No-Bloat Protein Blueberry Bread
For when you want bread — without the bloating.
Most bread — even the “better” kinds — is still made with wheat, fast-rising yeast, and refined flour. That combination is hard on digestion. Even sourdough is still wheat, and most sourdough in the U.S. ferments quickly, which means your gut ends up doing the work the bread didn’t.
I LOVE BREAD - I am always finding ways to have different types of bread.
This blueberry bread is different.
It’s made with real food ingredients — no grains, no refined sugar, no gums, no fillers. Just flours your body recognizes, a little natural sweetness, and enough structure to actually feel like bread, not a sad substitute.
It’s the kind of loaf you can slice for breakfast, toast lightly, or eat alongside eggs or soup — without the bloating that usually comes with it.
If you’re someone who scans flours, oils, or sweeteners and still feels confused, that’s exactly why I built the Read the Labels app — to help you spot what actually works before you eat it.
