Healthy Classic Bagels with Cream Cheese

When you think of bagels you probably think of cream cheese, it’s 2nd nature to most. You probably see the bagel emoji (we did that) and still think cream cheese. It wasn’t always like that. That’s a story for another day. But really, don’t count out cream cheese on your bagel. It can be healthy too!

Believe it or not, but the bagel and cream cheese pairing stemmed from the undisputed bagel capital. New York City. As early as the 1900s a common American Breakfast was a cream cheese on a bagel, sometimes even some lox, capers and etc.

It was a great breakfast for those on the go and still is seen as a full quick breakfast. Fast-forward 120 years later, bagels are still killing it. Now, they have a large civil duty, and that is providing people with a low carb version of themselves. Those are our Perfect 10’s and Alternatives today.

This is why classic bagels with cream cheese is still a top dog when debating breakfast.
