How many ProPoints in....Bread?

One thing I don't really like to deprive myself of is bread..that along with crisps, is probably my biggest downfall.  To me it's the ultimate comfort food! But just because you are following the Weight Watcher's ProPoints plan doesn't mean you have to go without.  Weight Watcher's do their own bread at 1 or 2pp each depending on what you get but if you don't fancy that then there are some alternatives out there.

Warburtons Sandwich Thins

These sandwich thins from Warburtons are 3pp each and are a fantastic option. They are, as the name suggests thin pieces of bread and they come like a square bread bun but ready sliced in the middle so you don't have to faff about cutting them in half.  You can either use them like a normal bread bun, but I tend to split them in half and have open sandwiches, that way I feel like I'm having twice as a much.  They are also a nice alternative to pitta.

Warburtons Square Wraps

These square wraps from Warburtons are 4pp each.  They are great to use as a pizza base - you feel like you have had a good size pizza for the same propoints value as a large slice from pizza hut.  They are also good as an alternative to tortilla wraps for sandwiches or fajitas and the texture is lovely.

Nimble Bread

For those of you who like sliced bread, Nimble's sliced loaf is only 1pp per slice.  It comes in white, wholemeal and malted wholegrain and each has the same ProPoints value.  It's a filling and healthy food option in weight watchers food tracker. It's only down side to me is that it isn't a full size slice.

Kingsmill 50/50 crusts away

For those who are fans of full size sliced bread that has some substance to it, there is Kingsmill 50/50 Crusts Away bread which is only 1pp per slice or 2pp for two slices.  Pack it full of salad,wafer thin ham and reduced fat mayonnaise and you can still have a tasty sandwich without using up all your points.

Crusty Baguette

When i say baguette I don't mean one of those giant french sticks that you get from the supermarket, I mean a standard size sandwich baguette which on average seems to be about 8pp.  If you are going out to a bar or restaurant they often serve sandwiches in baguettes so it's helpful to know how many points are in the bread.
