A deliciously moist loaf filled with the juicy goodness of blueberries. If you exclude the fruit it only has 1/3 cup of unrefined added sugar. It is still a sweet treat, but at least it is REAL food and has the added nutrient boost of LSA (Ground Linseed, Sunflower seeds and Almonds).
Not keen on a loaf? It can also be made into muffins.
