Best Keto Bagels to Buy: A Net-Carb Buying Guide
Store-bought keto bagels are made with wheat gluten, wheat protein isolate, or oat fiber instead of wheat flour, which is how brands cut a 45–50 g-carb bagel down toward 0–5 g net carbs. The two most established brands, ThinSlim Foods and Great Low Carb Bread Co., both currently list 0 g net carbs per bagel on their nutrition labels. This guide compares what's actually on those labels so you can decide what fits your macros.
A note on how this guide was built: prices, ingredient lists, and nutrition figures below come from each brand's own product pages, checked in August 2026. No claim here is based on a taste test — we did not sample these products ourselves, so texture and flavor aren't scored. Prices and stock change; verify both at checkout before you buy.
A traditional wheat bagel runs roughly 45–50 g of total carbs, most of it starch, which makes an everyday bagel a hard fit for a 20–50 g daily net-carb budget on its own.1 Keto bagel brands solve this by replacing most of the wheat flour with vital wheat gluten, wheat protein isolate, or oat fiber — ingredients that add structure and protein without the starch. Use our net-carb calculator to see how any bagel fits your remaining carbs for the day, and check the keto food list for what else pairs well with one. This guide is one of nine brand comparisons in our best keto products hub, which explains our picking method in full.
What are the best keto bagels to buy?
The two most established store-bought keto bagel brands are ThinSlim Foods (Zero Net Carb Everything Bagels, $8.99) and Great Low Carb Bread Co. (Plain and Cinnamon Bagels, $10.99 for a bag of six). Both list 0 g net carbs per bagel on their current product pages, and both build the bagel around wheat gluten and oat fiber rather than almond or coconut flour, which keeps the texture closer to a real bagel than most grain-free alternatives.
| Brand | Net carbs/bagel (label) | Fiber | Protein | Price | Where to buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ThinSlim Foods Everything Bagel | 0 g (label claim) | 14 g | 14 g | $8.99 / bag | thinslimfoods.com |
| Great Low Carb Bread Co. Plain Bagel | 0 g | 16 g | 14 g | $10.99 / 6-pack | greatlowcarb.com |
| Great Low Carb Bread Co. Cinnamon Bagel | 0 g | 16 g | 14 g | $10.99 / 6-pack | greatlowcarb.com |
Both "0 g net carbs" figures are brand claims, not a line defined by the FDA. Compare the current Nutrition Facts panel, serving size, and ingredients rather than assuming the two companies use identical accounting.
How did we pick these brands?
We compared current nutrition labels and ingredient panels directly from each brand's product pages rather than running a hands-on taste test. The criteria were net carbs per bagel, ingredient quality (real allergen and additive disclosure, no vague "natural flavors" carb math), price per bagel, and whether the product is a bagel specifically — not a round roll marketed loosely as one. Brands that don't currently sell a labeled bagel SKU were excluded rather than substituted.
We did not sample these products, so we can't report on taste or texture — only what's printed on the label. If you want a hands-on comparison, the best move is to buy one bagel from each brand you're considering before committing to a full case.
ThinSlim Foods
ThinSlim Foods' current Zero Net Carb Bagels page lists $8.99 for six. The label shows 90 calories, 14 g total carbs, 14 g fiber, and 14 g protein per bagel, so the brand claims 0 g net carbs.2 The page also states that its nutrition figures are independently lab-tested.
Great Low Carb Bread Co.
Great Low Carb Bread Co. sells Plain and Cinnamon Bagels in bags of six for $10.99, at 110 calories, 16 g fiber, and 14 g protein per bagel with 0 g net carbs listed.3 The ingredient list — water, oat fiber, wheat protein isolate, vital wheat gluten, olive oil, yeast, salt, and modified wheat starch (plus stevia and cinnamon in the cinnamon variety) — uses modified wheat starch for texture, one of the ingredients worth double-checking against your own carb count (see below).
Frozen vs. shelf-stable: which should you buy?
Both ThinSlim Foods and Great Low Carb Bread Co. ship their bagels shelf-stable or frozen depending on order size, and either format keeps well if you freeze what you won't eat within about a week. Shelf-stable bags are easier for pantry storage and travel; frozen multi-packs are usually the better per-bagel price if you go through them regularly. Toast from frozen rather than thawing on the counter — low-carb bagels dry out faster than wheat ones once thawed.
What should you check on the label before buying?
Treat a front-of-package "net carbs" number as a shortcut, then check the Nutrition Facts panel and ingredients. Sugar alcohols differ in how much the body absorbs, and larger servings can cause gastrointestinal symptoms. The words "sugar alcohol" do not establish that an ingredient has no effect for every person.4
Run the ingredient list against the keto grocery shopping list before you buy a case, and use the keto shopping list tool to build out the rest of your cart. If a keto bagel doesn't fit your budget or you can't find one locally, our best low-carb bread and best keto hamburger buns guides cover close substitutes that use the same base ingredients.
