Nut Free Paleo Sandwich Bread
A couple of months ago I noticed that I was reacting to almonds, which meant that many paleo recipes were off limits. 

After making some ham the other day, I was like, man, a ham sandwich sounds really good!

So, what did I do?

Came up with a nut free paleo sandwich bread of course!

I still wanted it low-carb, so I opted not to use things like cassava flour. Instead, I went with hemp seeds and coconut flour!

Hemp is amazing because it contains all of the essential amino acids...meaning, all the ones the body can't make itself. The ones we have to consume through diet or supplementation.

It is also a great source of protein - which you know I love for mental and hormone health!

Coconut flour is not only a great healthy fat, but it is also an awesome source of fibre! 

I know I have talked about this a lot, but fibre is vital for hormone health, especially if you have oestrogen dominance or an oestrogen dominant condition, like endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and/or PCOS.

Why? Well, when the body clears oestrogen, it gets sent to the colon for elimination. 

But...in order to actually poop it out, the oestrogen must bind to fibre. If not, it will just get reabsorbed into the body. Not good!

Now, this bread is not only delicious and mild in flavour, it takes less than 5 minutes to whip up and is really soft and spongy, like a gluten containing bread. 

It isn't dense like many of the keto and paleo options available. 

I hope you like it as much as I do!

P.S. - Excuse the terrible photo! When I make some more bread, I will update it to a much nicer one ;) For now, ignore the sandwich filling and just look how light and airy the bread is!

*Pro tip:  Sift your coconut flour before you mix anything with it to make your baked goods even lighter. Whisking your eggs really well before adding them to the mix also helps with this. 

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Hemp Seed Flour
1/4 cup Coconut Flour
1.5 tsp Aluminum Free Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
8 Free Range Eggs
1/2 cup Grass-Fed Ghee, melted
2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°  Celsius.
2. Place all ingredients into a mixer or high-speed blender. I used my Vitamix.
3. Mix or blend on high for 1 minute.
4. Line a 9 x 13 baking tray with unbleached parchment paper.
5. Pour the mixture into the baking tray.
6. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes.
7. When you make your sandwich, you will cut the bread horizontally through the middle. 
8. Enjoy!

MEET JEN

 
Hello! Thank you popping by! I’m Jen. I'm a wife, a furmama to two gorgeous dogs, a Naturopath, Nutritionist, and an advocate for natural ways to support physical and emotional wellbeing. Oh, and I’m a CEO! 

My journey originally started in Psychology. You see, when I was 16 my father took his own life after suffering years of a debilitating gambling addiction. I did a Bachelor’s in Psych as I wanted to understand why he made the choices that he did. I also wanted to ensure that I never went down that path and also help those suffering as he did. I loved it so much I went on to do a Masters.

It was during that time I got sick. I’m talking woke up one morning and couldn’t get out of bed, sick. For many years I felt helpless and frustrated!

Let me back up for a second. Prior to this life consisted of pain and fatigue. I had digestive issues and IBS from childhood. Through my teens and early 20's I was getting 2-3 migraines a month around my cycle and headaches more than half the month. My periods we very painful – I had to miss work or school the first 1-2 days. I would literally lie on the floor or the bed curled in the foetal position and cry from the pain. I could easily talk a full packet of Ibuprofen and still not get much relief.

Then, at 26, my period stopped altogether and things went downhill fast! For the first time in my life I was feeling apathetic and overwhelmed. Over the course of the next two years I was diagnosed with a host of conditions – are you ready for the laundry list? The first diagnosis was PCOS. I was told that I was infertile, that I would never have children, and that IVF wasn’t an option for me. I was also told that I was pre-diabetic, that my liver was worse than an alcoholic’s (and I don’t drink), that I had migraine disorder, vertigo, and adrenal fatigue. The cherry on the cake was a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s at 28.

I was in complete and utter shock. I couldn’t fathom that a 28-year-old Personal Trainer, who looked fit and healthy on the outside, could be in such disarray on the inside.  

Over the two years I saw five doctors and a Naturopath and nothing improved.

And then one day a friend and I got in touch. She told me to change my diet and take specific supplements. I figured I had nothing to lose, and so I did! I went onto a low-carb diet and was taking upward of 30-40 pills a day…and guess what?! Three months later my period started!! How incredible is that?!

Over the next two years all of my health ailments rectified! Well, all except my Hashi’s – more on that in a minute. My cycles became clockwork, they were manageable, the migraines and vertigo disappeared and my liver and blood sugar levels returned to the normal range! How exciting is that?! The best part, I can now have children should I choose! Having that option is incredible!

Of course I was so excited and inspired that I had to go to school and study Nutritional Medicine and Naturopathy.

Now, let’s talk about my Hashi’s. That only went into remission when my toxic load was decreased. That was a lightbulb moment for me and the moment I got fired up to share with others the importance of leading a low-tox life. I love educating people where toxins are found, what impact they have on physical and emotional wellbeing, and what products to replace them with to support your wellbeing. 

I sincerely believe that many of my health issues would not have presented if I were living a low-tox life. My Hashi’s has been in remission since I was 31 and I am so proud to say that! Praise God!

Life is so different to what it was 10 years ago. I have the energy and the mental capacity to engage in life! I am present and am thriving. Oh, and I laugh! I actually laugh out loud, something that eluded me for many years.

I am happy and healthy and it is my mission to help YOU be the happy, healthy person you are meant to be!
I would love for you to join our exclusive community and learn how you too can find freedom from physical and emotional barriers. I look forward to seeing you there!
