Have Your Bread and Eat It Too… Sara Lee Delightful Soft & Smooth Wheat Bread
Sara Lee Delightful Soft & Smooth Wheat Bread—a client recently sent this one in, so let’s break it down. while it’s not quite as protein-packed as some of the previous options, it’s still a solid choice for those looking for a lower-calorie, high-fiber bread.
Nutritional Breakdown (Per 2 Slices):
✔ 5g protein
✔ 7g fiber
✔ 0g sugar
✔ 11g non-fiber carbs
✔ 22% of calories from protein
How It Compares
Compared to Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart breads, this is:
✅ Lower in protein—about 50% less protein per calorie.
✅ Lower in fiber—but still a solid source.
✅ Higher in carbs—about 50% more per calorie.
✅ Still a decent option—especially for those who prefer a softer, more traditional wheat bread.
Why You Can Eat This Bread
While not as protein-packed as other options, it still offers:
✔ A solid fiber boost—one serving (2 slices) provides ~25% of daily fiber needs for women and ~20% for men.
✔ A lower overall calorie count compared to standard bread.
✔ A reasonable balance between fiber, protein, and carbs for those looking for a softer, more familiar bread.
How to Use It
This bread works well for:
🥪 Classic sandwiches—a great everyday option for lunch.
🍞 Toast with toppings—pairs well with nut butter, eggs, or sugar-free jam.
🍕 Mini bread pizzas—toast, add toppings, and broil.
🥓 Grilled cheese or paninis—a lighter, fiber-rich twist on a classic.
🍽 Side for soups & salads—adds fiber without excessive calories.
While it’s not the highest protein, lowest carb option out there, it’s still a reasonable choice for those looking to enjoy bread without overloading on calories or sugar.
If you’re looking for a middle-ground option—higher fiber than standard bread but lower protein than carb-smart varieties—this one is worth considering!
