Helga's Lower Calorie White Bread
2 reviews
Very Light And Great Tasting – Helgas lower calorie white is an absolutely great tasting white bread, low in calories and high in taste. Very light so it won't weigh you down, and if your watching your diet intake of calories, it has only 65 calories per slice. This is a great bread for toast in the morning and for making a sandwich or two for lunch. I was very happy with it and I can highly recommend it.
Purchased in at Woolworths for $4.90.
When lower calorie means empty air – Helga's has a reputation for great bread, and we often buy this brand because of it's quality, texture and taste. This can't be claimed by "lower calorie white." It's not terrible tasting, but it's not what you'd normally expect. Texture is it's great downfall. It feels just wrong, like eating wafers. Losing the calories also loses structure and this bread falls apart easily, especially toasted, making it difficult to add spread. Looking at the weight at 450g, only 60% of a normal Helga's loaf, it's pretty obvious the way that the calories have been removed is by adding a lot of air. Fiscally, I don't like paying the same price for effectively 40% empty air. My wife thought this might be a good, healthy choice but we're too old to not enjoy real bread.
