WHAT: Evol Scramble Cups
STATS: Vary by flavor. The lightest, the Egg White, Veggies & Cheese, contains 120 calories and 4.5 fat, 12 carbohydrate, 2 fiber, 1 sugar and 9 protein grams. We found them at Target, 420 S. University Ave., Little Rock. More information at evolfoods.com.
THE SKINNY: There's been a lot of controversy surrounding a certain breakfast-hour cup -- a red one. But here's a less contested cup: the Evol Scramble Cup.
These frozen cups contain ingredients like cage-free eggs, cheese, potatoes, antibiotic-free proteins and vegetables that one can microwave. Available in four varieties (Egg, Uncured Bacon & Cheese; Chicken Apple Sausage; Egg White, Veggies & Cheese; and Egg, Basil Pesto, Potato & Cheese), all contain 200 or fewer calories per individual, microwavable vessel. We're partial to the Egg, Uncured Bacon & Cheese with bell peppers and potato. It's like having a mini omelet and hash browns in one convenient container.
Though we have not yet tried them, it's worth noting that Evol's cup line runneth over with other choices -- four Fajita Cups and four Veggie Cups.
