WW USERS - 2pts for whole bagel, 1pt for half bagel!

Price:
These bagels cost $7.99 for a pack of 6 and $1.99 for one. Kind of pricey if you ask me. Not only that but these come from a Low Carb retail store located in California, so the shipping can be kind of high, especially in the summer, where they suggest that you have them sent first class mail so the bread doesn't spoil (there is no preservatives in the bread, so it spoils easily). For the first class "warm weather shipping", it will cost you $13.95 to ship, and to opt out of the warm weather shipping, you will be charged a flat rate USPS shipping price of $8.95.

Taste Review:

Pros-
I got these because I am a huge bread lover and I thought if I could find a way to eat bagels in the morning without the load of unnecessary carbs, I would be as giddy as a school girl. They are pretty good, I enjoy eating them as a filling breakfast. You have to keep them frozen, as there are no preservatives (which I like!) I always pop them in the toaster oven for a minute or two, spray them lightly with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray and sprinkle them with sugar substitute and cinnamon, since the cinnamon flavor in the bagel is a bit subtle. They are extremely filling and taste pretty good.

Cons-
They are pretty dry. Coming from me, this is a huge thing to say, as I have always enjoyed eating sandwiches, bread, etc dry. I am not a huge butter person or in to spreads/dressings, and in the past always ate plain bagels dry. But these are too dry for me. If you attempt to eat them without drinking anything you WILL feel as if you are on the verge of choking at some point. Whenever you eat these, keep a bottle of water or whatever you may drink in the morning very very close. The fact that I even spray I Can't Believe It's Not Butter on them is a big sign, as like I said, I am not a butter person.

Conclusion-
Other than the dryness these are a pretty good breakfast option. As I said, extremely filling, pretty light on the calories/carbs/points and taste pretty good.
