Jimmy Dean is putting its own twist on a breakfast staple with its Egg Bites line.

The fully cooked bites, which contain fluffy whole eggs and Jimmy Dean sausage or bacon, also are made with real cheese and baked, the company said.

“Breakfast is crucial to get your day started with your best foot forward, but we know it can feel daunting to make a meal from scratch — especially during the week,” said Janee Luhrsen, brand manager of Jimmy Dean brand. “That’s why Egg Bites are a great option! No prep time or clean-up, just flavorful, filling, and portable, so you don't have to sacrifice a delicious breakfast on even the busiest of mornings.”

Featuring 17 g of protein per serving, the bites are available in meat lovers and sausage and three cheese varieties, which can be found in the frozen aisle breakfast aisle of Walmart stores nationwide for the suggested retail price of $2.99.

Ghost is celebrating Oreo’s 110^th anniversary with a special protein powder.

The Pittsburgh-based company teamed up with Mondelēz on the launch of Ghost Whey x Oreo Birthday Cake flavor, which will be available exclusively at GNC stores nationwide and online.

“After the launch of Ghost Legend All Out earlier this month we’re excited to introduce Ghost Whey x Oreo Birthday Cake as our latest flavor drop,” said Kevin Maloberti, vice president of merchandising at GNC. “Ghost continues to challenge themselves to innovate and create flavors, like Oreo Birthday Cake, consumers immediately gravitate to while also producing results.”

Featuring a sweet flavor profile and real Oreo cookie pieces, the whey protein powder delivers 25 g of protein and 150 calories per serving, the company said.

“GNC has always been a great support to Ghost, and we are honored to have a second exclusive retail launch with them this month,” said Dan Lourenco, co-founder and CEO of Ghost. “We only partner with brands and flavors that are authentic to who we are. At the same time of OREO^’s 110^th anniversary, we celebrated our sixth birthday, and what better way to make the occasion than with birthday cake? We hope every workout feels like a piece of cake with Ghost by your side.”
