There’s something so appealing about making a loaf of bread with vegetables and whey protein. It seems like a real culinary challenge: just how much goodness can we cram into one loaf of bread? To leave out any carbs, starches or any grains whatsoever makes the challenge all the more satisfying.

Well I hope you like my take on this fascinating loaf category anyway, I’ve found it holds its own quite nicely. Try a slice or two toasted with butter and you’ll be a convert, I’m certain of it. Rich, delicious and nutritious...what's not to like about that :-)

Ingredients

  • 150g carrots, grated
  • 150g parsnips (you can choose any type of vegetable- pumpkin, celery, zucchini, etc), grated
  • 5-8 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 70g organic butter (straight out of the fridge)
  • 120g soft goats cheese (or a hard one, for a stronger taste)
  • 2-3 tsp of baking powder
  • 160g almond flour
  • 3 scoops (37.5g) Pure Unflavoured Organic Whey Protein
  • 4 tbsp flax seeds
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds (shelled)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3 organic eggs
  • A handful of pitted olives
  • A handful of sun dried tomatoes
