Fiber: Itâs the unsung hero of breakfasts everywhereâgood for your gut, great for your energy, and (letâs be honest) the best way to make bagel indulgence feel a little bit virtuous. At Fast Bagel, we love a bagel thatâs both soul-satisfying and secretly smart for you. But which bagel really wins the fiber game?
Whole Wheat Takes the Crown
Ask any breakfast expert (or any secretly fiber-obsessed New Jerseyan), and the top answer is almost always whole wheat bagels. Whole wheat flour keeps the bran intact, which means way higher fiber than the average plain or white bagel. On average, a whole wheat bagel delivers about 4â6 grams of fiber per servingâdouble or sometimes triple what youâll find in a classic white bagel.
Looking for those extra couple of grams? Think outside the âplainâ with bagels that feature seeds (such as flax, chia, or poppy) or added grains. These add not just crunch, but a fiber boost thanks to their naturally high content.
Why is Fiber a Big Deal?
- Keeps you fuller, longer (no mid-morning bagel withdrawal!).
- Supports happy digestion and gut health.
- Helps keep blood sugar steady and energy high.
At Fast Bagel, we believe bagels can be both âfunâ and âfunctional.â Because whatâs the point in feeling sluggish after breakfast when you could be bustling with bagel-powered energy, right?
How to Spot a High-Fiber Bagel
- Read the Label: Look for âwhole wheatâ or âwhole grainâ as the first ingredient.
- Ask the Experts: (Thatâs us!) Donât be shyânext time you order, ask which bagel is highest in fiber or view our menu options online. Our team is always happy to steer you to the gut-friendly choices.
- Try a Topper: Amp up any bagelâs fiber by adding veggie toppings, seed butters, or even a classic schmear with sliced veggies for extra crunch.
