As I hope you already know, I’m not a professional food critic, but I try to share things that I enjoy and find healthful. I recently heard about Ezekiel bread and thought I’d try it when I found it on sale at a local specialty foods store.

The company promotes its flour-free baking process, and it apparently has a much lower glycemic index than traditional bread. I decided to try it, and I must admit that I really like it. The bread seems like more than just something to hold the sandwich in place; it is part of the meal. I can’t attest to significant weightloss, but the Ezekiel bread is something I’ve only had a couple of times a week. I don’t think that it has had an adverse effect on my blood sugar, but then again, I don’t check it like a diabetic would. I just know – from learning the hard way – that too many carbs don’t set well with my digestive system.

Ezekiel bread seems like a good alternative, though it is still a “splurge” for me to eat. Considering the alternatives, though, if I’m craving pb&j, then it’s certainly a better alternative (with natural pb and sugar-free jelly) than a normal sandwich. 😉
