Tim Hortons recently added Beyond Meat’s meatless sausage breakfast sandwiches to its menu and it is also planning to expand its plant-based breakfast food options with an entirely plant-based egg option. While there are plenty of vegetarian consumers who eat eggs, and happily do so on their breakfast sandwiches, others who follow a strict vegan or plant-based eating protocol opt for eggless options. This new offering from Tim Hortons, prepared with the JUST Egg, is set to help meet the demand for plant-based protein sources.
Select Tim Hortons locations in Canada will be substituting regular chicken eggs for the vegan-friendly JUST Egg, which is prepared entirely from plant-powered ingredients like mung beans. If successful, the chain has stated that it may even "consider expanding plant-based options into other menu items."
