Seedy loaf recipe with almond flour and chia seeds
This seedy loaf recipe is as nutritious as it is sustaining. Full of protein and high-fibre carbs, it’s a delicious snack that is perfect for refuelling, especially after an active morning or a tough workout.
Chia seeds are well worth adding into your diet. These wellbeing wonders contain large amounts of fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. What’s more, they’re also teeming with high quality protein and antioxidants.
