Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (8g protein)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (10g protein)
  • 1 scoop whey or plant-based protein powder (20g protein)

3️⃣ Add Greek yogurt and egg whites, then mix until a dough forms.

4️⃣ Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 2 minutes.

5️⃣ Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into small balls.

6️⃣ Shape each ball into a bagel by poking a hole in the center and stretching slightly.

8️⃣ Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
