Start Your Day with a Protein-Packed Breakfast from Jimmy Dean Delights + Giveaway

Mornings are not my friend.   If you’re polite, you might say I’m very groggy in the mornings, but if you call it like you see it, you’ll say I’m a zombie.  It’s just the way of things around here.  So needless to say, breakfast is not a meal I eat very often.  If I have time to cook, I’m too sleepy to bother, and if I’m in a hurry, I just rush out and sacrifice the meal.

In honor of March being both National Nutrition Month and Frozen Food Month, we have a yummy and better-for-you frozen breakfast option to tell you about today:  Jimmy Dean’s newest breakfast sandwich.

Behold, Jimmy Dean’s Delights Applewood Smoke Chicken Sausage, Egg Whites, & Cheese English Muffin sandwich!

This English Muffin is seriously tasty.  Frozen food really has improved, and I’m glad I decided to give it a second chance.  There are still some second-rate items out there, but there are also options that taste good and are good for you.  Like this sandwich.  Seriously.

I really love this 100% chicken sausage.  It’s a healthier alternative to traditional sausage, and the Applewood Smoke flavor really gives it something special and takes it way beyond what I expected from frozen sausage.  The egg portion, as the name suggests, is egg white only, which I really like.  I’m not crazy about the flavor of egg yolks.  And the cheese?  Delicious sharp American that tops everything off nicely.

The best part of this sandwich for me is the nutritional content.  It tastes like a 500 calorie sandwich but it’s only 250 calories!  It’s also low in sugar and has 17 grams of protein.  I especially love food with a good amount of protein at breakfast, because it helps me feel full throughout the entire morning. (Read how eating protein for breakfast can keep you slim!)  And since the sandwich is low in calories, you can also feel free to add fruits or other proteins to your breakfast and not feel guilty about it.
