Superfood seed bread
Once you’ve tried my popular superfood seed bread, I can almost guarantee, you’ll never crave white, processed bread again. My family and I love this bread so much – I always have a loaf ready to be devoured. It tastes delicious either fresh or toasted with peanut butter or ripe avocado slices and a pinch of salt. It also works so well as an open sandwich with your choice of filling or in winter with a hearty soup such as my bean and vegetable soup recipe.
Believe it or not, you can have this bread on my Elimin8 Cleanse Programme because it’s packed with all the good stuff such as chia seeds, almonds, flax seeds, rolled oats and sunflower seeds. It’s also high in fibre and sugar and wheat free.

- Remove from tin, place upside down directly on the oven rack and bake for another 30-40 minutes, until it sounds hollow when tapped.
