Wondering what to have for morning tea or with your cuppa? Why not give this healthy and protein rich Almond Bread a go? Traditional almond bread and biscotti recipes are usually packed with white sugar, refined white flour and other less than ideal ingredients.
This healthier version uses fibre rich wholemeal flour, eggs, almonds and either coconut sugar or Natvia for a sweet treat that you can enjoy while still staying on track.
At the Healthy Mummy, we love creating sweets and desserts that you can enjoy while still reaching your weight loss goals. It’s why we include plenty of tasty treats and desserts in our 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.
