In an effort to be more healthy I thought I would try to find a healty alternative to pita bread and tortillas. In the deli section of my local grocery store there was a product called flat bread. I have never been much of a wrap person. I would not typically order a wrap at a restraunt or pick one up at the local grocery store. However, I love Gyros and I have become quite attached to the Pita Pit that is several blocks up the street from where I work. So in an attempt to shave some calories off of a pita and add some fiber to my diet I picked up a package of Flatout.
In the package Flatout looks good. It is a soft flatbread that looks like it would make excellent wraps. The package shows nice pictures of healty looking wraps and the products is supported by Oprah so it must be golden right? WRONG!!!!
These flatbreads have got to be some of the worst, if not the all time worst, bread I have ever eaten. As I ate my flatbread at work today it was all I could to choke down the last bite. The only reason I finished the sandwich was beause it was the only food I had taken with me that day and I did not want to let all the other sandwich fixen's go to waste.
I have tried other health food such as Bally Nutrition Bars, Slim Fast Shakes and Wasa crakers and they have been ok. Not the most flavorful and certianly not some thing I would crave, but the Flatout flatbread is outright disgusting. So if you are in the deli section and want to try an alternative to plain old bread try the Pita bread or a tortilla. Whatever you do just stay away from flat out.

Maybe they make the health food taste bad so that you don't eat tons of it.
