The Product
Bagels are one of the few things that I really miss. Over the past five years, I’ve tried almost every brand on the market. Udi’s bagels are OK, but the nutritional information is horrific: add peanut butter to your morning bagel and you’re basically consuming a Big Mac. Other brands taste like wet cardboard, or just bread in a weird shape.
Luckily, over a year ago I heard about O’Doughs Bagel Thins. I did see them at Jane’s Gluten Free in Moncton this spring, but I didn’t pick any up and have been kicking myself ever since. Luckily, we spotted them at Pete’s Frootique in Halifax last weekend thanks to a sampling event!
The Test
At Pete’s Frootique, we got to try the sprouted whole grain flax and apple cranberry flavours, toasted and with ghee on top. I also purchased a six-pack of the sprouted whole grain flax bagel thins for $6.99. Here’s what my breakfast looked like the next day:

I find that having good gluten-free alternatives for foods I love makes the diet so much easier! With this in mind, I’d like to share some gluten-free options for my favorite foods.

Udi’s is one of my favorite gluten-free brands. I always have their pizza crusts and a loaf of their bread on hand. I love their Chocolate Chia muffin tops as a treat, and their hot dog and hamburger buns are a must-have in the summer. They’re also very allergy-friendly: most of their products are also soy, nut, and/or dairy free! They are even certified kosher.
With all that in mind, it’s no wonder that I got excited the other day when they announced some new products hitting the shelves. The list includes granola bars, single serve pizzas, and tortillas! There’s no guarantee that we’ll see those products up here, but we can certainly hope. (If you’re not sure where to find Udi’s around you, they have a store locator that actually works in Canada! I find that the Sobeys stores in Metro have the best fresh selection.)
As a side note, their website also has tons of resources. One of my favorite features is the links on the home page asking why you’re interested in the gluten-free diet. We also love the recipe search that is extremely customizable.
We’re looking forward to more Udi’s products hitting the shelves, and we’ll keep you up to date as we see new items!
