Putting Together a Well-Balanced Meal |
It is on that note, that I'd like to talk about Dempster's Whole Grains Bread and Dempster's 100% Whole Grains Whole Wheat bread. As a family of 7, with 5 kids aged 2- to 7-years old, we are big consumers of Dempster's bread. We often enjoy it as part of our morning routine, and sandwiches are staples in my kids' lunch bags. We go through about one loaf of bread per day!
If you flip over the Dempster's bread and have a read of its nutritional value, you will notice that it offers some excellent nutrition. It is a great source of selenium--essential for the immune system (60% daily requirement), manganese--helps metabolize carbs and fats (50%), magnesium--helps promote strong bones & promote normal blood pressure (20%), vitamin B1--helps release energy from carbs (15%), folate--helps prevent neural tube defects in the early stages of pregnancy (15%), and niacin--helps the digestive system (8% daily value).

The bread is 90 calories per slice and is definitely filling, which is important to me when I'm feeding the kids and I. It is a reality that if my kids are not full, they will keep going back to the refrigerator for food. (The same can be for their mother.) Two medium-sized apples are also 90 calories like one slice of Dempster's bread, and also contain the same amount of calcium and iron as a slice of Dempster's bread!
I checked out the Dempster's website for ways to shake up and add more nutrition to our daily sandwiches. I found this nice recipe for Crunchy Tuna and Radish Salad Sandwich. It was really easy to make, and I had never thought to use radishes in a sandwich--or any other dish, for that matter. It was a very healthy meal: Dempster's 100% Whole Grains Whole Wheat bread, tuna fish, radishes, celery and lettuce. I added mangoes, strawberries, grapes and blueberries on the side for added nutrition. Take a look of my creation, below, and check out the recipe.
Ingredients1 (170 g) Can low sodium tuna, drained
½ cup (125 mL) Diced radish
1 Stalk celery, diced
¼ cup (60 mL) Plain yogurt
1 tbsp (15 mL) Lemon juice
1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon
Dash hot sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL) Light mayonnaise
Pepper to taste
Shredded lettuce
2 Slices Dempster’s® WholeGrains™ Flax Bread, toasted
Directions
MIX together tuna, radish, celery, yogurt, lemon juice, mustard and mayonnaise. Season with pepper.
DIVIDE lettuce between toasted bread slices and top with tuna mixture.
SERVE as an open faced sandwich.
