Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites Now in Canada

Starting today, Starbucks Canada has a new item to make your breakfast-on-the-go even more healthy.  Meet Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites – perfectly cooked, cage-free eggs prepared using the French “sous vide” technique.  The Sous Vide Egg Bites were introduced to the US market last year (I had seen them myself while visiting Seattle) and just became available in Canada today.  I attended a media tasting this morning to try out these non-bread, breakfast goodies.

What is Sous Vide?

Sous-vide (pronounced “soo veed”) means “under vacuum” in French and is a cooking technique where vacuum-sealed food is immersed in water and cooked at a very precise and consistent temperature.  Sous-vide is preferred method because it doesn’t require extra fats and oils.  According to Starbucks, the result of cooking the eggs sous-vide is a creamy, velvety texture with flavour that is rich in flavour.  It’s as if you’re eating something indulgent but you’re not.

My Thoughts on Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites

At first bite, I really loved the texture of the sous vide eggs. They’re wonderfully spongy and creamy which is a good kind of addictive.  Of the two flavours, I enjoyed the Bacon and Gruyere because it was more flavourful.  The taste of cheese was quite prominent and the bacon was appropriately smoky and salty.

Those seeking a healthier , vegetarian option would enjoy the Egg White and Roasted Red Pepper.  It’s a lot lighter in taste due to being made with egg whites only.  From a nutritional standpoint, the Egg White and Roasted Red Pepper also has less fat (7 g vs 22 g) and less sodium (500 g vs 600 g) than the Bacon and Gruyere per serving.

All in all, these new items are tasty, low-carb and high-protein on-the-go breakfast options.  I would gladly order these again as well as recommend them to others.

I want to try the Bacon and Gruyere because they sound delicious and they're a way better alternative than carb filled snacks. They have 19 grams of protein so that is great.
