I walked into my local Dunkin’ Donuts and I was a little nervous to try something that was labeled “beyond meat.” However, I was pleasantly surprised. Did you know that you can now buy a plant-based protein alternative there?
The Beyond Sausage® Sandwich was first introduced exclusively in Manhattan in July and quickly became one of the top selling sandwiches. This seemed like a clear indication that the customers really enjoyed the sandwich and were eager for a plant-based protein alternative. Dunkin’ is the first U.S. Quick Service brand to offer a Beyond Sausage® Sandwich. That is a huge step for Quick Service in providing healthier options.
I want to start off my review by stating that I enjoy Dunkin’s original Sausage Sandwich. When I visit my local Dunkin’, that is my go-to order. So, it was understandable that I was nervous about trying something that was plant-based. Recently I have been taking steps to focus on my health and what is best for my family, so I really wanted to find out if the taste of the sandwich measured up to real meat.
The slogan that Dunkin’ is using is perfect. “Great taste. Plant-based.” The Beyond Sausage® Sandwich comes with egg, American cheese and is made on an English muffin. This is similar to the sausage sandwich, but it is completely vegetarian. The sausage patty is plant-based and offers 10 grams of protein.
The sandwich was exceptionally seasoned. I know what you are thinking- Dunkin’ is not really known for their sandwiches and you would be correct. They are mostly known for their coffee and their delicious donuts. However, this Beyond Sausage® Sandwich just changed the game for them!
So, will I continue to order the regular sausage sandwich because I love meat, or will I order the Beyond Sausage® Sandwich? You may be surprised to find out that I would choose the Beyond Sausage® Sandwich. This sandwich makes me want to make healthier choices. I do not have to sacrifice taste in order to accomplish this. Great taste. Plant based. I absolutely agree. Head to your local Dunkin’ to try the Beyond Sausage® Sandwich and see for yourself why I can’t stop raving about it. Thank me later.
Until next time,
XOXO Megan
