About the Egg White Bites with Three Cheese & Red Pepper
Starbucks Egg White Bites with Three Cheese and Red Pepper cost £4.95 and carry 162 calories with 13g of protein. Free range sous vide egg white bites with three cheeses, roasted red peppers and spinach.
Two things about this item run against the name, and both are worth knowing before choosing it over the whole egg version. It carries more saturated fat, 5.9g against 5.4g, despite being 15 calories lighter. And it does not carry a gluten free label, while the three cheese and ham bites do.
The saturated fat figure makes sense once you see what was removed. Egg yolk carries fat but also flavour and body; take it out and the recipe needs more cheese to compensate, and cheese is denser in saturated fat than yolk is. The lighter option on calories is the heavier one on the fat that nutrition guidance actually caps.
Egg white on its own sets firm and springy rather than soft, which is a texture problem the recipe has to solve rather than a flaw in the cooking. More cheese and more dairy go in to keep it tender, and that is the same decision that pushes the saturated fat above the whole egg version. The two facts are the same fact seen from different sides.
Where it genuinely wins is salt, at 1g against 1.5g, because roasted peppers and spinach replace cured ham. That is a third less salt for the same 13g of protein, and for anyone watching salt rather than calories this is the better of the two by a clear margin.
Spinach and pepper also do something for the eating that ham does not, which is add water and sweetness against a set custard. The whole egg version is uniform all the way through; this one has soft pockets of vegetable in it, and that texture is a fair reason to prefer it independent of any nutrition figure.
Sugar is 1.3g, from the roasted peppers, and total fat is 9.5g. It lists egg and milk as allergens and carries no dietary labels at all, so it is not marked vegetarian despite containing no meat, which usually points to the cheese. Prices reach £5.50 on delivery.

How to Make a Egg White Bites with Three Cheese & Red Pepper at Home
Egg whites alone set rubbery, so this version leans harder on cottage cheese than the whole egg one does.
Ingredients
Egg white base
Vegetables
Method
0 of 4 stepsTips
- More cottage cheese than you think. Egg whites alone bake into something closer to a bath sponge.
- Roast and skin the pepper yourself rather than using it from a jar, which is wet and vinegary.
- Do not salt the mix. The three cheeses bring plenty and the shop version is already at 1g.
Variations
- Two whole eggs added back, which improves texture considerably at a small calorie cost.
- Sun dried tomato instead of the pepper for something sharper.
- Feta in place of the Cheddar, which raises the salt but suits the vegetables.
Warm, two per person. Cold from the fridge they are noticeably firmer than the whole egg version.
