About Protein bagel

A protein bagel is a high-protein variation of the traditional bagel, which is believed to have originated in Poland and is a staple in Jewish cuisine. Unlike regular bagels, protein bagels are enriched with higher protein content through ingredients such as whey protein, pea protein, or vital wheat gluten. These bagels typically have a nutritional profile that includes 10-20 grams of protein per serving, depending on the recipe, along with varying amounts of carbohydrates and fiber. Protein bagels are often favored by athletes and individuals seeking a balanced diet, as they combine the satisfaction of bread with the nutritional benefit of increased protein to support muscle repair and overall health.

Health Benefits

• Provides sustained energy through its complex carbohydrates, which help maintain steady blood sugar levels.
• Supports digestive health if made with whole grain flours or added fiber, contributing to daily fiber intake.
