SouthWestern Style Egg Beaters Review

I have been using plain Egg Beaters to make omelette's and scrambled eggs for a while because it's a healthy way to reduce calories. You can add any vegetables, spices, and herbs that you want to make your breakfast even more delicious. Still, the allure and convenience of pre-seasoned Eggbeaters was too much to pass up, so I decided to make my morning scramble with Southwestern Style Egg Beaters.

I poured them into my pan and liked what I saw: a nice orange tinge, and lots of bell peppers and onion bits floating around. I quickly whipped up some scrambled eggs and took a bite which unfortunately turned out to be decidedly underwhelming. While these Egg Beaters had a peppery heat to them, there wasn't enough of other spices which left it tasting very bland. No smoky cumin, earthy cilantro, or any other flavors indicative of South-Western type foods. It also needed more salt than normal Eggbeaters since the flavor was flat without it.

The nutrition facts for a serving of South-Western Eggbeaters are impressive with only 35 calories, no fat, low sodium (115 grams), 1 gram of total carbohydrate and 6 grams of protein. Compare that a whole egg, which has 75 calories but 70% of the recommended daily amount of cholesterol (read the review).

So you really can't go wrong nutritionally in eating them - enjoying them is a different matter. If you want to actually taste those vegetables, herbs, and spices, then you'll need to add them yourself, because they're not in the South-Western Egg Beaters otherwise. And $2.00 for a pint, it's certainly not worth it. I love adding my own vegetables, herbs, and spices to regular Egg Beaters and I will just continue to do just that.
