With Sweet Earth’s Functional Breakfast line of breakfast burritos, vegetarians have no shortage of options for quick frozen breakfast.
The Protein Lover’s Breakfast Burrito is a hearty beast, thanks in part to the egg white and savory grounds that make up a substantial portion of this dish. In our mouths it felt like a thick chili. While carnivorous meat enthusiasts won’t be so easily tricked, the casual meat eater might forget this is a vegetarian burrito.
There’s also some red quinoa, which lends a very pleasant texture to the mix, and some chunks of bell peppers for a nice vegetable crunch. And then there’s Sweet Earth’s “benevolent bacon,” or vegetarian-friendly faux bacon, which adds some flavor, especially with the hint of sweetness provided by the maple syrup. However, this is a flavor that fades quickly rather than lingers, and it had us immediately craving another bite as soon as the last one was swallowed.
All this filling comes in a flax seed wrap for an interesting twist on the classic breakfast burrito–a twist we enthusiastically approve of.
The Protein Lover’s Breakfast Burrito isn’t perfect, but it’s a great way to start the morning–especially for vegetarians craving something a little heartier than many traditional vegetarian options.
