Arnold Healthfull Hearty Wheat Bread Review

Arnold Healthfull Hearty Wheat Bread

I have an affinity for sandwiches and so I'm always checking out new whole grain breads. The other day, I saw Arnold Healthfull Hearty Wheat Bread on sale, so I decided to try it.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 slice (38 grams)
Calories: 80
Total Fat: 0.5 grams, 1%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 150 mg, 6%
Carbohydrates: 17 grams
Fiber: 4 grams, 16%
Sugars: 2 grams
Protein: 5 grams

The taste is typical of other Arnold Breads I've tried before - slightly sweet and soft in the middle in just the right way. The only other thing is that the crust of this bread is a little too ... crusty (ha) - I mean hard. When the bread isn't toasted, I could handle it, but when toasted, it gets even harder and I ended up cutting it off - and I hate wasting food.

Each slice weighs 5 grams less than Arnold Healthy Multi-Grain Bread - 38 grams (compared to 43 grams) and provides 80 calories, 4 grams of fiber (16% of the daily value), 2 grams of sugars (2 grams less than the Hearty MultiGrain Bread) and 5 grams of protein.

I bought it on sale for $2.99 (prices can go down to $2.50 on sale) and although I prefer the Arnold Healthy Multi-Grain Bread (and would buy that over this), I would buy the Arnold Healthfull Hearty Wheat Bread again since it has a decent amount of fiber and protein, and it's low in calories.

Arnold Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins Review

Arnold Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins

Lately, all my sandwiches have been made using Arnold 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins - which should tell you how much I just adore 'em.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 bun (43 grams)
Calories: 100
Total Fat: 1 gram, 2%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 230 mg, 10%
Carbohydrates: 1 grams
Fiber: 5 grams, 20%
Sugar: 2 grams
Protein: 5 grams

First, let's get this out of the way - the round slices of this bread/ bun hybrid are thin, way thinner than we're used to. But I'm not complaining as this has really made no difference in my sandwiches. They still hold together very well - although I'm not in the habit of making triple decked jumbo beef burgers, so I wouldn't know about that. What I do know is that my Quorn Turk'y Burger on this 100% Whole Wheat sandwich thin was just as good as ever; I use them as taco shells, hot dog buns and as the base for mini-pizzas. There is a hearty, bready & slightly sweet taste that's just crazy good.

Coupons.com

Each 43 gram "thin" provides 100 calories, 1 gram of total fat, 170 mg of sodium (7% of the daily value), 5 grams of fiber (20% of the DV), 2 grams of sugars and 5 grams of protein. The ingredients include whole wheat flour, water, wheat bran, sugar, yeast, cellulose fiber, wheat gluten, polydextrose, salt, soybean and/ or calnola oil, preservatives (calcium propionate, sorbic acid), guar gum, monoglycerides, citric acid, stevia extract (a natural sweetener), soy lecithin.

I received samples of Arnold 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins for review, but this can be found in the supermarkets from $2.50 - $3.00 (for an 8 pack). I would definitely buy this in the future - love the whole wheat taste, and the versatility.
