Ezekiel bread has very little salt, and this is why it tastes bland. There is also a ā€˜low sodiumā€™ version that actually has no salt at all! Salted butter definitely improves things, but I wish it was made with enough salt to begin with.

I also dont like the ezekial bread but found that the same company made sprouted grain english muffins which were pretty good. Now I eat theme every morning for breakfast toasted with peanut butter and strawberries, and some days honey. Just keep experimenting.

I just put some peanut butter and honey on my ezekiel bread, and I also cut off the crust lol

Although skeptical, I tried some Ezekiel bread. Tastes great to me. I really like it but YMMV. This Ezekiel guy must have been a sharp dude.

I mentioned this in another thread, but Iā€™ve taken to pre morning ride snacks of one slice of Ezekiel raisin toast with honey for every 30 min of ride time for interval rides. I donā€™t do it prior to Carter, etc. Nate suggested this on the podcast, and I love it.

Which one did you try? The original is what I tried and Iā€™ve seen a strong correlation between people liking it and people who tried the raisin variety.

Iā€™ve been eating 2 slices of the cinnamon raisin for breakfast or before an afternoon workout with either honey or tart cherry spreadā€¦love it. My wife has even been eating it for breakfast too.

Realize this is an old thread, but actually trying to add some healthy breads back into my diet for good carbs - I have bought the Alvarado Street bakery Sprouted wheat a lot and while not some amazing bread, fits the bill in terms of no added sugars, whole grains etcā€¦ and I havenā€™t tried Ezekiel myself, but the first review on Amazon is that itā€™s the better tasting version for what itā€™s worth.

I do peanut butter on the cinnamon raisin Ezekiel and I use the Ezekiel cereal in my Greek yogurt. But I definitely couldnā€™t do them by themselves.

Taste of bread depends a lot on the baking process, this is why bread from a bakery nearly always tastes better. It is hard to get the temperature right in a domestic oven.

I like Ezekial bread. First, it goes straight into the fridge because I canā€™t deal with frozen bread in the morning. Second, I always toast it lightly (itā€™s not good over toasted) and then put butter, jam, or peanut butter on it.

To me, Ezekial is just a vehicle for 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and some healthy low glycemic carbs which is good for cycling.

10 years ago I would have thought it was horrible. Now, that I eat a very healthy diet my palate no longer expects sweetness in soft fluffy bread. It took me a while to get to the point where I didnā€™t need sugar on my oatmeal.

Why, oh why, do Americans insist on adding cinnamon everywhere? Itā€™s like a virus that spreads to anything that could be eaten at breakfast.

I burn 5000+ calories a week cycling. Iā€™m not going to eat some weird, gross, expensive bread.

Iā€™m surprised to see so many negative comments regarding ezekiel bread. It tastes like regular bread to me, and even my two toddlers (4 yo and 2 yo) like eating it.

Edit: I toast the bread. I have never tried it untoasted.

Iā€™m another person who considers it a delivery mechanism. DKB or Ezekiel bread get PB and honey. Cereal gets vanilla or chocolate almond milk or a banana/berries.

Do some people not realize you can toast frozen bread? Weird. Anyway, I havenā€™t tried Ezekiel bread yet, but recently started with a Canadian company (which may also be in some US locations, like Costco) thatā€™s doing the sprouted organic whole wheat thing as well and Iā€™ve found it quite good, especially toasted (previously thawed or frozenā€¦) with some PB&J on it. Didnā€™t like it as much untoasted in a sandwich though.

Thatā€™s how we do bagels at home. Go to the real bagel places (that boil + wood-oven bake them), slice, freeze. Take out, toast, done.

Had the Silver Hiils bread, itā€™s ok, but nothing worth calling home. I get multigrain from the local bakery, and thatā€™s real bread. Meaning it has a crust that makes a ā€œcrustā€ sound.
