Customizing Your Bagels

Storage Tips

To keep your Protein Bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they can last for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy one, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or pop it in the toaster for a quick warm-up.

If you find that your bagels are a bit too hard after freezing, a quick mist of water before toasting can help restore some moisture and softness. This way, you can enjoy that chewy texture and crisp crust every time.

Serving Suggestions

These Protein Bagels can be enjoyed in various ways. For breakfast, try toasting one and spreading it with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit for a delightful morning treat. Alternatively, you can pair it with a slice of avocado and a sprinkle of salt for a savory option that’s sure to please.

For a more indulgent snack, layer on your favorite nut butter and add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup. The combination of protein and healthy fats will keep you energized throughout the day, making these bagels not only delicious but also a smart choice for your overall nutrition.
