Behind The Name: Stabilyze & Stabilizing Blood Sugar Levels
We've featured Stabilyze nutrition bars before, but you might have thought the name was a little unique for a bar. What's behind the name?...
Gluten Free Bagel Roundup
Readers often ask us about gluten-free bagels—and no wonder. Anyone living gluten-free has likely endured some serious bagel hankering. Fortunately, there are now options available in many grocery stores across the country. Most of these commercial brands come frozen and are best when toasted. A precious few gluten-free bakeries make fresh bagels in-house—arguably worth some vacation time-off to travel for carbs.
New Cascadia Traditional
These bagels are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just like a beautiful New York bagel. We recommend them enthusiastically. They deserve rave reviews. Until recently, you had to travel to Portland, Oregon, to taste them. New Cascadia now ships its bagels, baguettes and breads to your door (for a pretty penny).
Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Bagels
These store-brand bagels are remarkably similar to Udi’s, with a slightly crunchy outside and a soft bready texture on the inside. They’re less expensive than most mainstream bagel brands. If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, you’re in luck.
The Greater Knead Bagels (formerly Sweet Note Bagels)
We love the taste of these bagels. They’re chewy with just a touch of sweetness from the sorghum flour. The Greater Knead is available in select markets across the United States.
Udi’s Gluten Free Bagels
Widely distributed, Udi’s bagels are available in grocery stores across the country, as well as in many restaurants and hotels. Very good when toasted, these bagels are a staple in our kitchen.
New Grains Gluten Free Bagels
These New Grains bagels are fluffy, a bit like hamburger buns. Wonderful flavor. Available in select markets in Utah. A must-have if you’re anywhere near Salt Lake City.
Canyon Bakehouse Bagels
We love the taste of these chewy bagels, with a hint of sorghum sweetness. Unfortunately, they’re not as widely available as Canyon Bakehouse’s high-quality bread. Look for these bagels in the refrigerated or frozen section or on bakery shelves in their stay-fresh shelf-stable packaging.
Bedrock Bakers Bagels (Paleo)
There are only a handful of paleo bagel brands and they’re not widely available. These bagels from Bedrock Bakers are standouts, available online. Cassava flour and almond flour produce a mild-tasting “pagel” that might easily be mistaken for a grain-filled bagel. We only wish these bagels were bigger and less expensive to ship.
The Finest Cuts of Meat
ButcherBox is a premium meat delivery service that brings you the best—only 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef, free-range organic chicken and heritage breed pork. Animals are all humanely raised and free of antibiotics and hormones.
