Though breaking bread brings friends together, it tears bread apart. Savor disassembling loaves with today's Groupon: for $7, you get two loaves of Smart Carb #1, #2, or #3 bread at Julian Bakery in La Jolla (a $14 value).

The dough artists at Julian Bakery whip organic eggs and grains into loaves of low-carb bread accented with handpicked chicory root and flaxseed. Before grinding it into flour, bakers sprout each organic grain to increase nutrient content and let it briefly taste the warmth of the sun. Each Smart Carb slice holds up to 14 grams of protein and one, two, or three net carbs indicated by the appended number. Smart Carb #2 puts a cinnamon-raisin twist on the original, great for making a healthy french toast, and Smart Carb #3 is free of gluten, sugars, yeasts, and the ability to giggle when poked.
