HIGH PROTEIN BANANA BREAD
What's great about it
This banana bread is high in protein, gluten-free and sugar-free, that’s perfect to support lean, toned muscle and exercise recovery after your workout.
Healthy Chef Organic Pea Protein is a complete plant-based protein rich in essential amino acids, which helps in building and maintaining lean muscle. Adding Marine Collagen further benefits muscle tissue while also promoting joint health, skin elasticity, and recovery after exercise.
I’ve used almond meal in my recipe, which makes this bread lower in carbohydrates, boosts protein, and is gluten-free. Almond meal is also rich in healthy fats, fibre, and vitamin E, contributing to overall cardiovascular health. A generous spoonful of cinnamon adds a natural sweetness while supporting blood sugar and boosting your metabolism.
Each slice has a whopping 10g+ of protein per serve and it’s perfect as a healthy breakfast enjoyed with your morning coffee. Try it today!
