2. Trader Joe's Gluten-Free Whole Grain Bread
Make a hot or cold sandwich, French toast, bread crumbs, you name it. That's what TJ's says you should be doing with its new whole grain bread, made with brown rice flour, whole grain teff, whole grain amaranth, and whole grain sorghum. And the stuff is so good, we're inclined to agree. It really does go with everything.
Nutrition (per slice): 60 calories, 1 g protein, 1 g fiber, 1.5 g sugar, 1 g fat, 12 g carbs

5. The Julian Bakery Paleo Bread
Thanks to plenty of protein and fiber from almond and/or coconut flours, Julian Bakery's newest loaves are heftier and more filling than most of the starch-based alternatives out there. And though the bread is made specifically for Paleo eaters, don't worry: It's made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
Nutrition (per slice of almond bread): 60 calories, 7 g protein, 5 g fiber, 1 g sugar, 3 g fat, 6 g carbs
Taste and texture: Soft, slightly nutty, and best when toasted
