I'm an Arnold bread fan and if you ever come over to enjoy our pool, you would always find a stock of Arnold Bread Thins in our refrigerator and freezer. There are so many reasons why I love these carb and calorie reduced little powerhouses. Now, I found out that Arnold or as others might know this brand as Brownberry or Oroweat, there is Nutty Grain Health-full Bread!
This is ideal for me because I try to pick whole grain breads which also delivers low carbs and calories but doesn't skip out on taste. I strive for a high fiber diet and it looks like this will give me the alternative when I want a slice of bread over a Sandwich Thin. It has only 80 calories a slice and provides a nutty flavor of toasted sesame seeds (yummy!). Another HUGE bonus for me, no artificial coloring, flavors OR preservatives.
Here are some tasty recipes that I'm going to try:
