preservative), Natural Flavors, Sodium Citrate, Xanthan Gum, Powdered Cellulose (to prevent caking)], Modified Food Starch (Corn), Diced Green Onions, Roasted Mushrooms (Mushrooms, Canola Oil, Salt and Pepper), Cheese Flavor (Maltodextrin, Whey Solids, Natural Cheddar Flavor, Salt), Salt, Natural Flavor, Whole Milk Solids, Soybean Oil, Dextrose with Spice Extractive, Xanthan Gum; Cheddar Cheese: Pasteurized Reduced Fat Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes, Annatto (Vegetable Color), Vitamin A Palmitate.

I didn’t know that so many things were needed for a simple breakfast sandwich!   I see no signs of onions, so I have that going for me!
