I love when I find food bloggers who captivate me with every single post. @paleorunningmomma is one of those people. She just gets me. When I saw this Paleo Blueberry Banana Bread of hers, I went straight to the kitchen and started bakin’. Soon, the room was filled with an aroma so sweet that my husband snuck out of his office and into the kitchen to ask me, “What smells so good?”
My morning routine has been a slice of this “bread” with a cup of coffee before my run. It gives me the energy I need to have a good workout without weighing me down. Please, please try it!
