Oroweat Health-full® Bread Review

One of the best parts of being a BzzAgent is being introduced to all sorts of new products. For this campaign I was asked to try a free loaf of any kind of Oroweat Health-full^® bread that my family might like and then share my thoughts on it. (Thanks, Oroweat!) Out of the three options available (flax & fiber, nutty grain, and 10 grain) we decided that the 10 grain would be the best option for our family. And we were not disappointed! Not only is this bread 80 calories a slice (I know, right?) it is super soft and tastes SO good. When eating healthy bread I normally expect it to have a certain “healthy” taste. You know the taste I’m referring to. This bread is so NOT that way. It tastes healthy but in a delicious way, if that makes sense. We just love it!

My almost 2-year-old son really loves this bread too. I make him half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with it then cut it into squares. It’s amazing how soft this bread is, and I can tell he likes the softness too. It’s tempting not to steal a bite from him!

My husband and I ventured over to the Oroweat website and looked up the list of sandwich recipes for this delicious bread. What looked like the perfect sandwich was listed there so I decided to try it. And it’s my new favorite! And of course I was too excited to eat it so I forgot to take a picture of it. Gah! Oh well. Here it is! (Click here for more recipe ideas!)

He made a roast beef sandwich and it was delish. Here’s what he put on it:

• swiss cheese
• Romaine lettuce
• tomatoes
• mayo
• deli roast beef

As you can see, we had a good dinner that night.

I highly recommend this bread! It’s decently priced but would be well worth spending a little extra to get such a good bread. It’s healthy and oh so good! Give it a try!
