We’re always on the hunt for gluten-free bagels, and I still haven’t tried Udi’s bagels (I’ve always just bought their bread). I wanted to try something different, so I bought a bag of the newly-designed whole grain bagels.

Here’s what sucks the most. Yes, that’s over 300 calories. I know that bagels are caloric, but c’mon. Ugh. Makes me feel like I’m already at a detriment unless I start my day with P90X and sweating off my breakfast. I feel like that’s also a lot of ingredients – but hey, I like bagels and I’m going to be okay with it just being gluten, dairy, soy and nut free.

I know they probably only cut the bagel 3/4ths of the way, but it’s really annoying when they’re frozen and you want a bagel right away. I keep them in the freezer and then microwave them for like :30 to get them ready to cut for the toaster.

I think they toasted up really well. I was happy with them, as well as their consistency. I was definitely full after I had them. However, they’re not overly tasty – they’re whole grain but they taste a little more like a plain one. I prefer everything bagels, but so far the only ones I found were from Gluten Free Creations Bakery – a local GF bakeshop. They only come in plain, cinnamon raisin, and multigrain.

So, Udi’s – I wish you had an everything bagel so I could enjoy my 300 calories in the morning a little bit more. It’s not bad, but it’s not my favorite. It’s got a great consistency, but I’d like more flavor. I give it a 4 out of 5. However (like the photo below) I’m going to have to go to the gym to work it all out! They retail for around $5-6 and can be purchased online too!
