NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

You're only halfway through your day and already you can feel your bed calling your name. Coffee may perk you up for a few minutes, but what you really need is an energy boost. You can get one from that high-energy food that is tasty, portable, and affordable:

THE BAGEL

Bagels are called one of the best energy snacks because of their complex carbohydrates which are stockpiled in the muscles and liver as glycogen, a readily available energy source for the body to tap as needed.

MOVE OVER POWER BARS!

Researchers at Ball State University say the results of a recent study show that bagels provide the same amount of carbohydrates as energy bars, the food that has become so popular at today's health clubs.
 

EXERCISE & DIET

When you're finished munching on your high-energy bagels, head over to Trailhead for everything else you need to enjoy yourself in the great outdoors.
 
 

Our bagels have no preservatives, which means you'll enjoy them more if you follow these storage tips:

STORING FOR UP TO FIVE DAYS:
When your bagels have cooled, place them in a plastic bag. (Plastic storage bags are available free of charge from the Bagelshop.) Remove as much air as possible from the bag, then seal with a twist tie. Your bagels will last for up to five days.

STORING BAGELS FOR LONGER PERIODS:
If you'd like your bagels to last longer, we suggest freezing them. As they have no salt and dairy products, they freeze extremely well. When your bagels have cooled, place them in a plastic bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag, then seal it. Your bagels will last for up to three months in the freezer. Many of our customers who live out of town enjoy frozen bagels after weeks and months of storage in the freezer.

• Before freezing, you can pre-slice your bagels. Your fozen bagels will easily fit into the toaster.
• Bagels are great when they're warm. Heat fresh or frozen in a toaster oven at 325 F, for two to four minutes.
• Bagels are great with cream cheese, jam, paté, or even chocolate spread. They're heavenly with smoked salmon or cold cuts.
WARNING:Using a Microwave may be hazardous to your bagels! Our bagels are "water based bagels," and as such, should not be microwaved. The microwave will dehydrate the bagels. A toaster, toaster oven, or convection oven should be used to warm your bagels.
