In certain corners of the internet, the arrival of a new Trader Joe’s item is practically a bank holiday, and we get it. After all, the store isconstantly dropping new itemsthat make us want to reschedule our grocery run for, um, right now. And while not everything at TJ’s is a totally healthy choice, they offer tons of frozen dinners, snacks and out-of-the-box ingredients thathave our dietitians' approval.
Trader Joe’s reviewer Kelsey Lynchgave the sandwiches a score of 8/10, but also noted that she could’ve eaten two of the sandwiches, even though a single sandwich is the recommended serving size. Each sandwich has 190 calories, 3 grams of carbs and less than 1 gram of sugar per serving.
Our assistant nutrition editor, Jessica Ball, M.S. RD, had a few thoughts on the product, too. “The Eggwich is high in protein which will help keep you full, but it is lacking in the fiber and nutrients that would come with choosing a whole-grain bread or english muffin instead. Plus, it is very high in sodium, so it is best for an on-the-go meal in a pinch rather than every day.” The Eggwich Breadless Breakfast Sandwich also has no fiber, so you might want to pair it with some apple slices or raspberries for more staying power. Bonus points for choosing fruit that ups your potassium intake to helpbalance out all of the sodium.
If the nutritional value of the new Trader Joe’s Eggwich has you on the fence, we have a fewhigh-protein, low-carb breakfast ideasto try instead. Our super-simple3-Ingredient Bell Pepper & Cheese Egg Cupscan be made ahead, so you can reheat them in the morning for a gluten-free (and vegetarian!) breakfast that has nearly half as much sodium as an Eggwich. And if you’re looking for a grab & go portable breakfast option, try ourLow-Carb Bacon & Broccoli Egg BurritoorEasy Loaded Baked Omelet Muffins.
