Soozy's Grain Free Bagels

 

This was a real treat this morning. These bagels by Soozy's made my morning special. They come frozen. One package holds 5 bagels. I'm writing this 4 hours after eating it and I am still full. These are satisfying to say the least. 

Another plus is that they come pre-cut. I wrapped them in a paper towel and heated it in the microwave for 45 seconds. The texture was pleasantly chewy and held together great! 

I had mine with Earth Balance Margarine and honey comb.

These bagels are made with a combination of cassava flour, almond flour, tapioca flour and flaxseed flour. All nice gluten free flours that offer lots of texture.

These bagels are 170 calories each with 4 grams protein. They have psyllium seed which brings the fiber content up to provide 25 percent of daily fiber needs. 

These can be found at Whole Foods

What I Eat: Smoked Salmon

I absolutely love smoked salmon. But being corn and gluten free, I have had to make a few changes in order to enjoy one of my favorite meals.

Bagels: I use "Against the Grain" brand. Note: they do use cheese in their recipe, so it wouldn't be good for dairy sensitive individuals. But if it is tolerated, these bagels are good.

Smoked salmon: The one thing I look for is to make sure it doesn't contain corn syrup. Most of them do not, but there are some out there that do use corn syrup.

I do not use cream cheese just because of the fat content. However, if cream cheese is desired, Philadelphia cream cheese is good. It has to be the bar and not the whipped variety. The whipped contains modified food starch and xanthin gum. The modified starch could mean anything from gluten to corn. The xanthan gum is a derivative of corn.

I like to top mine with fresh tomatoes and onions. Theses vegetables can be irritating to the intestines for some people. I also like fresh spinach.
