Choosing a loaf of bread in the endless bread aisle can be confusing and down-right overwhelming!
It doesn’t have to be though, with a few quick tips and key things to look for you can leave the store with a wholesome loaf of bread, without spending a ton of time!
- 100% Whole Grain – look for the whole-grain stamp and check the ingredients, the first few ingredients should at least be whole-grain
- No sugar or high fructose corn syrup (If a sweetener is in the bread, it should not be in the first 5 ingredients)
- Each slice should have at least 2-3 grams of fiber and 2-3 grams of protein – the combination of protein and fiber will help fill you up
- All-Natural or Organic is always a bonus – long ingredient lists with tons of preservatives is never a good thing
I generally stick with sprouted bread and my beloved hemp bagels which are often found in the freezer, depending on the store. (And baguettes made with white flour on special occasions 
)
What kind of bread do you buy?

Haha, so I know you have a slight “preference” for certain brands of bread. But you have to admit – going into Great Harvest for that [half-loaf sized] “sample” slice is fantassstic!
I never go to Great Harvest (working at a bakery may have something to do with it) but I’ll have to go check it out. Fresh bread is amazing, regardless of where it comes from!

we buy a local bakery’s 9 grain bread most of the time.
Hemp bagels? I’ve never seen those! I’ll have to see if I can find them around here.

I usually buy Rudi’s Organic 100% whole wheat for sandwiches, and make everything else from scratch.
I wish I could say the same! This fall I’ll start joining you – hopefully it will still be going on!

Thanks for all the tips. I usually go by the ingredient list, make sure it’s whole wheat, and has a good amount of fiber. There are literally so many options out there-it’s a little ridiculous!

We typically buy 100% Whole Wheat Bread, but I was wondering if there was a difference between that and Multigrain Bread?
