The Banquet MEGA Breakfast Bowls are a new series of frozen food items from Conagra Brands Inc. that are crafted to catch the attention of consumers seeking out a satisfying, protein-rich meal option.
The product consists of a tray-in-tray packaging that will keep the sauce separate from the ingredients in the bowl to keep eggs fluffy, proteins juicy and potatoes tender during cooking in the microwave. The bowls contain 30-grams of protein in each and come in four varieties including Meat Lovers, Bacon, Sausage and Sausage & Gravy, which are each packed with flavor.
The Banquet MEGA Breakfast Bowls are arriving at retailers in the US this month to work well for consumers seeking to stave off the chill of winter in a flavorful way.
