Review of 'Silver Hills' Steady Eddie (the Low GI Choice)

Silver Hills -- Steady Eddie (the Low GI Choice) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: this bread has a very light salted taste and a warm flavour that's slightly buttery (awesome!). It's sweetened with apples but you don't get a sweet taste at all. The bread is very, very light and soft. After toasting, it gets a crisp crust but maintains a tenderness. The neutral flavour makes for great versatility (e.g. sweet or savoury sandwiches). The ingredients are organic, kept to a minimum, fresh, and wholesome, which is characteristic of this brand. I'm a huge fan of the nutritional profile -- just one slice provides you with 4g of fibre and 7g of protein! If you like to keep it simple with your bread, this one's for you. There are no seeds, spices, or additional flavours -- it's your traditional bread.

Well, no one can rag on these ingredients. It's all certified organic and GMO-free! It may seem that 100 calories for only 1 slice is a little on the high side, however keep in mind that these slices are bigger than your typical breads. Even if it weren't quite as big, the nutritional content makes that 100 calories well worth it. There are no empty calories here, with 4g of fiber and 7g of protein! So two slices would yield 8g of fiber and 14g of protein...so good!

It's also super low in fat and has zero cholesterol, so it's simply guilt-free. Also keep in mind how fantastic the 'Silver Hills' brand is and how great it is to support them.
