This Savoury Zucchini Protein Bread is packed with protein, healthy fats, and fibre, making it the perfect base for any meal of the day. The zucchini keeps it moist, while seeds, nuts, and a boost of collagen support satiety, a healthy weight, and energy. We love to enjoy this with smashed avocado for breakfast, paired with a fresh salad at lunch, or sliced up as a protein-rich savoury snack on the go. Bonus -it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and nutrient-dense.
