Everything bagel seasoning has emerged as the latest thing to literally put on everything. So why not provide you with some knowledge on why it can be great for you and how you can use it more often! It all started with a grocery store called Trader Joe’s. They came out with a little bottle of magic called “Everything but the bagel” seasoning, and it sounds exactly like it is…everything but the bagel.
It’s simply the seasoning that you find on an everything bagel, but guess what….it’s good on everything!!
It’s comprised of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion flakes, dried garlic flakes, and sea salt. All these flavors formed into one make a super seasoning! So why should we use it on foods? The poppy and sesame seeds are going to offer up more healthy fats (omega-3s), offer more satiety in meals, and of course load it up with flavor. Calories are moderately low, so this seasoning is a great choice to add a burst of flavor. A serving size is considered ¼ tsp which offers up a whopping 5 calories, so while it still provides calories, it’s not going to load calories onto a meal like a sauce or marinade would. You do still have to be aware of the sodium, since sea salt is one of the ingredients, but as a whole, this can be a great choice on lots of different foods.
If you haven’t tried “everything” seasoning yet, here are a couple of foods you could try it with to see if you truly like it. I’ve personally thrown it onto my eggs (which is amazing), coated chicken and steak with it, added it to roasted veggies, and you could also add it to a soup, salad or avocado toast as well! There are SO many ways you can use this seasoning that it’s almost silly not to try it.
Finding this seasoning used to be much harder, but with the popularity of it growing, it’s easier to find. Some big stores you can find it in include Walmart, Costco,Giant, Redner’s and of course the OG Trader Joe’s. If you don’t feel like buying it, chances are you have all the ingredients to make it at home too! Here are the ratios:
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ cups poppy seeds
3 tbsp dried onion flakes
3 tbsp dried garlic flakes
2 tbsp course sea salt
Mix all this together and you’ll get 1 cup of deliciousness! Try it for yourself and comment below to let me know what you thought! Time to take your meals up a notch!
Tropical Parfait
/0 Comments/in Meal Prep, Recipes /by Primelife AdminServes 1 , Serving size 1 Parfait
Calories 237 (with syrup). Fat 3g. Protein 19g.
KP’s Tip: Parfaits are a great option for breakfast, as yogurt offers protein and carbs. Adding fruit, granola, or whatever you prefer adds to the delicious taste of it. With its tropical taste and island-style vibe, your day will start on the bright side of things. Add some mandarin oranges, lime, or grapefruit for some more citrus bite.
KP’s Breakfast Sammy
/0 Comments/in Meal Prep, Recipes /by Primelife AdminServes 1 , Serving size 1 Sandwich
1. Pan-fry your egg over medium heat. I have a one-egg pan that I use which works perfectly!
2. While your egg is frying, toast your bagel thin whole, don’t separate into two pieces.
3. On a separate plate, place 2 pieces of canadian and microwave for about 30 seconds to heat.
4. Once the egg is done, place aside but leave in the pan.
5. When bagel/sandwich thin is done toasting, place on a plate.
6. Add your slice of cheese to the bottom of the bagel while lightly buttering the other side.
7. Place egg on top of the cheese slice and then layer with turkey sausage (flat side down).
8. Top off your sandwich with the top part of your bagel and enjoy!
Calories 310. Fat 15g. Protein 21g.
KP’s Tip: If you want to make two at a time (which I usually end up doing), just make two separate eggs in one pan and toast your bagels at the same time since you only use one slot for one bagel.
Make Ahead Breakfast Burrito

5. Lay out your piece of plastic wrap and burrito shell. Spread cheese on the bottom of the wrap, and then your egg-sausage mixture. Wrap tightly and then roll into plastic wrap securely. Repeat this process with all of wraps and place into plastic bag.
6. Throw in the freezer and enjoy whenever you want!
Calories 223. Fat 10g. Protein 23g.
KP’s Tip: I had some turkey-sausage mixture left over so I just threw the leftovers into a container in the fridge and had it for breakfast the next day. For a little spice, use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar. They freezer wonderfully and reheat nicely too.
