Tasting and satisfying just like meat, the Beyond Breakfast Sausage allows all Tims guests, including vegans and meat lovers alike, to enjoy the taste and satisfaction of a breakfast classic they know and love, without sacrifice.

"Canadians are looking to incorporate plant-based options into their diets and we're thrilled to partner with Beyond Meat to test three Beyond Meat Breakfast Sandwiches – including an entirely vegan offering if the market test confirms the potential we see for the platform," says Alex Macedo, President of Tim Hortons. "With roughly 4,000 locations in Canada, we're looking forward to being able to offer Canadians from coast-to-coast a truly accessible meat alternative that they can feel good about."

Guests will be able to enjoy a Beyond Meat Breakfast Sandwich, a Beyond Meat Farmers Breakfast Wrap and a Beyond Meat Vegan Sandwich, all featuring the Beyond Breakfast Sausage patty.

"We're excited to team up with Tim Hortons to bring the health and environmental benefits of our plant-based Beyond Breakfast Sausage patty to more consumers," says Ethan Brown, founder and CEO of Beyond Meat. "A national launch would allow us to further our mission of making delicious plant-based products more readily accessible to Canadians nationwide."     

Tim Hortons is continuing to innovate with better-for-you options. New to the Tims Breakfast Anytime menu this week are high protein Omelette Bites. Available in two delicious flavours, guests can mix and match when ordering and each order includes two Omelette Bites. 

• Bacon & Cheese – Velvety eggs baked with diced bacon and creamy cheddar cheese. $3.49*
