A Better Bagel?

Uncategorized

26 May

I love bagels. A lot.  I wish I didn’t, but I do. Every time I go to Panera for lunch I end up ordering a bagel to chomp on with my salad/sandwich combo. It’s unnecessary, but I am weak.

Because of my love for the doughy deliciousness I am always in search of an “everyday” bagel. While I love bagel shop bagels, I know it’s not the best choice for breakfast on a daily basis. At home I eat healthier versions pretty regularly and I recently found a new kind to try – Nature’s Own Thin Sliced Bagels.IMG_8363

These actually have very similar stats to Thomas’ Bagel Thins except they have 30 more calories. Everything else is practically identical.IMG_8364

Nature’s Promise bagels are smaller, but thicker than the Thomas’ version. (Here the NP bagel is on the left.)IMG_8366

Nature’s Promise is on top here – thicker, but smaller in diameter. So it really depends on your preference. IMG_8367

Today I tried the Nature’s Promise with AB & banana. Very good, very chewy. I like it! I can’t decide which one I like better yet, but I usually go with the chewier choice so NP might win it 🙂IMG_8361

I also made a smoothie because I love them and think it’s the best way for me to get protein and chia seeds after a run.IMG_8360

Race News – This weekend Ben and I are doing a road trip up to NJ for his annual reunion. I had been looking for a local race and happened to stumble upon a 5K  that is happening at his school Saturday!

I emailed the organizer and asked if I could still sign up (sign up on the web is closed already). They said yes and I can take care of it race day.

I am so excited to run a fun race in NJ. I really wanted to run a race in all of the near by states before we leave, but I don’t think the timing is going to work out. At least I’ll get one more!

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      I still haven’t tried chia seeds, but must put them on my list! Good luck with your 5K race.

      I really liked your 100% of the time post.

      i think i am the only one who hates bagel thins! i think they taste nothing like bagels, just like sandwich thins with a hole in the middle. my favorite low-calorie bagel is western alternative bagels.. they are good! but i am SUCH a bagel fanatic, i always get big, carby bagels on my free day 🙂

      I don’t think I have ever eaten a bagel in my life. But thick and chewy sounds like it would be my choice. I LOVE chewy bread.

      I’m pretty obsessed with bagels too. I’ve found that while I like Bagel Thins, they just don’t have the chew I’m looking for. For now I’m just going with occasionally ordering bagels whilst out.

      I always forget about bagels! I made some last month, but I rarely buy them in the store. I keep seeing those bagel thins around the blog world. They look tasty!

      Those bagels look so much more substantial than the thins! I’d definetly buy the bigger ones:)

      wow those bagels do look really good. i like that they’re thicker than the bagel thins because there definitely was something lacking with the thins, not bagel-y enough!

      Those look good!! I LOVE bagels.. ok, I love any kind of chewy doughy bready thing but I rarely eat bagels because they have SO many calories and never keep me full without adding some sort of protein. I’ll be on the look out of those!

      I love those thin bagels- especially for sandwiches. If I’m just eating a bagel though I still want the real thing 😉

      You’ll have to let us know how well the bagel holds you over! I like bagels, but I never eat them because they make my blood sugar go crazy and I’m hungry in 1/2 an hour.

      Either Nature’s Own or Nature’s Promise also make mini bagels – the whole wheat have 100 calories and are perfect for a snack with PB!

      What do you normally put in your smoothies? I do 8oz kefir, frozen fruit, fresh spinach and some half-sugar OJ.

      I’ve yet to put chia seeds in a smoothie but that seems like such a good idea!! That’s awesome that you found a race to run in in NJ. Good luck!
