Banana & walnut bread

Serves - 8

Bananas are a healthy source of fibre, potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin C. They are a high carb fruit so best eaten in moderation.

Have a slice of this with a hot cup of cocoa. Simply heat some coconut milk, then stir in a teaspoon or two of cocoa powder. Add vanilla stevia if you need a sweeter taste. And guess what... Cocoa is a prebiotic! ;)

Those microbes have pretty good taste.
