What am I Going to Eat Instead of Bread?

Also referred to as oopsie bread, this is the ideal replacement base for your favorite sandwich or lean burger bun. There are no limits to the variations you can make with this! While you may find various recipes for cloud bread, below is a simple take.

Whether you want a sub-style sandwich created by cutting the eggplant lengthwise or circular style, eggplant slices provide a much lower calorie and carbohydrate substitution for bread. Unless you like the thicker texture of eggplant, slice thinly.

Season the eggplant slices to your liking, and you can grill or bake them. A nutrient-dense food, eggplants also provide fiber and are a source of several nutrients, including manganese.

They also aid in stabilizing blood sugar, which is critical for losing weight. 

These are especially great during barbecue season. Portobello slices also offer a more substantial texture than other bread alternatives. They also provide a healthy source of various forms of vitamin B.

A healthy twist on an Italian favorite, replacing zucchini strips for the pasta provides a much lower calorie, lower fat option than the traditional lasagna.

Zucchini is an excellent source of vitamin A, high in antioxidant levels, and may also contribute to reducing blood sugar levels. If you are using store-bought tomato sauce, read the nutrition facts! Many sauces are loaded with added sugars. 

Taco Tuesday is back! Build your own taco with any lean protein, veggies, and cheese using butter lettuce cups you can find in the grocery store.
