Tip: Try swapping your regular bread for some sprouted bread! It’s easier to digest, lower in carbs, and higher in protein & fiber. Sprouted grain bread is also lower in gluten, and has a lower glycemic index compared to regular bread. Freeze sprouted bread right away for optimal freshness, and the butter spreads on easier when frozen!

If you're not a fan of sprouted bread, ROYO makes low calorie, low carb, high protein bread and bagels that mimic the texture of regular bread. I was blown away with how soft and fluffy their bread is... 1 slice has only 2g net carbs and just 30 calories! 🤩 Use my code CHERYLM10 for a discount :)
