Brunch has become a trendy excuse to get together with friends, dress up nicely and sip on a mimosa or two- not a bad situation if you ask me! I hate coming empty handed to events so I partnered with California Strawberries [Ad] to bring you a real crowd pleaser: this Almond Flour Strawberry Banana Bread.

Did you know that snacking on 8 of these flavourful berries in a day is equivalent to a whole serving of fruit?! And in this recipe, they add a twist of flavour to the traditional banana bread while providing nutritional benefits.

Packed with fibre and an excellent source of vitamin C, California strawberries are a tasty and convenient way to boost these nutrients. A fresh and comforting treat for breakfast? Yes please!
