RECIPE + WORDS: Alyce Cimino Naturopath
We have had poop porridge and now we have poop bread! As Naturopaths and Nutritionists, we are obsessed with people’s digestive health and bowel motions – without a happy elimination system everything is affected! hormones, microbiome, skin health, immune health even mood! This recipe has a blend of soluble and insoluble fibre – meaning that not only does it help eliminate the bowels it also supports the elimination of excess hormones and other toxins which are trying to make their way out of the body.
This recipe is incredibly easy to make, you can use it as a base and add in different flavours for what you are in the mood for. Best of all the ingredients were found in my pantry; most likely this will be the same situation for you too! the ingredients are very simple, the recipe is simple and it only takes five minutes to put together.
