McDonald's Testing Protein-Heavy Breakfast Bowls

McDonald's is testing two new, protein-heavy Breakfast Bowls at several locations here in Southern California.

The bowls come in Turkey Sausage or Chorizo varieties and are being sold for $3.99 each.

The Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowl features cut-up pieces of turkey sausage and egg whites topped with kale, spinach, bruschetta, and cheddar jack cheese.

The Chorizo Breakfast Bowl features chorizo and egg on a hash brown with shredded cheddar jack cheese and pico de gallo on top.

The Turkey Sausage versions seems to be an appeal to more health-conscious customers, while the Chorizo offers up a slightly Mexican twist on your standard breakfast scramble.

If you're wondering about calories, the Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowl is listed at 250 calories, while the Chorizo version is over twice that at 540 calories.
