What is Carnivore Bread?
Carnivore bread is a low-carb, high-protein alternative to traditional grain-based bread. It is specifically designed for individuals following the carnivore diet, which excludes plant-based foods and focuses on animal-derived products. Unlike conventional bread, carnivore bread is made using ingredients like eggs, cream cheese, and animal fats, resulting in a nutrient-dense and satiating loaf.
The texture and taste of carnivore bread can vary based on the ingredients used, but it generally has a dense and moist consistency, similar to a pound cake. It can be sliced and used just like regular bread for sandwiches, toast, or as a side dish.
