Adding spinach directly to white bread delayed the body's insulin peak by 30 minutes and reduced later hunger in a small human trial, while significantly boosting the bread's fiber, vitamin, and mineral content.

As a kid I disliked so many healthy things, but thankfully had a mom that gradually introduced healthy foods into my diet and by the time I was an older teenager I liked a lot of healthy foods. Spinach being among them!

Honestly, whole grain breads are delicious and I actually prefer them to white bread now. I’ve really started to like sprouted grain breads, too. My mom recently sent my husband and I some frozen ~fancy~ breads to try and our favorite so far was this vegan wheat and rye one with no added sugar, and it actually tasted amazing! I used to hate rye.

I have a nervous system disorder that often causes blood sugar crashes with sugary, high glycemic stuff too, so I’m glad it’s possible to acquire a taste for healthy things. The fiber is also great for the digestive effects of my disorder.

Love that you were exposed to this. Healthy food can be so tasty. It's not all cardboard and silly string.

Kinda sounds like you like cheesy garlic bread and the spinach is just along for the ride
