Not sure what you haters are taking about. I love Ezekiel bread and have been eating it for years. Regular bread tastes odd to me. Must be toasted though.

Iā€™m gonna take a wild shot in the dark and guess this weird hippy bread costs a bunch too?

Nothing wrong with bread as long as itā€™s quality and youā€™re being smart about how much of it you eat.

I like Squirrely Bread or Trader Joes sprouted breads. Flavor/texture wise Ezekiel is no good.

Exactly why I eat it. I do prefer other sprouted grain breads of similar composition though. Eat the Ezekiel, itā€™s good for you.

Yeah, for sure real bread rocks- - harder to get in my neck of the woods though, unfortunately.

I go for the cinnamon raisin variant as well, since I usually only have it in the mornings with some honey to fuel a workout. But then I got to thinking whether one of the key features of Ezekiel (its low glycemic index, due to the low levels of refined/processed grains) perhaps makes it not a great choice for a pre-workout fuel hit. I think I recall chatter about an English muffin and honey fitting that bill better.

I toast the raisin bread straight out of the freezer. Works like a champ. I keep the regular stuff in the fridge since I go through it pretty quickly.

Thing about the raisin bread with honey is it gives you a good combo of both. Honey gives you quick energy, raisins help maintain blood pH during and after hard exercise and provide sugar as well, the bread provides long burn energy.

Iā€™ve switched to doing Ezekiel raisin toast prior to longer morning rides (2hrs or so) where I want something in my stomach. Otherwise, I just take a 100cal shot of gel and whatever Iā€™m drinking prior to my morning work now.

My daughter loves the raisin toast just plain toasted. Figure thatā€™s a good win.

I found a much better and cost effective alternative to Ezekiel Bread, Iā€™ve probably purchased thousands of dollars on the frozen bread until I saw a loaf for $7, no way.

Trader Joeā€™s and Aldis both have house branded sprouted grain breads, all are much more palatable than Ezekiel, cheaper, and comes like bread should, room temperature. They go for $3 - $4 per loaf, and while not quite as dense as said frozen loaf varieties, theyā€™re close enough for me. The ingredient list on the loaf of TJ version is inline with Ezekiel. My 6 year old eats it.

Thanks, I may have to try the TJ brand. TJs here sells Ezekiel for less than $4/loaf both plain and raisin, but the TJs brand is probably really good too.
