I am obsessed with eating a keto asiago bagel. They are SO yummy and paired with some smoked salmon and cream cheese, they are a HIT and if eating too much salmon wasn’t an issue – I’d eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I think one of the better things about these bagels is that they aren’t made with fathead dough. While I like fathead dough, you can only take so much of it before it gets tiring.

So instead, these are made with almond flour and whey protein. The whey is so light and fluffy that it gives the bagels the texture of an actual bagel.

If you want to replace the whey, I recommend using collagen, pea or egg protein. They should work just as well!

If you’re looking to replace it with something that is NOT protein powder, you could try a 1/4 cup of psyllium husk. Note, I have NOT tried it.

Yes – you can toast them too! I highly recommend! I also suggest topping it with some lox and cream cheese. Oh my goodness, so delicious!
