I didn't see any in my general reading (reviews for any of the "better" products)
BUT!
I got my order in this past friday...
Better French (round) loaf ($5.99)
Serv. Size 1 slice
Total Carb 6g
Fiber 1.5g
It looked more like a wheat than a traditional french loaf. Taste was wonderful. Not spongy like some of the low carb breads. I buttered and sprinkled on some garlic -- warmed it in the oven. Very good. The loaf was kinda small though and I really would have rather had an un-sliced loaf since this was a "round". Carb count is a little higher than some other low carb breads, but taste & texture show the difference!
Better Bagels (Plain) $5.99 6-bagels
Serv. Size 1/2 bagel
Total Carb 9.8g
Fiber 2.35g
These really were more like "toast" than anything else. No chewyness. I was disappointed really after having the french bread. I expected more out of these. There serving is small for that many carbs I thought.
They were not bad -- But for the price and carb count per serving... These bagels are basically 15 carbs (fiber removed) per whole bagel. Lenders frozen bagels are only 20-22 carbs per whole bagel or something like that.
On Lenders bagels: I don't have the exact numbers on lenders, but they seemed really close on the frozen bagged kind. The others of the Lenders line were higher though (and larger).
Be sure to check between types/flavors of the same maker because they make them in different sizes by weight per serving!
I have a few others to try still (Ready to eat pizza crusts, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, muffins)
Over all... from the sizes of the portions - I was disappointed. I think they were a little too expensive for the loaf size. But the taste/texture on their breads were good. So I have mixed feelings!
