If you don't know about Udi's, they are a gluten free company from Colorado that began as a franchise known as Udi's Bakery Cafe in 1994. In 2008 they made their first loaf of gluten free bread to sell in their bakery cafes and the rest is history! People could not get enough of their bread and since then they are now the number one gluten free brand in the United States. Originally I was going to review all four products they sent me in one post but I was blown away by their Millet-Chia bread that I had to put it in a post all on it's own.
I was instantly attracted to this bread when I saw the word chia on the packaging, yes the same chia seeds in the ch-ch-ch-chia pet. If you haven't gotten into the chia craze, chia seeds are rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids and are also a good source of fiber. The first thing I looked at was the ingredients list and even though there are a few questionable ingredients, overall it's decent. Gluten free breads need certain ingredients in it in order for it not to crumble and have more stability in the product so you won't be getting a gluten free bread with a short ingredient list unless you make it yourself.
As you can see in the pictures there is a lot of millet in the bread and if you look closely you can also see the chia seeds. I tried this bread by itself and all I can say is amazing. Simply amazing. You might be thinking you're just saying that because you got it for free or they told you to say that. NO! This bread is honestly the best bread I have ever tasted. I am a bread lover (that sounds awkward) and before going gluten free I ate a ton of bread and am very picky about what I like. Unless someone told you this bread is gluten free you wouldn't know. It has the perfect texture and flavor to it, if I wasn't on a gluten free diet I would keep buying this bread anyways. It also tastes great untoasted which is a huge positive since many gluten free breads need to be toasted in order to taste good. The only downside to this bread is the size, this is the perfect portion for me and anyone else who eats smaller portions but some people may complain that the slices are too small and would need another slice or maybe two to fill them up. Overall Udi's Gluten Free Millet Chia Bread gets two thumbs up from me and I highly recommend you go out and buy it! If you can't find it in stores you can also order it from their website http://udisglutenfree.com/ for $5.50. A big thank you to Udi's for sending me this bread to review! My other Udi's reviews will be posted soon as well.
