Many people are lacking fibre in their diets, and it may seem hard to increase your intake, but a breakfast loaf like this is a fantastic place to start!
Eating a diet high in wholegrains, fruit and vegetables is the only way to ensure you are getting adequate fibre into your day. It might seem impossible, but really if you are eating the recommended serving of each food group you will reach 30g of fibre easy peasy! This loaf is a fantastic quick breakfast or lunch option, you could even add in some mashed banana for a sweet version or serve it as is with some poached eggs and sauteed greens.
