POM's New Thin Bagels Make Portion Control Simple & Satisfying

TORONTO, ONTARIO — This year, POM is making it easy for Canadians to keep their eat-healthy New Year's resolution with three breakfast sandwich recipes specially developed for their line of Thin Bagels. Inspired by classic sandwich favourites, POM's new recipes help start the day with a portion controlled bagel that has half the calories of a regular bagel, but still has the soft texture and fresh flavour Canadians love.

"Instead of fasting or struggling with a new fad diet this year, combine portion controlled foods with power packed ingredients to ensure you reach your daily nutritional needs," says Carolyn O'Brien, Registered Dietitian for POM. "For breakfast I recommend POM's new Berry 'n' Greek Yogurt Thin Bagel, which will give you the energy you need to stay on track throughout the day."
