Good morning nuggets! It is Monday! Yay! I hope we all enjoyed our weekend, and found time to ourselves, and made time for our families.
I really do wish that the weekends were a bit longer, but what can you do i guess (not that I get time off anyway).
Before I get into briefly describing this lush of a loaf ill just drop a line about what I got up to last night! I posted about hair growth, and a few tips to helping you get fuller, longer hair! I really hope you find it powerful, and helpful. Go have a peak, and tell me what you think. Enough about that thought, loaf time!!
Unfortunately I am only here for a few minutes to quickly introduce you all to this amazing loaf! I made it this weekend, and it has really come in handy!
I always have a piece in my purse for when I need that extra burst of energy without the added sugars and additives.
It is low glycemic so it will not cause you to crash after 30 minutes of consuming. Super fuelling, and a great form of carb energy before the gym!
I topped it with berries, and that lovely Dark Chocolate Spread (all organic, 4 ingredients, and healthy!) that I got in Willow Park Village. I will elaborate more of the purchases I made in that lovely Market Square soon – in another post – but until then I have to get going to a few meetings, appointments and gym!
Sorry I cannot say more, but this loaf sort of speaks for itself! VEGAN, DAIRY FREE, and DELICIOUS!
