The Why: It isn’t a traditional bagel, but for what it is, it is pretty amazing. The Health Bonus: To keep them low in calories, Western Bagel has replaced flour with a combination of oat fiber, inulin [fiber/bulking agent] and wheat starch, which helps reduce the carbs and increase the dietary fiber. What We Liked Best: We loved all the flavors, but our favorite was Sweet Wheat, which actually has 1 more gram of both protein and fiber than the others. What We Liked Least: They’re not 100 percent whole grain, and they’re a bit small. Also, you have to buy them from the website because they’re not available everywhere. The Price: $3.50 per bag. Offerings: Cinnamon Spice, Sweet Wheat, Country White, Roasted Onion and Very Blueberry. Website: www.westernbagel.com Where to Buy: Kroger, Publix, Albertson's, Company website.
