Whole wheat bread

Now, let’s be honest: technically, all bread is processed. I mean, no one is pulling whole leaves straight off a bread tree.

But just because the bread we eat is processed doesn’t mean we should avoid it altogether.

When you decide to try a variety that’s made with whole wheat as the first ingredient, you will definitely get the golden benefits, which are fiber, micronutrients, and a little bit of protein.

As Haley Bishoff, RDN, the owner of Rūtsu Nutrition in Las Vegas, said, you can still get a processed yet healthy version of bread by eating Dave’s Killer Bread.

The majority of Dave’s breads are full of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and even a couple of grams of protein per slice. While bread generally gets a bad reputation, there are many whole-grain options that could be seen as a healthy diet staple.
