Better Brands’ Low-Carb Bagel + Cometeer’s New Frozen Coffee – Xtalks Food Podcast Ep. 35

Will a low-carb, high-protein bagel find success among its unhealthier counterparts? In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney introduces the team to the Better Bagel, the first product from California-based startup Better Brands. Its founder, Aimee Yang, believes daily bagel eaters shouldn’t have to sacrifice taste and nutrition, so she created the Better Bagel, which is low in carbs and sugar and high in protein. The team discuss how the keto trend tends to replace bread products with entirely different food groups, but praises Better Brands for improving upon the traditionally high-carb breakfast bagel.

Also, in this episode, Mira talks the newest innovation in the coffee space from coffee-tech startup Cometeer. The company creates frozen coffee pods akin to pucks that are packaged in a fully recyclable capsule. When placed in a hot cup of water, it can be stirred in to create nearly any coffee beverage. Unlike many coffee brands, Cometeer’s frozen coffee pucks are sustainably made and packaged. The team discuss whether they would try the frozen coffee and where Cometeer will fit into the $35 million global specialty coffee market.
