Mmmmm. . . while there are many foods that fit this description, today I’d like to briefly share the virtues of Ezekial bread. Why? Because as the official 2nd day of spring we could all use some more real, live, high energy food in our diets. Unlike other breads containing flour, gluten, and other possibly undesirable additives, sweeteners, and preservatives that will weigh you down Ezekial is made from sprouted grains and is completely flourless. What does this mean for you? It’s easier to digest, provides you more long-lasting energy, AND is highly alkalizing to your body.
Why is it easier to digest than other breads? Because the whole grains have been sprouted they contain enzymes that assist in digestion instead of drawing from your own enzyme stores. What about energy? Eating live foods like fruits, vegetables, and sprouted whole grains give you more energy because they contain high levels of nutrients AND because your body has to do less work in breaking them down thus reserving you more energy to enjoy. Finally, all foods contribute to either acidity or alkalinity in your body. Most people in the United States are too acidic. This is due to lifestyle and diet. Too much stress, highly processed foods, soda, sugar, white flour and meat in the diet will contribute to acidity. To alkalize your body eat more fruits, vegetables and sprouted grain breads like Ezekial.
My two personal favorite Ezekial bread snacks/breakfasts are 2 pieces of toasted Ezekial bread with either sliced avocado or almond butter and sliced banana. You can also try Ezekial brand sprouted tortillas and roll up your favorite veggies with beans, brown rice, and avocado for a tasty lunch.
