f there’s anything we have learned from this year, it’s finding the “life hacks” to make things a little easier. But that’s often hard to do when you’re also trying to meet all of your nutritional needs.
Lucky for the vegan and health-concious community at large, more brands are stepping up to help the modern consumer with time-management with no compromise on taste or nutrition. Here are our Top Picks to wrap up 2020 with every-day staples that have been fueling us to not just survive, but thrive this year.
DAILY KNEADS Statistics show that 192.34 million Americans consumed whole wheat/multigrain bread in 2019. As a basic food worldwide, bread provides energy for daily living, as carbohydrates are an essential parts of our diet to provide us with energy. But as we all know, one cannot live on bread alone, as much as we may want to sometimes! With any vegan diet, vegetables, or complex carbohydrates are imperative for a robust, nutritionally-dense diet. The founders of Daily Kneads grew up hearing “Eat your vegetables”, yet with bread ever-present. As Michael and Bill Itskovich grew up and had their own kids, the idea of a “life hack” of having your veggies and eating bread too sunk in. They brought the vegetable bread idea to life with three objectives: 1. Create great tasting bread. 2. Make an All-Natural product, using whole ingredients, no artificial flavors, and colors. 3. Infuse a serving of vegetables in a serving of bread. Their breads, bagels, and wraps come in a variety of colorful, vegetable-heavy flavors like Carrot Pumpkin, Spinach Leek, Cauliflower, Sweet Beet, and Roasted Red Pepper. Today, Daily Kneads is selling their variety of breads and will shortly launch an Oatmeal Vegetable cookie line. You could say it’s become a “daily habit” for us to create fun and easy meals with Daily Kneads at breakfast, lunch, and dinner! As Daily Kneads’ motto reads, “Bread is the essence of life. Eating good bread daily satisfies. Eating Daily Kneads Bread gratifies”. dailykneadsbread.com
