About Bread with almond butter

Bread with almond butter is a simple, nutritious snack or meal originating from Western cuisine that combines whole grains and nut butter. The bread, serving as a carbohydrate base, can be either whole grain, sourdough, or gluten-free, depending on dietary preferences. Almond butter, derived from ground almonds, provides healthy fats, protein, and various micronutrients. A single slice of whole-grain bread with one tablespoon of almond butter typically contains approximately 160-200 calories, 5-7 grams of protein, and 3-5 grams of fiber, along with key vitamins such as vitamin E and magnesium. This combination offers a balanced mix of macronutrients and is a source of sustained energy suitable for breakfast, snacks, or pre/post-workout meals.
