Eggo Zero introduces a first-of-its-kind waffle from Eggo, delivering zero grams of added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors in fan-favorite flavors that pack up to 12 grams of complete protein per serving. Dropping in classic varieties like Buttermilk and Blueberry, Eggo Zero Waffles contain all nine essential amino acids in the recommended amounts per gram of protein. Unlike some lower-sugar options that compromise on taste or texture, these promise to deliver the experience fans of all ages have fallen in love with.
