BREAKFAST | SNACK | SWEET

GO BANANAS LOAF

A deliciously moist cake-like bread that’s so healthy it’s good any time of day! This is an extra special recipe as it is free from the most common inflammatory ingredients: sugar, wheat and dairy, plus it’s brilliantly balanced in carbs, protein and fats. Over-ripe bananas with a few dark spots are the ideal choice for baking as they make a sweeter, tastier loaf.

Enjoy simply sliced or spread with your favourite nut butter or chocolate spread for an easy ready-made breakfast or pick-me-up snack.
