Bagels get a bad reputation because of their high carbohydrate content and relatively low nutritional value. They are also commonly paired with spreads like cream cheese or made into sandwiches with egg and cheese, which of course are delicious, but are animal products that are high in fat and cholesterol. Combining these foods does not help the bagel's case, but when combined with healthy, nutritionally-dense toppings, a bagel can be a healthy and satisfying meal choice.
Some people are surprised to hear that the majority of bagels are vegan, containing no animal products, and so a bagel stacked with vegan ingredients creates a healthy and environmentally sustainable food choice in Wismer. In addition, choosing a whole grain bagel can make the meal even healthier with its additional fiber. See our previous Mediterranean Quinoa Salad post for why plant-based food choices are better for the environment!
