The other day I found myself at a Dunkin Donuts. Did you ever think you’d read those words on my blog? :~) I was picking up donuts for the husband, don’t get me started, and I was hungry. UGH! Talk about temptation! Thankfully I was there after a run and honestly had no desire for a donut. But I was hungry, and that’s when I remembered DD Smart Menu.
I’ve been meaning to try an Egg White Veggie Flatbread Sandwich for weeks. Now, before I give you my review you have to understand my stance on fast food breakfasts. I hate them. I’m not kidding, there is something that grosses me out about fast food eggs. Plus they always pair it with cheese and I’m just not a fan of cheese and egg together. Yes, yes, I know, I’m crazy.
So where am I going with this? Oh yeah. Well, it was GOOD! I mean it. Cheese and all, I really liked this breakfast option. The egg white was firm, cooked through. The flatbread had a nice texture and flavor and I even didn’t mind the cheese slice! It wasn’t overbearing.
My biggest complain isn’t about the food but the fact that you can’t custom the order. I originally asked for no cheese but the sandwiches are pre-made so you don’t have a choice. Other then that and not being all nice and neat like the picture, it was a winner in my book. I can’t wait to try the Turkey Sausage one!
Here are my top picks from the menu. Be warned, don’t assume low points just because something’s on the DD Smart menu. The Reduced Fat Blueberry Muffin is still 8 points. Yikes! Makes me wonder about the “regular”! I don’t know about you but an 8 point muffin isn’t worth it. I’d rather have the egg sandwich and a tea with some fruit.
Oh! and don’t ask me why the veggie has more fat then the sausage, it makes NO sense to me!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

OH YUM! I will have to check that out thanks for the tip! I agree on the typical rubbery cheese that typically comes on those fast food sandwiches! THANKS again RONI!
I tried the Turkey Sausage one last week, I enjoyed it! The veggie was good too, but for less points and more flavor (in my opinion) turkey sausage egg white flat bread wins it.
i’ve been wanting to try this for awhile! glad to read a review about it~
Makes me wish we had a Dunkin Donuts around here!
cool, maybe the family and I can do DD and I won’t self-implode!
I tried this last weekend when the boyfriend drove through on our roadtrip. I was surprised how good it was. I ended up tearing off alot of the flatbread bc there was too much bread for too little egg. But it filled me up and i felt much better than I would have if i went for the donut…..
Thanks for giving the point values!
So this is dangerous! We have a DD opening up in our small town….in a few days. It is in the same strip mall that the gym is in! Geesh! Talk about temptation. Atleast now they have smart options.
Good to know! I just found out about these but haven’t gotten to try one yet. I’ll try to resist going to DD, but good to know there’s an option!
i like the trend of places having more healthy choices. It should only get better in the coming years :)
Hi Roni,
Thanks again for such a great site!!!
For the drinks that you gave points values- what sizes are they?
Thanks!
Amy
Amy – That’s a good question! They don’t say on there web site, I’m going to assume the smalls or “Regulars”.
OMG I thought I was the only person who had a thing about fastfood eggs….I’m gonna try one now .
I am not a fan of greasy processed breakfast. I tried and like the DD egg white veggie flatbread. I have hypertension and watch what i eat so eating this sandwich while on the road is a good alternative
