Being mindful of carbs doesn’t mean we have to eliminate everyday favorites like sliced bread! Registered dietitian Molly Kimball shares her top picks for bread that’s delicious and nourishing as well.

DAVE’S KILLER BREAD

  • 21 Whole Grain & Seed and PowerSeed are my favorites.
  • All-organic + nonGMO and 100% whole grain.
  • Looking to trim back carbs a bit?  Opt for the THIN sliced varieties of DKB!

BASE CULTURE BREAD

  • 7 Nut & Seed and Original Paleo Bread are my top pick within this brand.
  • Ingredient include eggs, almond butter, flaxseed, psyllium husk, almond flour, apple cider vinegar
  • All gluten-free ingredient without the white rice, potato or tapioca starches in many GF breads
  • Per slice: 110 calories and 4 grams net carbs

SOURDOUGH BREAD, 100% WHOLE GRAIN

  • Artisan-style, homemade DIY with sourdough starter
  • Store-bought – e.g. Bellegarde Bakery and other local artisan bakeries
  • Update:  As of July 25, Bellegarde Bakery is temporarily closing due to Covid-19
  • Traditional sourdough bread has an extended fermentation time, so the yeast has more time to digest the gluten, making it easier for us to digest, particularly individuals who may normally be sensitive to the effects of gluten
