Arnold Select sandwich thins — 

If you love bread like I do, but hate all the calories and fat that usually goes with it, then you will LOVE this new product from Arnold.  Arnold Select Sandwich Thins are the best thing to happen to bread in a very long time! 

For awhile, Arnold Select Sandwich Thins were very difficult for me to find.  However, I have started to see them stocked in the grocery stores, which is good news for me because now I don't have to stock-pile them in my freezer!  You can find these in the regular bread section.  When you see them in the package, you may mistake them for very thin hamburger buns.  In fact, they are packaged in a very similar way.  You'll only receive eight sandwich thins in a pack, but they are absolutely delicious!

The best way to describe the taste of Arnold Select Sandwich Thins, is that they remind me of a very thin pita.  They are sliced in half so you will receive a top piece and a bottom piece.  They taste great with sandwich meat, chicken salad, tuna, and I even eat them with Caesar salad on them.  They taste great plain and toasted.

Here are the nutritional facts for Arnold Select Sandwich Thins:

  • Serving Size - 1 roll (includes a top and bottom)
  • Calories - 100

  • Carbohydrates - 21g
  • Dietary Fiber - 5g
  • Sugars - 2g
  • Protein - 5g

Before I found this product, I was eating Merita Light Wheat Bread for my sandwich bread, but I never felt full or satisfied after eating it.  What I really like about the Arnold Select Sandwich Thins is that they taste like bread!  They have a thick texture and leave you feeling full.  And because they are made with whole wheat, they are healthy too! 

I've seen that this product is also available in "Multi-grain", but I have not yet tried it.  The nutritional facts seem comparable, so I will be trying it in the near future.

The one bad thing about this product is price.  They are expensive.  For a package of eight sandwich thins, it will cost between $ 2.50 - $ 3.00.  Yeah, I know....it's a ridiculous price.  BUT, because this is a new product, you can find it on sale a lot of the time.  I just buy several packages of them when I find a good price and freeze them.  They freeze well and come out tasting fresh.

Bottom Line - Watching what you eat can get boring.  Try the Arnold Select Sandwich Thins, and they will wake up your everyday sandwich or turkey burger and give it a new and exciting taste.  They may be expensive, but to me they are worth it.

I got started buying Arnold Select in the whole grain and they are the best. I don't even buy bread any more. I buy the twin pack at a Sam's Club and they are cheaper. Great product....Great taste
