Health Benefits of Turmeric

This powerful antioxidant has been linked to reduced inflammation, improved digestion, and enhanced brain function. Incorporating turmeric into your diet can be a simple yet effective way to support your overall health.

In addition to its health benefits, turmeric adds a vibrant color and warm flavor to your golden milk. This comforting drink is not only soothing but also a delightful way to enjoy the benefits of turmeric.

How to Make Protein Bagels

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Add the olive oil and water, then stir until a dough forms.

Shape the Bagels

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the Bagels

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bagels for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack.

Make the Turmeric Golden Milk

In a saucepan, combine almond milk, turmeric, cinnamon, honey, and ginger. Heat over medium heat until warm, stirring frequently. Do not boil.

Serve

Enjoy the protein bagels warm with a cup of turmeric golden milk on the side.

Storage and Reheating 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 extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Place the cooled bagels in a freezer-safe bag, and they can last for up to three months. Simply toast or warm them in the oven when you're ready to enjoy.

For the Turmeric Golden Milk, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, stirring to combine the ingredients again. Avoid boiling to maintain the smooth texture and flavor of the milk.

Serving Suggestions

These Protein Bagels are excellent on their own, but you can elevate your breakfast experience with various toppings. Consider adding sliced avocado and a sprinkle of salt for a creamy and satisfying meal, or spread some almond butter and top with banana slices for a sweet treat.

For a savory twist, try adding smoked salmon and cream cheese, garnished with capers and fresh dill. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds even more protein to your meal. Pair your bagels with fresh fruit or a side salad for a complete breakfast that keeps you energized and satisfied.
