Daily Delish – Rudi makes Mondays a lil bit sweeter ;)

Daily Delish

Well I just got home from mall-walking (DORK ALERT!) with my mom and I am happy to say that Monday is almost over! Why is it that Mondays have such a horrible connotation? Why can’t I see them as a fresh beginning or a clean slate, instead of “the longest span of time before the weekend.” Seriously! They aren’t going anywhere, Mondays are here to stay, so I might as well embrace them. Easier said than done, huh? Well, I’m going to work on it. Consider it a goal ;)

I always try and spruce up my Mondays by packing fun snacks to look forward to. Call it lame if you will, but it gets me through my ‘Manic Monday’ with a smile. Today’s treat? A Rudi’s Cinnamon Raisin Bagel. Ever since Rudi’s sent me a sampler package I’ve been ITCHING to bite into the cinnamon raisin bagels. But I knew they’d be perfect for my “Monday-save-me-from-hell-pick-me-up,” so I resisted.

It was so worth the wait! This bagel was amazing! So soft and chewy, just the way I like ‘em! It tasted just like the calorie-refined-carb laden rings of doughy goodness that I have come to know and love!

But those of you who have purchased from Rudi’s Organic Bakery know that all of their products are made with natural ingredients and whole grains.

I love this excerpt from the company’s Web site:

Here’s what is not in our bread. Ever.

* High fructose corn syrup
* Chemical preservatives
* Artificial ingredients
* (or anything you can’t pronounce)

I also loved the fact that the bagels are only 150 calories! Most traditional bagels are at LEAST 300!

Check out the fantastic ingredients and product description:

I enjoyed my bagel toasted with PB2 (read my review of PB2 here) spread on top.

Rudi makes one mean bagel!

DELISH! This snack kept me going all afternoon and gave me the energy I needed to embrace the rest of the day.

What is your favorite bagel topping (I LOVE cream cheese, but was feeling the PB today!)? What do you do to help get you through your manic Mondays?

    a great morning workout sets me up for a good monday!

    i like to stick an unsliced bagel in the toaster oven, so the inside gets soft and the outside is a little crispy. no topping necessary; fruit on the side!

    Oh wow, that looks delish! I haven’t had a bagel in ages. I couldn’t even begin to pick a favorite bagel topping–love cream cheese, lox, butter, peanut butter, jam, honey, and even avocado with a little bit of gorgonzola cheese.
