Sweet Note Bakery's Gluten Free Bagels...Your Chance to Win a Full Supply for the School Year!

Have you ever heard of Sweet Note gluten free bagels? 

I hadn't...until recently. Fortunately, their distribution has expanded to include CVS, Whole Foods, Shop Rite, Dean & Deluca, MOM's Organic Market, Door to Door Organics, and Weis (but not all locations of these stores -- enter your zip on this page of their website to find the closest location to you). 

Their "claim to fame," so to speak, is that they have created the first authentic, New York-syle bagel that is gluten free (AND free of the top 8 common food allergens). I thought about that statement, and YES, they are right. They are authentic, in terms of look, texture, and taste. You'd never believe they were gluten free, much less free of other allergens, too. While our family buys other gluten free bagels, we have yet to find one that comes close to a traditional bagel. Some are like eating a big round-shaped piece of tasteless bread, others are tasty but not really what you remember bagels tasting like, and still others use a lot of bean flour, which I don't care for (weird aftertaste). 

These bagels are smaller, denser, crusty on the outside, and chewy on the inside -- just what authentic New York bagels should be. They are made in a dedicated gluten free facility, so no need to worry about cross contamination in the preparation process. I also love that a they are non-GMO (in addition to being soy free, dairy free, egg free, and peanut/tree nut free). 

There are three flavors to choose from in stores: Plain, Cinnamon Raisin, and Everything (shown above). Seasonal flavors include French Toast and Tomato Basil. If you order online, you can also get Onion, Poppy, Garlic Herb, Salt, Garlic, Blueberry, Pumpkin Spice, "Sunrise Swirl,"" and "Unicorn Bagel." They come in packs of 4 and range in price from $7.25 - $9.99.
