HORSHAM, Pa., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For the early risers, list-makers, gym-goers and the ones who believe that a great day starts with a steadfast routine – Thomas'^® proudly introduces its newest product – Thomas'^® High Protein Bagels. Most breakfast eaters (64%)¹ believe a better for you breakfast should be packed with protein and, with 20 grams of protein per bagel, new Thomas'^® High Protein Bagels satisfy the appetites and ambitions of those who power through life. These bagels offer a delicious, convenient and nutritious high-protein breakfast with the great taste and texture that only Thomas' 140 years of baking expertise can provide.

New Thomas'^® High Protein Bagels are available in two classic flavors — Plain and Everything —and provide a boost to people actively looking to increase their protein intake. The plant-based protein blend of soy protein isolate, pea protein isolate, and fava bean proteins ensure a complete amino acid profile as well as a deliciously satisfying texture.

Thomas'^® High Protein Bagels are an excellent source of protein, delivering significantly more protein than the average competitor. Designed with busy mornings in mind, they offer a customizable and convenient breakfast option.

Thomas' dates back to 1880 when Samuel Bath Thomas created his original English Muffin in New York City using a secret process that included griddle baking to create the famous Nooks & Crannies English Muffin. The company has since added bagels, muffin tops and breakfast breads, including a line of swirl breads, to its breakfast offerings. Today, Thomas' sells the #1 English Muffin and #1 grocery bagel in the U.S. For a full list of Thomas' products and where to buy them, please visit www.thomasbreads.com.
