Starbucks is Serving Up a New Impossible Breakfast Sandwich
Katherine Pendrill — June 23, 2020 — Lifestyle
With the growing demand for plant-based breakfast offerings, Starbucks has just unveiled its new Impossible Breakfast Sandwich. As Starbucks' Chief Sustainability Officer Michael Kobori puts it, "We are thrilled to expand our plant-based menu into food with this new breakfast sandwich."
Starbucks' Impossible Breakfast Sandwich is an on-the-go breakfast solution that's packed with a whopping 22 grams of protein per serving. The sandwich is made with a plant-based Impossible sausage patty, topped with a cage-free fried egg, and aged cheddar cheese, served on artisanal ciabatta bread. Though the patty is plant-based, the addition of eggs and cheese means that the sandwich is not vegan-friendly.
The limited-time Impossible Breakfast Sandwich will be available from participating Starbucks locations nationwide throughout the summer.
