Snack Right Zucchini Loaf

 

This loaf is fluffy and delicious, packed with protein, carbohydrates and omega 3. The added honey gives it that little bit of sweetness to cut through the zucchini and walnut flavours. This loaf is also an easy breakfast for all the mums out there that just need something to grab and go.
