Sandwiches and Toasties

The Most Beneficial Types of Bread

Of course we all love sandwiches and toast … and bread is a staple part of most of our diet.  What we do want to do, as with all of the fuel we put into our bodies is aim for those with the best nutritional values.  Bread is a complex carbohydrate and should be eaten in moderation (4 slices per day on average).

The best bread you can have is home made.  You can research all of the ingredients yourself and using a breadmaker very easily make the bread that best suits you.

The following are breads that are widely available and for various reasons (which can be researched online) are the best value for health.

 

Healthy Bread

The most beneficial breads are:

  • Wholemeal
  • Seeded
  • Rye, Spelt and Wheat

Followed by:

  • Granary
  • Soda
  • Wholemeal Pitta

Of Course there are so many other breads that are widely available now but do your research before you switch from one of the above.

As an aside, the only spread you should use is butter.

Banana, Cinnamon and Honey Toastie

Banana Cinnamon and Honey Toastie

 

Mash a well ripened banana in a bowl with a half to one teaspoon of cinnamon to taste and 1 teaspoon of real honey.

This is 3 of our Must Have Superfoods that sould be included in every diet

From your choice of healthy bread take two slices and very lightly butter one side of each.  

Spread the mashed banana, cinnamon and honey mixture on the unbuttered side of one of the slices and top with the other slice of bread, buttered side out.

To cook, either grill, use a toastie maker or use a none stick pan until both sides of the bread are golden brown.

Either serve straight … (most healthy way) or sprinkle lightly with Vanilla Icing Sugar.

Enjoy 😀 x

You could also take this to work as a regular sandwich (with or without butter but on the inside 😀 ), without toasting and there are lots more exciting and yummy variations on this to come.
