German ‘Fitness Bread’
My absolute go-to snack of the month is Mestemacher Fitness Bread toasted with all natural crunchy peanut butter… (and here’s the key part) topped off with fresh apple slices. Conveniently pre-sliced and vacuum packaged, the all natural/whole grain bread packs a slew of healthy (and filling) ingredients including rye and oat kernels plus wheat germ. Wheat germ, for those of you that aren’t familiar with its benefits, is very high in protein and contains more potassium and iron than any other food source. Great for maintaining energy levels, it is also a source for vitamins A, B1 and B3. With the additional protein of the peanut butter plus locking in a serving of fruit with the apple, this snack is ideal for the mid morning to stave off lunchtime hunger or even in the afternoon to prevent that desire to stuff your face when you get home from work.
Mestemacher has managed to create a delicious tasting bread without forfeiting the health benefits in each slice: 120 calories/1g fat/24g carb/6g fiber/1g sugar/4g protein.
