It was so nice to be able to peruse the internet again while having my breakfast this morning. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true. I get up a good 20 minutes earlier than I need to just so I can have those 20 minutes of internet/breakfast time.
I usually have eggs for breakfast but this morning I had something different. I won Lauren’s P28 giveaway and the people from P28 really hooked me up. Seriously, they sent four loaves of bread and four packages of bagels!
Typically, I don’t like to have a real carby breakfast, so bagels are kind of a rarity for me, even though I do like them. These were different though. Each P28 bagel had 260 calories, 25 grams of carbs and a whopping 28 grams of protein. I topped my bagel with a light layer of cream cheese. If I had any tomato, I would have added that. I love cream cheese and tomato together.
The best word to describe these bagels is chewy. They are definitely much chewier than a traditional white-flour bagel. The bread is very chewy too. In addition, they both have a hint of sweetness to them. But the bagel was good and had great staying power. I wasn’t hungry for about 3.5 hours which is a good hour and a half more than my eggs keep me full for.
They sound pretty decent, though I’m not much of a bagel person either.
I’m still jealous.
I bet if you are a whole cup of egg whites your be full since it would be same amount of protein… but bagels are more fun to eat.
I usually eat 1 whole egg and two egg whites.
I LOVE my internet/breakfast time.
Those actually sound really good. I love bagels but I never buy them because I have no self control. I’ll eat the whole bag in a week and then buy another one because I just have to have something to use that last little smidge of cream cheese on, and then it becomes a vicious cycle.
I’d like to try the bagels, but like you, I don’t eat them all that often, so if I want a bagel, I’d probably go with a true, old fashioned, high carb-er
Nice! Those look great.
Love bagels!! Those look awesome! May need to purchase some online
YES! So glad they hooked you up so nicely!
I’m a big fan of the bread and the bagels. They’re sending me their wraps too- which aren’t for sale at my Wegmans yet.
BUT, they don’t keep me hungry for quite as long as you… usually 2 hours, tops. Still good though!
