Celebrating the Success of Homemade Protein Bread


A New Breakfast Favorite

My experiment with baking protein bread turned out to be an unexpected delight, not just for me but for my family as well. The introduction of this hearty alternative at breakfast received enthusiastic approval from both my mum and son and they both agreed it was very similar to sourdough that I had made before in terms of the chew. They both topped their toasted their slices with peanut butter and honey, a combination that proved to be both delicious and remarkably satisfying. The feedback was unanimous: the protein bread kept them feeling full much longer compared to our usual sprouted toast options. This observation underscores the nutritional value and satiety benefits of incorporating protein-rich options into our meals.

A Lunchtime Revelation

For my own midday meal, I ventured to create a more elaborate dish using the protein bread—I crafted a grilled cheese sandwich with added pesto, tomato, and spinach. This combination not only elevated the grilled cheese to a new level of flavor but also contributed an array of nutrients, making the meal both balanced and indulgent. The sandwich was hearty, satisfying, and immensely flavorful, showcasing the versatility of the protein bread as a base for both simple and complex toppings.

Day 27: Braving the Cold and Envisioning the Future

A Chilly Start to the Day Today's active recovery day took us back to the familiar yet frosty surroundings of the lake, with temperatures dipping to -15°C. Despite bundling up, the biting wind made our 20-minute walk more challenging than usual. The vast openness of the lake's paths and parks, usually a source of tranquility, today amplified the cold. To compensate for the lack of zone minutes on my Fibtbit, I added a 25-minute rowing session on my Bowflex Revolution in the afternoon, following a snow shoveling session under the watchful eye of my dog. Our day concluded with another walk after dinner, maintaining our routine despite the cold. Active recovery decoded and why you need it.
