Walk into any grocery store and pick a loaf, any loaf, from the bread aisle. Even if you opted for a healthier whole-wheat option, chances are the two main ingredients are still refined wheat and sugar<\/a>. But if you back away from those pillowy, plastic-wrapped poufs and head to the frozen aisle\u2026t<\/em>hat\u2019s <\/em>where the good stuff is.<\/p>\n

Here you\u2019ll find ezekiel, the true wonder bread of breads. Besides being preservative-free and therefore kept frozen, ezekiel bread is different in several ways. Unlike its carby counterparts, ezekiel contains no flour, no sugar, no dairy and less gluten<\/a>. It\u2019s also made from several different types of sprouted organic grains and legumes \u2014 a combination that makes it a complete source of protein<\/a> with four grams per serving.<\/p>\n

The sprouting process that these grains undergo increases their nutrient value<\/a> and makes vitamins and minerals more accessible to the body. Sprouting also breaks down anti-nutrients<\/a> that prevent proper absorption of nutrients and minerals, thus making ezekiel easier to digest. You also get more fiber<\/a> (three grams per serving) eating ezekiel, which keeps you fuller for longer. No sugar spikes here, folks!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to top your ezekiel toast with more than butter and jam, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Here are 11 novel and nutritious ezekiel toast recipes to try now.<\/p>\n
