Nutrition counselor Melissa Spiesman suggested that Girlawhirl keep a loaf of Yoga Bread from The Baker® on hand for just those kind of mornings. The bread is loaded with whole grains that contain plenty of fiber and all the right nutrients to provide sustainable energy to keep her going until lunchtime. And the combination of seeds – sunflower, pumpkin and flax to name a few – and dried cranberries create the perfect mix of crunch, sweetness and nutrients. At 70 calories a slice, three grams of protein and only 12 grams of carbohydrates, Yoga Bread is a perfect choice no matter what nutrition program she is following.

Girlawhirl enjoys Yoga Bread straight from the bag or follows Melissa's suggestion and tops it with her favorite fruit spread and/or nut butter. And by keeping 2-slice portions ready to go in her fridge she is prepared to start her day with the best intentions of good health and nutrition.

Girlawhirl finds Yoga Bread in her local grocery and health food stores.
