Wheat Bagel

Wheat bread carries a certain sheen of healthiness about it. It's  bit more rustic than white bread, with a nutty flavor that can be pretty pleasing, especially once it's fresh out of the oven. Even the most bread-averse can be persuaded by a beautifully crusty loaf of honey wheat that wafts its lovely, savory flavor across the kitchen as soon as it's done.

Then again, wheat bagels aren't all that exciting, right? They have a slight edge over their plain bagel compatriots, but not by much. They have a bit more color and perhaps a little more taste, but wheat bagels simply don't make it much further in the race to ultimate bagel deliciousness.

Honestly, when it comes to eating a bagel, there are few options for healthy food. If you feel truly guilty about consuming carbs, simply try to limit your bagel consumption to one or two days a week. There's no need to ease your guilt with an option that's really not all that healthier than its compatriots in the bakery and, if we must be frank here, is pretty darn boring. Instead, pick a better flavor and then plan to go on a jog later.
