Jimmy Dean D-lights Turkey Sausagae Whole Grain Bagel
Where purchased: Meijer
Price: $5.99
Overall rating: 3/5
I picked these up by recommendation of one of my readers. She told me about the english muffin sandwiches, but I decided to try these whole wheat bagel sandwiches instead. I was a little against the idea at first, as I'm really not into buying frozen convenience foods. They are typically overpriced and loaded with salt and preservatives, so I'd rather just make my own fresh version. But, I do think this product fills a need in the market for a quick, well-balanced, and low fat/calorie breakfast with plenty of protein. I can easily see grabbing this sandwich "to go" and eating it on the way to work, or just taking it out of the fridge or freezer and heating it up in the office microwave.
To enjoy this sandwich, you'll have to be a fan of breakfast sausage. The sausage tastes just like the real pork version - full of seasonings and flavor. The only thing you will "miss" from the full fat version is the grease. I personally like the flavor; though I would prefer a larger presence from the egg and cheese. They did not seem to contribute much to the overall taste. The bagel was good, but the microwave made it a little chewy. I imagine the english muffin would hold up a little better.
Overall, I found this product to be good, filling, convenient, and well-balanced when paired with some fruit. It is nothing special, but it definitely beats the fast food sandwich in fat and calorie content, and certainly beats an on-the-go granola bar in balance and satiety. I thought $6 was too much to pay for four sandwiches, so be on the lookout for sales and coupons if you think these might be a good option for you. And hey, maybe most of the time you are able to make a good breakfast, but you can always keep these in your freezer for those crazy mornings where you just have to grab and go!
