KANSAS CITY — The breakfast aisle is expanding with convenient and sustainable offerings.
Frozen food manufacturer Amy’s Kitchen has entered the breakfast category with a line of burritos, wraps and entrees. The frozen products are formulated free from meat, seafood, peanuts and eggs, using tofu as an egg replacer. Offerings in the line include: California scramble, Mexican scramble and tofu scramble entrees, each with 20 grams or more of protein; a scramble wrap and a gluten- and dairy-free tofu scramble wrap; and a ranchero burrito.
“We’re making it easier for families to start their day with a wholesome, delicious breakfast made from real, organic ingredients,” said Fred Scarpulla, chief culinary officer at Amy’s Kitchen. “Our new frozen breakfast line delivers convenience, but with the homemade taste you’d expect from your own kitchen.”
Nature’s Path, a maker of organic breakfast and snack foods, has launched a line of Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) flavored oatmeal. The oatmeal combines regenerative organic ingredients with a convenience-based format for consumers seeking an easy to prepare and sustainable breakfast solution. Each box of ROC flavored oatmeal includes six single-serve packets of quick-cooking whole grain oats, with flavors such as berries and cream and dark chocolate and cocoa.
“The food we choose to eat has a significant impact on the future of the planet and conventional agriculture systems have eroded our soils and negatively impacted biodiversity,” said Jyoti Stephens, vice president of mission and strategy at Nature’s Path. “Regenerative organic farming has the potential to help reverse these negative impacts.”
