Last week I came across Whole Grain Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Sliced Bread. I’m sure it’s not new but this was the first time it caught my eye. Reading the nutritional information I was pleasantly surprised to find 3 slices were only 110 calories, 1.5g of fat and 3g of fiber. That’s just 2 points!
immediately I imagined a club sandwich. I haven’t had a club sandwich in years! I totally forgot about them! But just think, 3 slices of bread, some turkey bacon, lean turkey, lettuce and tomato. You can really create some healthy alternatives with this bread.
So that’s what I did. Here’s what I chow-ed down for lunch. All that and only 4 points!! Here’s the breakdown with my point logic…
- Whole Grain Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Sliced Bread (2)
- Squirt of honey mustard (0)
- baby spinach leaves (0)
- tomato slices (0)
- 3 slices ultra thing lean ham (.5)
- 4 small slices turkey pepperoni (.5)
- 1 wedge laughing cow cheese (1)
- 1 sugar free sweet pickle (0)
- handful of carrots (0)
It was totally satisfying! There is just one thing slightly annoying about the bread and you can see it in the picture. Since it is so thin, when you toast it there tends to be curling. It’s not a big deal but I thought I should mention it.
I’ve also used this bread in the morning to have a slice of toast with low sugar jelly. It’s small but it sure makes a great side to my omelet!

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

Hi Roni,
I just wanted to share a find I had a few months ago allowing me to enjoy sandwiches too! It is bread mad eby Sara Lee and each slice is only 45 calories – can you believe that? It’s really good too. I’ve found it at Walmart and King Soopers, but maybe the website offers a product locator. Here’s the link http://www.breadrules.com/products/delightful.html
Hope you can find it,
Casey
P.S. The fat is really low and the fiber is about 2 grams per slice, making for 1 point for 2 slices. Yep, 1 point for two slices.
~Casey
That looks yummy! I love all the color…:)
Casey I buy Sara Lee 45 calorie bread too. Its pretty good.
The pepperidge farm sounds like a great alternative too.
I’ve given up buying bread because all the ones I find easily have HFCS in them and I’m not down for hunting around for specialty breads that are HFCS-free and low-cal. I miss bread, though :( we don’t have this very thin bread here, either, I’m in California and can’t find it. I’ll keep looking and check out the ingredients if I find it. thanks!
Aunt Millie’s has a bread called “Healthy Goodness Light” that has 35 calories per slice, 1 g fat and 3 g fiber. It doesn’t have HFCS; it does have sugar. It is also whole grain.
hi roni, i love your website. there are great recipes and awesome motivation on here. i have a suggestion for the bread. i have been using this thin version for a while. someone at my ww meeting brought it in for us to look at. i found that keeping it in the fridge and toasting on a lighter setting can help avoid the “fold” my kids call this the “taco bread” because frankly, it would curl up and look like one(sort of) thanks again for all of your inspiration. have a great day!
beautiful picture!!
I used zero use fat for my sandwich. I think that is one a great alternative.
I’ve been lurking here for a while, but I had to comment after reading the link to your omlet recipe and say that no, you don’t in fact have the only toddler who eats peppers like apples. My 19 month old likes sliced green peppers dipped in salsa. Of course, he also like sauteed spinach and kale chips, so I guess he’s just all around crazy!
I’ve been loving your blog, thanks so much for all the work you put into it. It’s a great resource, and my toddler is definitely enjoying the green lite bites with your toddler.
I’m not a Club sandwich kind of girl but that does look yummy! I’ll have to keep an eye out for that bread when I go shopping next. Not sure I can get the husband to eat it, he was just complaining about the Sara Lee DeLights. Great find and thanks for the tips and pic. That looks like a HUGE sandwich for only 4 points :).
Mmm…yumalicious! My mom used to make club sandwiches when I was a kid, usually around Christmas time. She’d use fresh Christmas ham and turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo. LOADED with calories and fat, but it was so yummy. I like your version better!!!
Roni, your pictures are amazing! They always make my mouth water!
