Keto and Paleo Banana Bread

Bananas are a great fruit! They contain vitamins and minerals like potassium and vitamins B6 and C. As well, bananas have a little fiber and can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Yet, they have a high amount of carbs – something people on a keto diet must avoid. In the recipes bellow, you will learn how to make both Keto and Paleo Banana Bread so that whatever diet plan you are on, you can enjoy the delicious flavor of bananas.

Another reason bananas are perfect for right now, is that they are in season! This means you’re getting fresher bananas for your yummy banana bread. The paleo banana bread recipe will use real bananas, unlike the keto banana bread which will have a special ingredient – banana extract! Banana extract is perfect for keto recipes because it has no carbs, no calories, and is sugar-free, but will still give you that perfect banana flavor you are craving. Enjoy!

Keto Banana Bread

This keto banana bread is a low carb and sugar free take on the classic quick bread! Made with almond flour and banana extract, it's moist and tender and tastes just like any good banana bread!

I have been using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the last few weeks and It has helped me so much. I struggle quite a bit with work related stress. When I'm in the chamber I feel completely relaxed, so much so that I can bring my laptop inside and work without stressing. The calmness I feel in the chamber lasts for the remainder of the day as well. I have found too, the more consistent I am with sessions throughout the week the better I feel. The office staff seems well trained in running the tanks too, so I feel safe. I see Dr. Kilcup as well for my brain and gut health. Until now, I don't think I've ever known what "normal" or "healthy" feels like. Thank you all, sincerely!

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kilcup and be his patient for the last couple of years. He has helped me restore my health back after being exposed to toxic mold for years. He helped identify and treat all of my symptoms I was experiencing and address the root problem. I was looking for the right person who could help me heal with natural therapies and supplements and Dr. Kilcup was the perfect fit. Every appointment and session was necessary and one step towards all the progress I made. Dr. Kilcup is a great functional medicine doctor who was also an advocate for my own health and well-being. I never received any care or attention to detail from other Doctors in past experiences except with Dr. Kilcup. Anyone who is seeking a holistic path towards healing or improving their own health should see him.
