Glazed Gluten Free Lemon Loaf, High in Protein and Fiber (Refined Sugar Free!)

We all deserve a sweet treat from time to time. Don't get me wrong, a sweet treat is not worth inflammation or a weird stomach. If you're going to indulge, why not do so responsibly? 

And no that doesn't mean skipping sweets for fake sweeteners all together. I will harp more on this in future posts! We believe in natural sweeteners (in moderation). Paired with fiber, protein and health fats, you'll experience a more stable blood sugar. Aka less gut, hormonal, skin, sleep, mental and physical reactions from just trying to enjoy a sweet little treat! 

It's unrealistic to say we will never seek indulgence. That we will just be good and go without sweets in the name of health. What is realistic is finding responsible replacements that support to your body with nutrient dense ingredients. 

Every summer, I bake this glazed lemon loaf and it never fails to taste like the most refreshing treat, especially when the Texas heat hits. Besides, this tasty experience is easy to grab and take on the go, in between nature time with pets and loved ones, or as a morning pastry item or night time treat. And no, this isn't like grabbing a slice of cake or a donut, this is packed with very supportive, nutritious ingredients like vitamin C from lemon juice, anti bacterial properties from coconut oil, minerals from sea salt, butyrate builders from our gentle prebiotic fiber, and a compound known as D-Limonine from lemon peels. This compound can decrease inflammation, kill cancer cells, and make your skin glow. We insist you only use organic lemons to avoid inflammatory pesticides. 

Free from refined sugars, each serving contains about 11 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber including beta glucans aka the only known combatant against PFAS (forever chemicals).
