Storage Tips
To keep your Protein Bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Simply wrap each bagel individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to eat, you can thaw them overnight in the fridge or pop them in the toaster for a quick warm-up.
It's also a good idea to slice the bagels before freezing, as this makes it easier to toast them directly from the freezer. This way, you'll have a delicious, warm bagel ready in just minutes!

The protein from the protein powder and Greek yogurt aids in muscle repair and keeps your energy levels steady throughout the day.
Additionally, the Everything Seasoning adds not only flavor but also a range of nutrients. Ingredients like sesame seeds are rich in calcium, while dried garlic and onion offer antioxidant properties. This makes each bagel not just a meal but a powerhouse of nutrition.
