If you're like me, chances are you love warm, chewy fresh-baked bagels -- but not what they can do to your waistline. Thankfully, there are new bagel options (and more!) now available at all Einstein Bros Bagels and Noah's New York Bagels locations. A revitalized Smart Choices menu features sandwiches made on Einstein's Thintastic Bagels (which we've already told you about) that are full of flavor but have 35 percent fewer calories than the thicker, original version.

The Thintastic Bagels come in three flavors: plain, whole wheat, and everything. Choose your favorite flavor and use it to build a thinner version of any of the regular breakfast and lunch sandwich options. A few of my favorites include:


* For a filling, well-rounded breakfast, try the Asparagus, Mushroom and Swiss Egg White Sandwich on a whole wheat Thintastic Bagel for just 300 calories.
* Feeling Italian? Go for the Tuscan Chicken Pesto Sandwich on a whole wheat Thintastic Bagel, which clocks in at 340 calories and provides six grams of filling fiber and 25 grams of lean protein.
* The Bagel Thin Club Sandwich on an everything Thintastic Bagel makes a tasty lunch that has just 360 calories.
* Maybe you don't want a bagel at all? No prob! They have also added a new Greek Yogurt Parfait to the menu as well as two gourmet salads, the Chipotle Chicken Salad and the Harvest Chicken Salad.

Other items on the revamped Smart Choices menu includes soups, fresh fruit and low-fat smoothies, and every food labeled as such has no more than 385 cals and less than 15 grams of fat. If you're jonesing for a taste, keep your eyes peeled on social media as Einstein Bros. and Noah's locations will be revealing a promotion for a totally free Thintastic Bagel and Smear redeemable in restaurants on January 15. Now do you want a bagel?!
