Enjoy this sweet and zesty blueberry lemon loaf as a filling treat! Blueberries are known to reduce inflammation in the body, support skin health, and support urinary tract health. They are full of essential nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and manganese. Lemons help with digestion, balance pH levels throughout the body, and aid the body in detoxification. Coconut flour and almond flour are great alternatives for regular flour, as they are both gluten-free and high in fiber. Adding in bananas and maple syrup as sweeteners are great alternatives to processed sugar! Both ingredients are full of vitamins and antioxidants, which are essential for a well-functioning body. Serve up a slice for breakfast or enjoy for dessert!
