HORSHAM, PA. — Bimbo Bakeries USA has added to its Thomas’ portfolio with the launch of Thomas’ High Protein Bagels. The bagels feature 20 grams of protein per bagel, making them an “excellent source of protein,” according to BBU.

BBU said the bagels contain a plant-based protein blend of soy protein isolate, pea protein isolate and fava bean proteins. They are available in two flavors: plain and everything.

“Today’s consumers are looking for convenient, protein-rich options that don’t compromise on taste,” said Jinder Bhogal, senior brand manager for Thomas’. “Our new High Protein Bagels offer consumers variety with a breakfast solution that’s not only packed with nutrition but also rooted in the iconic flavor Thomas’ is known for.”

Nicole Alper, innovation manager, added, “We set out to create a protein-forward product that fits into real life — whether you’re topping it with cream cheese, eggs, or avocado — it’s versatile, satisfying and designed with wellness in mind.”

Thomas’ High Protein Bagels are currently available in four-count bags at a suggested retail price of $5.99. National distribution is expected by October.
