What I like about this product is the simple ingredient list. You add your own eggs, apple and an optional two tbsps of oil. Admittedly, I am not a fan of the label ‘Paleo conforming’ as I find it can put off because it sounds faddy. However, the recipe is simple to follow and fool proof for people like me who tend to mess around with recipes to make them healthier (usually with disastrous consequences!).

Whatever your dietary requirement this product covers most of them! A 50g slice is considered a medium-sugared, medium- fat food. However, they are natural sources of sugar and fat, and contain a good amount of protein which helps you to stay fuller for longer. My attempt is shown in the picture above. It smelt and tasted delicious! I had a slice with a cup of green tea at lunch time today.

“Ugg’s Fruit and Seed Loaf makes the perfect start to any day. Delicious toasted and smothered in a little conforming olive oil spread or just nibble when warm from the oven. The Fruit and Seed Loaf mix can also be used to make other recipes including fruit and seed cookies for healthy snacks and a sweet and tasty base to desserts such as Ugg ‘bread’ and ‘butter’ pudding!

1. A delicious, fresh tasting product, which is easy to make with only a few extra ingredients to add.
2. Another option for those who seek gluten free/dairy free products which you can bake at home.
3. Recognisable ingredient list.
4. Contains mono and polyunsaturated fats.
5. High protein and low in saturated fat.

     1.   Unfortunately the price would put me off purchasing this regularly. However, I recognise that the              ingredients are not cheap!
     2.    You need to spend £40 on the UGG food website before receiving free postage and packaging. So             either buy a few bits to try them out or pair up with someone to share the cost!
