Some tips
This bread is the ultimate bread for fitness and protein fans! The oats are a real superfood (think soluble fibre Beta Glucan, slow energy release, fibre, magnesium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, B-vitamins), the seeds are full of fibre and good oils, the cottage cheese and skyr are high in protein and low in fat (depending on which one you buy, they both have 0% fat), and eggs add more protein to the mix.
