Nutritional Choice of the Month - August 2008: Morningstar Breakfast patties
If you’re like me, you like to vary what you have for breakfast every now and then. Some days I like eggs and toast with turkey bacon. Other days I enjoy cottage cheese and fruit. A good source of protein that can be included as part of a nutritious breakfast is Morningstar Breakfast Patties. Truth be told, they taste incredible and pair well with egg whites and a cold glass or cranberry or orange juice. The ingredients for the patties are as follows:
TEXTURED VEGETABLE PROTEIN (WHEAT GLUTEN, SOY 
PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE, WATER FOR HYDRATION), EGG WHITES, CORN OIL, SODIUM CASEINATE, MODIFIED TAPIOCA STARCH, CONTAINS TWO PERCENT OR LESS OF LACTOSE, SOYBEAN OIL, HYDROLYZED VEGETABLE PROTEIN (WHEAT GLUTEN, CORN GLUTEN, SOY PROTEIN), AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, SPICES, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, SODIUM PHOSPHATES (TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE, TETRAPYROPHOSPHATE, HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE, MONOPHOSPHATE), SALT, DISODIUM INOSINATE, CARAMEL COLOR, CELLULOSE GUM, WHEY POWDER, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, MALTODEXTRIN, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, DEXTROSE, ONION POWDER, DISODIUM GUANYLATE, VITAMINS AND MINERALS (NIACINAMIDE, IRON [FERROUS SULFATE], THIAMIN MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE [VITAMIN B6], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], VITAMIN B12), SUCCINIC ACID, ASCORBIC ACID, LACTIC ACID, BREWERS YEAST, TORULA YEAST, SOY LECITHIN.
The nutritional highlights for this month’s recommendation (per serving: 1 pattie) are as follows:
- Only 0.5 grams of saturated fat
- 10 grams of protein
