Until now, the only Weight Watchers product I’ve ever tasted was their nasty Blueberry Muffins. When I bought Smart Ones Morning Express English Muffin Sandwich I didn’t realize it was part of the Weight Watchers line up, and I had major attitude when I found out, but its a recession and I’m not wasting cash, so lets dig in.
I was shocked when I opened the package. This English Muffin looks likes fake food from my Greedy four year-old’s toy kitchen. Should I be eating this? I didn’t get any lingering microwave aroma, but it certainly looked better after it was cooked.
The melted, oily diet cheese oozed out of the sandwich onto what appeared to be a light and fluffy English muffin (no meat on this one), but when I chomped down the breading had an elastic stretchiness that made it difficult to pull a bite away from the rest of sandwich. Despite this bizarre experience the cheese and breading actually tastes good, but why can’t I get any egg flavor?
I broke off a piece of egg white patty to taste it separately and what I got was a mouthful of water-logged egg with zero taste. And here’s the ironic part – even though Smart Ones Morning Express English Muffin Sandwich sounds like a creation from the twilight zone, it grew on me with every bite and I actually like it. This one’s a keeper. (yes, I’m shocked too)

Reactions from the Taste Test Crew
Health-hater Husband – The bread is soft except for a bit of hardness on the bottom. The cheese is just OK. It’s surprisingly good for a microwave sandwich, actually better than Bob Evans’ version. The egg was flavorful, but that’s because I added salt and pepper. I wouldn’t have guessed it was Weight Watchers.
The Smart Ones Morning Express line also touts these breakfast sandwiches:

Nice review. This is the first I’ve read of one of your food reviews, and it’s much appreciated! It’s funny that you liked it after all that. Maybe you were just really hungry after all your hard work this week. Congrats!
Well, I’m glad it turned out good for you.
I love when that happens!
Just a note on how to prepare these – I take them apart, toast the english muffin while I zap the other parts on a small plate (paper – into the compost) and then put it back together. No chewy muffin for me – oh and I only put the cheese back for like 30 secs or it melts too much. I like it so much better this way!
I love these sammies!! I put the whole sammie in the micro for bout 2 mins and it’s hot and tastes delish! Obviously the author has problems with his or her tastebuds! The review is totally false and way off!
