Smart Ones says: With Egg Whites, Cheese, Turkey Bacon and Vegetables

Liza says: Boy, that Gratuitous Caps disease is spreading like wildfire, isn’t it? I’m going to start knocking off a point every time the box blurb capitalizes the first letter in everything, just to be a snooty-snoot. I swear to God, it’s only a matter of time before products start incorporating text-message abbreviations and LOL-speak: “OMFG! DIS A RILLY GUD SANWCH!1! U SHUD BY IT KTHXBAI!”

Nah, I’m going to leave my rating at a three, which for me means “I would not go out of my way to eat this again, nor would I go out of my way to avoid eating this again. It was what it said it was–nothing more; possibly a wee bit less. It was, in short, oh-kay.”

So moving right along to the product, let me first say that this item is a pocket sandwich of sorts; the filling is completely enclosed by a crust, which strives to be more of a pastry-type crust and is lighter in texture than your typical Hot Pocket. The crisping sleeve actually seemed to have some effect on this product and resulted in a relatively flaky crust. Enough so, that should you choose to eat this little breakfast bundle on your way to work, you might want to check yourself for errant flecks of crust before making your grand entrance to that morning meeting.

Unlike the Lean Pockets breakfast sandwiches–which I’ll be getting to at some point in the not-too-distant-future– the Smart Ones Stuffed Breakfast Sandwich purports to have vegetables in addition to eggs and bacon. I was able to immediately discern bits of both green and red peppers in the mix, giving the filling a vaguely jaunty Denver Omelet-ish flavor. The egg whites and chopped turkey bacon were not voluminous enough to warrant the title of “stuffed” for this sandwich, though. It was more like a “Eh…Mostly Filled Breakfast Sandwich”, if you ask me.

Honestly, all they need to do is add another few tablespoons of filling OR stop calling it “Stuffed”. In the meantime, if I were choosing a frozen breakfast product, I’d probably stick with their English muffin sandwich for now. Still–the eggs, turkey bacon and cheese all tasted real enough, and not chemically or lethally salty. Let’s put it this way: if you can’t face another bowl of Kashi in the morning, or if you’ve have had it up to here with fat-free yogurt and granola, this would be a quick, hot, savory alternative. It may be nothing to write home about, but add a little hot sauce and it’s really pretty oh-kay.

Oh, I LOVE these! They get a full five stars as far as I’m concerned. Just enough for a light yet still filling breakfast, which is quite a feat considering most egg/cheese based frozen breakfast sandwiches are mediocre, as far as I’m concerned.

In fact, I love them enough that I won’t eat them every day. Maybe once or twice a week or for a nice leisurely weekend morning breakfast.

I love the Smart Ones breakfast quesadillas, so I figured these would be good. Yuck! I will never buy these again. Mushy, flavoreless pockets of chewy dough.

I LOVE these! I usually stock up on them and leave them in the freezer at work. It’s a quick, easy breakfast with a piece of fruit and I find them quite tasty - definately more edible than the english muffin sandwiches. I give them 5 stars too.
