Current TikTok sensation, protein bagel but make it cheesy spicy jalapeno and cheddar goodie with greek yogurt jalapeno salsa smear.
If you have had Einstein bagels’ Jalapeno Cheddar Bagels with their jalapeno salsa smear. You know it is hands down one of the best bagel cream cheese combo of all time. It is my absolute favorite. I do treat myself once in a while with that goodie. However this new lifestyle that I have been trying to commit to calls of well balanced high protein meals, especially the breakfast.
Now that TikTok has been flooded with these 2 ingredient high protein bagels, I had to give them a try. But make it as close to Einstein bagels’ Jalapeno Cheddar Bagels with their jalapeno salsa smear. I will not false claim and say it is an exact replica as my version is a healthier version of EB. But it is pretty darn close to it.
I took an inspiration from TikTok viral high protein recipe (thanks to whoever came up with it!) and tweak it to my own liking. These Jalapeno Cheddar Protein Bagels turned out amazing for being high protein healthy version. And I am sure to make it on regular basis. I love pairing it greek yogurt jalapeno salsa (recipe in the notes below). And I also like to use them to make fried egg sandwich using plain cream cheese and Italian Bomba sauce from Trader Joe’s. Both ways it is adding that touch of extra protein.
I am sure you have seen many versions of these viral goodie. If you are like me and want to try out viral recipes with your own touch, I say give these version a try. I promise you will enjoy these guilt free goodie. If you end up trying these and enjoy them, leave me comment below or tag me on Instagram @myvegetarianroots. I would love to get feedback from you on my content.
