#49: Processed Plant-Based Breakfast Sausage
Plant-based sausage may appear automatically healthier because it does not contain meat. While some products offer useful protein, many are highly processed and designed to copy the salty, fatty taste of traditional breakfast sausage.

Certain brands contain considerable sodium, refined oils, and numerous additives. Check the label rather than judging the product only by its plant-based description. Beans, tofu, eggs, or homemade patties made from vegetables and lentils can provide protein with fewer heavily processed ingredients.
