Good-for-Your-Gut Nut Bread

  • Ready In 1 hour and 30 minutes
  • Serves 8

This week’s recipe is one that promotes a healthy gut! A healthy gut is truly essential for whole-body health. That’s why I almost always start treating my patients’ chronic health problems by first fixing the gut.

Today’s recipe is from The Gut Makeover, a wonderful book from Nutritional Therapist, Jeannette Hyde. It’s important to realize that optimal gut balance begins with your diet. You want to eat lots of fiber, clean protein and healthy fats – which you’ll get from this delicious, gut friendly “bread”.

Note: We are aiming for colorful vegetables to take center stage in every meal. So, enjoy a slice of this bread toasted and topped with some roasted peppers or a squeeze of lemon and cayenne pepper, and maybe even a large side salad, to keep your plant count up. Click here for PDF version.
