Run to Dunkin for a spicy plant-based food breakfast sandwich

Dunkin adds Southwest Veggie Power Breakfast Sandwich.

The new Southwest Veggie Power Breakfast Sandwich is another reason to start your day with Dunkin. As a new year begins, many people look to make food changes. From Meatless Mondays to the flexitarian lifestyle, plant-based food menu options are on the rise. Dunkin’s new menu item looks to set itself apart from the crowd.

The new Southwest Veggie Power Breakfast Sandwich brings bold flavor to the table. Featuring the MorningStar Farms Black Bean Patty, the ingredient choice adds a depth of flavor to the breakfast sandwich.

Dara Schuster, Senior Director of Marketing, Plant Based Protein at Kellogg Company said, “The sandwich has a kick of heat from the MorningStar Farms Black Bean Patty, offering a flavorful breakfast sandwich that packs 26 grams of protein and celebrates real recognizable ingredients. Flexitarian eating is on the rise and we’re thrilled to deliver new menu items that can satisfy everyone.”

While Dunkin previously offered the Beyond Sausage Breakfast Sandwich, this new menu offering brings some approachable spice to the breakfast sandwich and is loaded with other nutrient dense ingredients. From spinach and bell peppers to aged white cheddar cheese, the breakfast sandwich features 26 grams of protein. It could keep you fueled all morning long.

As consumers want more plant-based food options, menus need to expand. More importantly, the menu choices need to offer flavors and food combinations that set themselves apart from other offerings. The new Dunkin breakfast sandwich seems to set that tone.

With the recent new coffee additions, it shows that Dunkin is making a point to focus on flavor. From robust coffee to this new breakfast sandwich, it seems that Dunkin is running toward bold flavors while still keeping food trends in mind. A plant-based food menu can deliver both.

What do you think will be the next food menu trend? Will it have you running to Dunkin?
