The 10 Best Vegan Bread Brands To Buy At The Grocery Store - Women's Health

adaapablogsi.blogspot.com

I think we can all agree that one of the most satisfying aspects of plant-based or vegan eating compared to some other popular diets out there is the fact that you get to keep bread. Avocado toast? BBQ seitan sandwich? Sign me way, way up.

Thing is, though you wouldn't ~think~ there'd be animal products in a loaf of bread. But, then again, you didn't think the stuff that made candy coatings shiny was made from bugs, now, did ya?

In its most basic form, bread consists of just flour, water, salt, and yeast, according to Shanthi Appelö, RD, a health and wellness spokesperson for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Totally vegan. However, more of the usual bread aisle options than you'd think fail the vegan test. In fact, she estimates up to two-thirds (and sometimes more!) of the breads available in major supermarkets contain animal-based ingredients.

“Ingredients such as eggs, butter, milk, whey and gelatin are sometimes added to change the flavor and texture of bread,” Appelö says. Plus, many breads contain added fats (listed as monoglycerides and diglycerides) to boost flavor and moisture. While these often come from vegan-friendly soybean oil, they can just as easily come from animals. “Because there’s no way to tell the source on an ingredient list, some vegans feel more comfortable avoiding monoglycerides and diglycerides altogether,” explains Appelö.

And just in case you're curious about the whole yeast thing? It's totally vegan. Yeast is a fungi, meaning it's technically not plant- or animal-based, Appelö says. Good thing, too, because bread without yeast can be pretty blah.

Whether you're looking for the perfect grainy slice of toast or seedy sandwich, nutritionists love the following vegan bread brands for all of their carby kitchen endeavors.

1 One Degree Organic Foods

Veganic Lentil Grain Bread amazon.com

One Degree Organics uses only plant-based fertilizers to sustainably grow their crops. Another perk? “Not only are One Degree Organics’ breads certified organic and vegan, but they’re also sprouted and made without refined sugar,” says nutritionist Mia Syn, R.D.N., founder of Nutrition by Mia. “Sprouting makes nutrients more bioavailable, meaning they’re easier for our body to absorb and utilize.”

Try the Lentil Grain Bread, Ancient Whole Wheat Bread, or the Flax and Spelt Bread.

2 Mighty Manna Bread

Organic Sprouted Banana Walnut Hemp Bread mannaorganicbakery.com

$1.00

“I love the sheer variety of Manna, including the banana walnut, carrot raisin, cinnamon date, multigrain, rye, and more," says nutritionist Lorraine Chu, RDN. Like One Degree Organics, Manna's breads are also sprouted for easier digestion.

If the Banana Walnut Hemp isn't your thing, try the Organic Sprouted Fig Fennel Flax  Bread or the Organic Sprouted Cinnamon Date Bread.

3 Angelic Bakehouse

Take-and-Bake 7 Sprouted Whole-Grain Demi Baguettes amazon.com

$17.94

Whether you’re in the mood for dinner rolls, wraps, or baguettes, Angelic Bakehouse serves up vegans' carb-filled dreams. “Angelic Bakehouse goods are available in a variety of fun flavors and are low in sugar and kosher certified," says Appelö. "They also have low- and no-sodium options, making the brand a great choice for those interested in heart-healthy breads.”  

These baguettes definitely come in clutch, as do the Spring Kale & Spinach Garden Wraps.

4 Food For Life Ezekial 4:9 Bread

Flourless Flax Sprouted Grain Bread amazon.com

$31.34

If you want to try every possible variety of sprouted bread under the sun, Ezekial Bread is for you. Appelö loves that the brand is easy to find and offers a balanced, fiber-filled source of carbs.

The Flourless Flax Sprouted Grain Bread is a popular option, but the original Sprouted 100% Whole Grain Bread is a classic favorite, too. 

5 Nature's Own

$17.49

6 Dave’s Killer Bread

Organic 21 Whole Grains and Seeds Bread amazon.com

$11.25

The brand's commitment to hiring often-overlooked candidates (like those with criminal records), and their non-GMO and certified organic loaves will make you feel good. And, yes, plenty of their breads are vegan-approved.

“Dave’s Killer Bread is a nutritious choice since it’s made with 100-percent whole grains, making it naturally higher in plant protein and fiber,” says Syn. 

The 21 Whole Grains and Seeds bread is a fan favorite, but their Raisin' The Roof! is another delicious vegan pick.

7 Rudi's Organic Bakery

Double Fiber Bread amazon.com

Want a little extra protein and fiber from your loaf? Krista Linares, RDN, founder and owner of Nutrition con Sabor recommends Rudi's. 

“They have some really g0od options with nuts and seeds for an extra bit of protein,” she says. The 7 Grain with Flax and Nut & Oat are two vegan options that provide a solid amount of protein (four grams per slice, compared to the usual gram or two), suggests Linares.

8 Udi's Gluten-Free

Millet-Chia Ancient Grain Bread amazon.com

$86.83

If you're vegan and gluten-free, Udi's has you covered. “Udi’s makes gluten-free bread that’s meant to mimic the taste and texture of traditional bread,” says Syn. “They offer unique varieties to accommodate different consumer preferences including Cinnamon Raisin, SSoft White, and Hearty 7 Seeds and Grains.” 

In addition to the Millet-Chia Ancient Grain Bread, the Omega Flax & Fiber Bread is another great vegan option.

9 Schär Gluten Free

Artisan Baker Multigrain Bread amazon.com

$41.09

Schär is a one-stop-shop for all things gluten-free. “They offer a large array of gluten-free products including breads, pastas, and crackers to accommodate those with celiac disease, gluten-intolerance, or a sensitivity to gluten,” Syn says.

They've got vegans in mind, too, though. Both the Artisan Baker Multigrain Bread and the Multigrain Ciabatta Rolls are completely vegan.

10 Unbun

100% Plant-Based Keto Buns amazon.com

Looking for an ingredient list that works for pretty much every eating style on the planet? Meet Unbun, which makes grain-free, keto-friendly bread products made with the likes of chia, flax, and pumpkin seeds. 

“Unbun has a wide variety of bread options including tortillas, baguettes, and pizza crusts made with healthy, quality ingredients that also appeal to gluten-free vegans,” says Appelö. 

In addition to the classic Unbuns, try the Untortillas or Uncrust.
