“Flexitarian eating is on the rise and we’re thrilled to deliver new menu items that can satisfy everyone.”

Dunkin’ has added another plant-based breakfast sandwich to its menu by launching the new Southwest Veggie Power Breakfast Sandwich.

The move follows the success of last year’s Beyond Sausage® Breakfast Sandwich and the food chain continues to give on-the-go consumers more ways to easily make plant-based food and beverages part of their day.

The Southwest Veggie Power Breakfast Sandwich features America’s #1 veggie brand, MorningStar Farms black bean patty. The sub is also packed with southwest flavors, layered with an egg-white omelet filled with spinach, bell peppers, and onions, topped with aged white cheddar cheese, and served on a multigrain thin bun.

The sandwich can be ordered vegan by excluding the omelet and cheese and substituting the multigrain thin bun with vegan bread options such as an English muffin or a bagel since the multigrain option contains honey.

The flavorful, meatless sandwich ($3.99) is now available for a limited time at participating Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide.

‘Proud’

“Dunkin’ is proud to expand our plant-based offerings with the introduction of the new Southwest Veggie Power Breakfast Sandwich to meet the needs of our guests and provide the flexitarian and vegetarian options they crave to keep running any time of day,” said Jill Nelson, Vice President of Marketing & Culinary at Dunkin’.

‘Veggie-centric option’

“This sandwich is really exciting for MorningStar Farms because it delivers a veggie-centric option for Dunkin’ guests, giving them a great plant-based protein patty,” Dara Schuster, Senior Director of Marketing of Plant-Based Protein at Morningstar Farms’ parent company 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.”

Vegan Dunkin’

Dunkin’ has been adding dairy and meat alternatives to its menu after it became the first US restaurant to offer Beyond Breakfast Sausage in 2019.

In 2020, it added Planet Oat’s oat milk to all of its more than 9000 locations for customers to enjoy as part of Dunkin’s new Iced Oatmilk Latte, as well as a variety of hot, iced, and frozen coffee, espresso drinks, and speciality beverages, although additional charges may apply.
