Last month (April), I was gluten free. Yup, zero gluten. Gluten is in most grains, like wheat, rye, and barley. So no bread for me...or anything else with gluten, which is pretty hard, because most things contain gluten. Bread of course, but somethings you would never imagine, like soap or shampoo. But you don't have to worry about those unless you have a strict no gluten diet or allergy, or if you eat soap regularly...
In my month of being no gluten, there are a few things that you can substitute for bread, that are filling and easy to spread peanut butter and jelly on:
Tortillas- Your best friend when you are gluten free. Make sure you buy the CORN ones, because others might contain wheat. Tortilla's are the closest you will get to bread, besides gluten free bread.
Rice- This is not exactly like bread, but filling and tasty. Try rice, spinach, and cooked chicken in a bowl with maybe a little fish sauce.
Gluten Free Bread- This is like bread but...if store-bought not the best. Gluten free bread made from scratch is the best tasting. If you want to make this, click here to get an Ask.com recipe.
Fruit- This may be surprising, but fruit saved me that whole month. When I was used to a sandwich for lunch everyday, I was scared when I stopped eating gluten. What was I going to eat for lunch? Fruit. It's just as filling , and tastes great.
So if you are going gluten free, make your toast with a tortilla, or gluten free bread. Have a bowl of rice instead of a sandwich. Eat a banana instead of a doughnut!
