Current <3: Bread Alone

bread alone

I usually eat a slice of bread every morning. I cover it with creamy (or, when I’m in the mood, crunchy) peanut butter and half of a sliced banana. Latley, however, I’ve been sick of the cheap, poorly made bread I’ve been buying for the past year now.

Last month, I discovered Bread Alone. Believe me when I say I will never eat generic bread again.

Why do I love Bread Alone?

  • It’s organic and has VERY minimal ingredients
  • It’s local (the bread is baked in New York’s Hudson Valley)
  • The bread is baked fresh and never frozen
  • The bread is sold at most supermarkets in NYC as well as cafes and farmer’s markets
  • You can absolutely taste the quality. You know how corner store bread (even whole wheat) does that thing where you can squeeze it and it condenses into a ball and then it will slowly take “shape” again. Not this bread. It is fluffy and and firm with no added fillers – or whatever the heck is in cheap bread that makes it do that.

It is a little more expensive, I paid about $4.50 for a loaf of whole wheat, compared to $2.50 that I pay for the low quality whole wheat bread. But it’s time to start shelling out more money for things that are important in life. And there is nothing more important than what we eat.

  1. How many calories is in one slice? I like to keep each slice of bread under 100 calories.

  2. I agree. I don’t mind spending more on food, really. I know that it’s good to be practical, and that it’s smart to save and look for alternatives, but good quality food will always be worth the extra bucks we spend. :)
