Slice the whole grain bagels in half and toast them in a toaster or skillet until golden brown.
While the bagels are toasting, prepare the avocado by slicing it in half, removing the pit, and scooping out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
Thinly slice the smoked tofu into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Slice the red onion into thin rings, and the tomato and cucumber into thin slices.
Once the bagels are toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of vegan cream cheese on each half of the bagels.
Evenly distribute the mashed avocado on the bottom halves of the bagels.
Layer the smoked tofu slices over the avocado.
Add a few slices of red onion, tomato, and cucumber on top of the tofu.
Place a generous amount of baby spinach leaves over the vegetables.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of capers on each sandwich for a tangy flavor.
Top the sandwich with the other half of the bagel, and gently press down.
Serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful vegan bagel sandwich.
