Meal Prep Made Easy

In today's fast-paced world, meal prep is essential for maintaining a healthy diet. These Protein Bagels are not only easy to make, but they also freeze beautifully, allowing you to prepare a batch in advance. Simply store them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and you can enjoy a quick breakfast or snack at your convenience.

To reheat, just pop them in the toaster or oven for a few minutes, and they'll taste as fresh as the day you made them. This makes them an ideal choice for busy mornings or when you're on the go. Pair them with nut butter, cream cheese, or avocado for a satisfying meal that's ready in minutes.

Customizing Your Bagels

While these Protein Bagels are delicious as-is, they also serve as a fantastic base for your culinary creativity. Feel free to swap out the everything seasoning for your favorite flavors. Add in herbs and spices like rosemary, garlic powder, or even cheese for a unique twist that caters to your taste preferences.

You can also experiment with different toppings. Sliced tomatoes, smoked salmon, or fresh greens can elevate your bagel experience to new heights. The versatility of these bagels makes them suitable for any occasion, whether it's a casual breakfast or a fancy brunch with friends.

Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to make your Protein Bagels:

Bagel Dough

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup water (as needed)

Everything Seasoning

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons dried garlic
2 tablespoons dried onion
1 tablespoon coarse salt

Make sure all ingredients are fresh for the best flavor!

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Protein Bagels:

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and honey. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add water a little at a time until it comes together.

Shape the Bagels

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Add the Everything Seasoning

In a small bowl, mix the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and coarse salt. Sprinkle the seasoning generously on top of each bagel.

Bake the Bagels

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bagels for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

Enjoy your freshly baked Protein Bagels with your favorite spreads or toppings!

Storage Tips

To keep your Protein Bagels fresh, store them in a sealed bag or container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Wrap each bagel individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. This method preserves their texture and flavor, allowing you to enjoy them whenever you like.

When you're ready to eat a frozen bagel, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or pop it directly into the toaster. This ensures you always have a healthy, homemade option on hand, ready to fuel your day.

Nutritional Benefits

These protein-packed bagels are not just a tasty treat; they also provide a range of health benefits. Whole wheat flour is rich in fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. The inclusion of Greek yogurt adds probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health, enhancing your overall well-being.

Protein plays a crucial role in muscle repair and growth. By incorporating protein powder into your bagels, you're supporting your fitness goals, making them a great post-workout snack. Plus, they are lower in carbohydrates compared to traditional bagels, making them suitable for those watching their carb intake.
