Flatbread

I found a great deal at Smith's this week: buy one bag of Flatout Flatbread, get another one free! So... we've been experimenting with Flatbread this week. I bought the "Healthy Multi-Grain with Flax" kind.



We have used it as tortillas for burritos and wraps. We also experimented with flatbread pizza tonight for dinner. It wasn't quite as tasty as normal pizza, but it wasn't bad either. We visited the Flatout website for recipes: www.flatoutbread.com

In one piece of this flatbread there is 8g of dietary fiber (31% of your daily value), 9 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar, and 100 calories. On the downside, it is a bit high in sodium at 280 mg a piece. Just to compare... 1 slice of the Nature's Pride Double Fiber 100% Whole Wheat bread has 5g of fiber, 5g of protein, 4g of sugar, and is also 100 calories. There is less sodium though at 150mg. Of course you also have to consider that most of us eat two slices of bread together. That would give us more fiber and protein, but also more calories, sugar, and sodium.

Keeping all of that in mind, I think flatbread is the healthier choice. I might have to go back and buy more!
