Bread is a staple food in our diet but, unlike most healthy foods, bread is often stripped of essential nutrients and very high in calories, carbs, and sugar. Cutting back on bread is a good way to improve your health and lose weight, and luckily, there are some tasty vegetables and fruits that can easily replace it.

Eggplant

Roasted or grilled eggplant slices are a perfect alternative to bread that you can use for preparing healthy and delicious sandwiches.

Potatoes

Preparing roasted potatoes or creamy mashed potatoes as a side dish is a simple and healthy way to avoid eating bread. For an even healthier version, you can always use sweet instead of regular potatoes.

Tomatoes

Use veggies, cheese, and other tasty ingredients to stuff tomatoes and make this refreshing summer meal that you can enjoy without eating bread.

Zucchini

Thanks to its wonderful texture and rich flavor, grilled zucchini slices are great for making healthy veggie sandwiches and burgers.

Portobello Mushrooms

Use Portobello mushroom caps instead of burger buns to make delicious and juicy burgers and sandwiches loaded with healthy veggies.

Apples

Top apple slices with peanut butter, cinnamon and nuts to make a healthy and bread-free breakfast instead of your usual apple toast.
