Lewis Brothers Bakeries, a family-owned bakery with roots dating back to 1925, has long been recognized for its commitment to quality, innovation, and meeting the evolving needs of its consumers. Building on nearly a century of baking expertise, the company continues to innovate with the introduction of Better Way Protein Bread, the latest addition to its “Better Way” portfolio under the Lewis Bake Shop brand. This launch underscores Lewis Bakeries’ dedication to delivering both delicious taste and meaningful nutrition, reflecting the brand’s heritage while addressing modern consumer preferences.

A Modern Take on a Century-Old Tradition
The Lewis Bake Shop brand has built its reputation on combining craftsmanship with innovation, and the Better Way line exemplifies this philosophy. With the launch of Better Way Protein Bread, the bakery aims to provide a product that satisfies the demand for high-protein, low-carb options without sacrificing flavor or texture. Available at major grocery retailers and through LewisBakeShop.com, the bread represents a thoughtful response to today’s consumer trends, including plant-based nutrition, low sugar intake, and fiber-rich foods.
Each slice of Better Way Protein Bread offers a nutrient profile designed to support a balanced diet, featuring:
- 11g of plant-based protein per slice – helping to meet daily protein needs
- 1g net carb per slice – calculated as 11g total carbs minus 9g dietary fiber and 1g allulose
- 9g dietary fiber per slice – promoting digestive health
- 0g sugar per slice – suitable for sugar-conscious diets
- High Vitamin D content – supporting bone health and immune function
- No seed oil ingredients – aligning with clean-label preferences
- 60 calories per slice – making it easy to incorporate into calorie-conscious meal plans
According to Short, the Better Way line, which also includes popular Keto Breads and Buns, is part of Lewis Bakeries’ ongoing commitment to baking foods that consumers can feel confident about. “For a hundred years, we’ve focused on baking bread that people are proud to bring into their homes,” he said. “Better Way Protein Bread carries forward that same tradition of care and quality, while meeting the evolving lifestyles and dietary goals of today’s consumers.”
Meeting Consumer Demand for Better-for-You Options
Health-conscious eating habits have become increasingly important for consumers, and bakery products are no exception. With a growing interest in protein-enriched foods, low-carb alternatives, and nutrient-dense options, Lewis Bakeries’ Better Way Protein Bread responds directly to this trend. By providing a satisfying, high-protein bread that remains true to the taste and texture of traditional bakery products, the brand ensures that consumers don’t have to compromise on either nutrition or enjoyment.
Moreover, the product’s clean-label ingredients and plant-based protein content make it appealing to a broad spectrum of consumers, from those following keto and low-carb diets to individuals seeking sustainable and plant-forward options. Lewis Bake Shop’s dedication to quality ingredients and meticulous baking practices reinforces the company’s position as a leader in better-for-you baked goods.
