Einstein Bros. - Powerbagel

The Powerbagel from Einstein Bros.


First Impression/New Bagel Name:
This is less a bagel than a mini-loaf of bread.

Flavor:
It tastes like a little brick of goodness, so wholesome it makes me think of hippie co-ops. I believe this bagel would be complimented well by the addition of jam or honey. The single most noticeable flavor is that of pumpkin seeds.

Color:
The bagel has a dark wheaty bread appearance, with many seeds and grains visible. The seed content was so high that birds could be seen circling hungerly overhead.

Texture:
This bagel had the dense texture of a good wheat bread.

Bagel Top vs. Bagel Bottom:
The bottom of the bagel was slightly drier and denser than the top, but this does not negatively impact the bagels taste.

Nutritional Value:
This bagel rates a 6, higher than one would expect due a surprisingly large sugar content. Einstein Bros seems to be trying to market this as a health food, giving it the "powerbagel" name. I have to say that after eating it, I did feel a slight surge in power.

Schmeer Rating:
3 Schmeers out of 5.
