"Ode to Food"
I hope you have a Whole Foods Market near you. If so, you can find these two great products that I like to help you get more fiber in your diet.
Fiber is not just needed by your body for bowel movements, but is needed to help with sugar balancing, overall digestive health, and by extension immune health. Fiber, when taking 35 grams or more a day, can actually help you lose weight. It won’t help you lose 30 pounds in 30 days, but it will help you lose it at a lot healthier pace.
365 Organic High Fiber Cereal
The first product is an organic high fiber cereal from our private label brand, 365 Organic. This cereal has 8 grams of fiber per serving. The serving size is only 1/2 cup! And at only $2.99 (our B’ham AL price), you can’t beat it. An average bowl of cereal for most people is 2 servings, which is 16 grams of fiber.
I know you’re wondering if this tastes like cardboard, but it actually tastes really good. I hate cardboard.
365 Birdland Multi Seed Bread
The second product, is a bread we carry in our bakery. Again, this is a private label brand. It’s our 365 brand Birdland Multiseed Bread. This bread packs a whopping 5 grams per slice! That’s 10 grams for a sandwich!
This bread is surprising soft, and doesn’t taste like cardboard either.
With a large family on a budget, we eat oatmeal for breakfast every other day of the week. On the other alternating day, we usually have some sort of bread or bagel, with eggs.
Here’s two of our favorites:
This is Ezra’s bowl of bright red Raspberry Brown Sugar Oatmeal! Mmmmm… He had three bowls this morning!
Now, not all frozen fruit tastes good with oatmeal. You need a fruit with a strong flavor, like raspberries.
The second is a personal favorite of mine. I call it Cream Cheesy Egg Surprise. I know it’s not very catchy or creative, but it’s one of my favorite meals to have.
It’s a piece of buttered toast and cream cheese, topped with scrambled eggs. It really is good, trust me. Again, this meal doesn’t cost much either. Bread, Eggs, Cream Cheese, and Butter are all basic staple items that are all affordable.
