A Bread Lovers Dream come True!<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Ezekiel bread is made from organic, sprouted whole grains. The sprouting process changes the nutrient composition of the grains significantly.\u00a0 In contrast to most commercial breads, which consist primarily of refined wheat or pulverized whole wheat and SUGAR, Ezekiel bread contains several different types of grains and legumes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">4 types of cereal grains: Wheat, Millet, Barley and Spelt.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">2 types of legumes: Soybeans and Lentils.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">All the grains and all the legumes are organically grown (no GMOs) and allowed to sprout before they are processed, mixed together and baked to produce the final product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Bagels and English Muffins and Pita! Oh My!<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">My first time experimenting with Ezekiel Products I bought the works \u2013 bread, bagels, pita, tortillas, english muffins, everything!\u00a0 Here\u2019s my personal opinion on each:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Bread must be toasted!\u00a0 But not over toasted.\u00a0 Perfect warm and a little golden.\u00a0 The cinnamon raisin is delicious and my kid\u2019s favorite too \u2013 they use it for PBJ Sandwiches almost everyday.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Bagels are awesome!\u00a0 Thick and chewy just like you\u2019d expect.\u00a0 Really good for egg sandwiches!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Pita is another favorite.\u00a0 Can be a little delicate but they have a great texture and are perfect for sandwiches<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Tortillas \u2013 ehh. \u00a0They fall apart really easily and have a cardboard-like texture when toasted for something like a quesadilla. \u00a0Best in the microwave for 10-12 second just to warm it up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">English Muffins are my absolute favorite!\u00a0 I love all the flavors and eat one almost everyday.\u00a0 Thick and even chewier than the bagel.\u00a0 It really satisfies that carb craving but is low on calories and high on protein.\u00a0 These are a MUST have in my opinion!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Daily Uses for all my Bread Lovers!<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Now years later, I can\u2019t even remember the last time I had sliced bread and really don\u2019t miss it.\u00a0 Such an easy swap out to get the bread fix you want without the crap found in commercial products.\u00a0 So next time you\u2019re in the freezer section grab some of that funny sounding bread and give it a try!\u00a0 Your waistline will thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Here are some ideas on how to use ezekiel beyond a typical sandwich:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Croutons \u2013 I eat a lot of salads so it\u00a0was a big deal for me to have that crunch.\u00a0 I take one half of an english muffin, cut in into cubes, spray with extra virgin olive oil and toss with italian seasoning &amp; garlic powder then pop into toaster oven until browned and crunchy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Bread Crumbs \u2013 Toast full slices of bread and allow to cool then pulverize in the food processor until bread crumb consistency is reached.\u00a0 Great for meatballs or meatloaf.\u00a0 Try adding almonds into the food processor and using that mixture too bread chicken \u2013 nutty and crunchy!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">French Toast \u2013 this is DELICIOUS!\u00a0 And a staple in our house!\u00a0 Whisk together eggs, cinnamon and almond milk then\u00a0dip cinnamon raisin ezekiel bread into the mixture and allow to soak for a couple minutes.\u00a0 Spray griddle with non-stick spray and toast until golden on each side.\u00a0 Serve with REAL maple syrup or RAW honey and fresh berries.\u00a0 SO GOOD!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Chips \u2013 Split pita in half and cut into strips.\u00a0 Spray with extra virgin olive oil and toss with seasoning of choice then bake until crisp.\u00a0 Adds great crunch to salads or soups or even dip into guacamole!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Pizza \u2013 make your own thin crust pizza on tortilla or pita or use a bagel or english muffin for a thick crust.\u00a0 Get your kids involved with this one \u2013 put out chicken, veggies, sauce and chesse (my favorites are feta &amp; romano) then let them add the works!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Eat Clean,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Cortney<\/span><\/p>\n<p>PS &#8211; BUDGET SAVING TIP!
