Alternatively, if you aren’t concerned with carbs and are just looking for an easy vegetarian lunch option, just use your favorite bagel. 

Substitutions

You can stuff your keto Veggie Bagels with whatever fillings take your fancy (or whatever is left in the refrigerator!)

They work especially well with different types of cheese (shredded mozzarella or smoky cheddar are great choices), or why not opt for a millennial-style lunch with classic smashed avocado, lime juice, salt and pepper?

Alternatively, you can mix up your vegetable choices by substituting some of these great ingredients:

• Sautéed mushrooms
• Zucchini
• Bell peppers
• Lettuce or spinach.

If a healthy boost of protein is what you’re after, throw in some bacon, ham, grilled chicken, or eggs cooked however you prefer. Truly, this is a very versatile recipe. 

Are these sandwiches good for meal prep?

Absolutely! Sandwiches are legendary in the world of meal prep, and these keto Veggie Bagels are no different. For an easy workday lunch, slice and prepare your veggies in advance and keep refrigerated (they should last 2 or 3 days).

When you’re ready to eat or before heading out for the day, simply add the toppings you would like to your keto bagel and go. Keep your lunchtime treat safe by wrapping tightly in foil and storing in an airtight container or lunchbox.

Avoid putting the whole bagel together more than a few hours in advance, though, as you don’t want to risk it going soggy.
