Plant Based Proteins--Sprouted Breads
Many people are hesitant to remove meat from their diets, because they think they will not get enough protein. However, you can get protein from sprouted grains and other plants, nuts, seeds and beans. Alvarado Street and Food for Life make great sprouted breads, such as tortillas (more like wraps), bagels and sandwich breads. You can find them at many high end grocery stores and health food stores. I buy mine at Whole Foods. They will be in the frozen food section.
These breads average about 10g protein per serving and are high in fiber. You won't find that in Wonder Bread. These breads do not have preservatives, so you need to keep them refrigerated or frozen, until you are ready to eat them.
These products taste great. You won't compromise taste for nutrition. You don't even have to toast them. I put hummus, bean spread, or Dijon mustard on them and load them with veggies, avocado and sunflower seeds. Then, I sprinkle a little home made dressing on for a little kick.
