Healthiest bread in the UK?

sarahrachel90

So I've recently began incorporating plant-based foods into my diet, and I don't want to give up bread for my lunches during the weekdays. I just really struggle to find a healthy, gluten free if possile, non-weird-ingredient-filled BREAD!
(Wraps would also work...)

Does anybody know any great breads out there for me?!

Thank you!!! (And Happy New Year!!)

Do you actually need gluten free bread? I'm not sure about the healthiest bread, but I'd go for whole grain from a local baker or super market if you're conscious about that.

Also, try not to label foods 'healthy' and 'unhealthy', as all foods are unhealthy in large quantities.

Gluten free bread is very difficult to find (and not that great tasing, in my opinion).

My favourite is Burgen bread, which has added seeds for extra nutritional value. It's about 111 calories per slice, but has a good amount of protein in it too, and tastes good.

If you're committed to a gluten free diet, I'd rethink your lunches. Vegetable soups, chicken salad, rice based dishes will give you more scope.

Not sure about GF but I'm home for xmas & my parents bought a fairly low-cal bread for the festive period- 'love life' wholemeal & rye from waitrose ... 78 cal per slice.
it's obviously an expensive supermarket though so I would never normally do a whole weekly shop there outside of xmas!

make it yourself. Much healthier, none of that preservative non sense and kneeding wholemeal is a great workoit.. even healthier if you let it double rise

I second Burgen bread. Tastes delicious and keeps me full for ages. I love it toasted with cheese and worcestershire sauce

Burgen is the BEST. Well, Soya and Linseed is....the others all just fall to pieces!

I normally get Danish bread which is significantly lower cal than regular bread. Warburton's & Kingsmill make it, as do weightwatcher's, and ASDA at least have an own brand version. You can normally get malted/brown in addition to white.

Dunno about 'healthy' since that's an arbitrary almost meaningless term, but having 55-65cal per slice (brand dependent) bread is a good thing for me.
