I am always on the hunt for healthier versions of bread products. I came across a "paleo" bread by Julian Bakery. It is gluten free, grain free and low carb.
I can't say I love this bread, but it is nice to throw together a sandwich for only 4 grams of net carbs!
The trick is to toast it as much as you can before burning it.
I just wish I could find a bread this healthy that tastes like crunchy sourdough 
:)
My sandwich is 1 over medium egg, 2 slices of nitrate free ham and mashed avocado.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup hazelnuts
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup cacao powder
½ cup coconut oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions:
Soak the hazelnuts in water overnight, then drain and rinse well.
Put hazelnuts in a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth, then add salt and pulse to combine. Add cocoa powder and coconut oil and blend to combine. If necessary scrape down sides of the jar. Add maple syrup and blend to form a paste. If by any chance the mixture separates, add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while blender is running to bring the mixture back together.
Place the Nutella in a jar and store in a refrigerator for two weeks. Serve with apple slices as a snack.
Sugar and sugar substitutes are always a topic of controversy.
Artificial sweeteners like Splenda, Equal, Sweet-n-Low, Acesulfame Potassium and Neotame are all detrimental to health. Be sure to read all ingredient lists to avoid these sneaky sweeteners.
The best sweetener options are raw local honey, stevia or monk fruit.
*Avoid agave as it is 70-90% fructose!
Are you reading nutrition facts and ingredient lists when you are looking for a little splurge?
This caught my eye walking down the aisle. My first impression is portion control. But, once I looked and saw 55 grams of net carbs (SUGAR) and the toxic preservatives, I just shook my head.
It is easy to be deceived by pretty packaging, so be sure to read the macro-nutrient balance and the ingredients.
