\"Life<\/p>\n

What are Life Cuisine Egg Bites?<\/h3>\n

The Life Cuisine brand (from Nestl\u00e9, who makes Lean Cuisine) was launched earlier this year to cater to \u201cevery lifestyle\u201d with low carb, meatless, high protein, and gluten free options.<\/p>\n

These egg bites are part of the low carb lineup and the only traditional breakfast items in the entire Life Cuisine<\/a> line (although I would eat the gluten-free pizzas or the high protein taco bowl for breakfast). These sous vide egg bites come in two varieties: 1) Tomato & Spinach Egg White (also comes with mozzarella) and 2) Uncured Turkey Bacon & Aged White Cheddar (also comes with cottage cheese).<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

\"Life<\/p>\n

\"Life<\/p>\n

Most frozen products don\u2019t look particularly appetizing when pulled from the freezer and the same goes for these frozen mounds. After being prepared for two minutes in the microwave, the aesthetics of the product do not increase as the egg bites keep their shape, but do puff out a little. The puff foreshadows their fluffy and light taste, which is consistent with what one might expect from a sous vide-prepared product. <\/p>\n

Both varieties have predominantly an egg taste with a hint of other flavors.<\/p>\n

\"Life<\/p>\n

The Tomato & Spinach Egg White one naturally lacks some of the creaminess that yolk provides. I could faintly taste the tomato and spinach, but there is not nearly as much tomato and spinach as shown on the box, which is a little misleading. However, the mozzarella cheese does come through. I would also add more pepper and salt to this one. <\/p>\n

\"Life<\/p>\n

The turkey bacon in the other variety is prevalent, which also adds some saltiness. This one is higher in calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium (see nutrition facts below). There’s more bacon and cheese in this egg bite and they’re better distributed, which results in a slightly more flavorful product.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

These are light tasting products, which is a nice way to start your day if you are eating these for breakfast. After eating two of them (one of each variety), I thought I might need to supplement my breakfast, but I was surprisingly not hungry. Thanks, protein! <\/p>\n

However, it should be noted that I am a smaller-framed individual and I can definitely see others needing more than two egg bites or adding items to their breakfast to feel satisfied.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Life Cuisine Egg Bites do the trick if you are looking for a light and adequate tasting, quick, easy, and relatively healthy breakfast. At the same time, you can probably also just scramble an egg.<\/p>\n
