Admittedly, the word “health food” probs isn’t the first thing you think when you look at this picture. But it is far better for your bod than the sugar-laden loaves you’d find at your local bakery. Not only is the batter gluten-free and low in refined sugar, but it also contains ginger – a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Little wonder then, it was quickly gobbled up by guests who gave it “five stars.”
"We were so surprised but it was incredibly nice of her," Elaine Woodley, from the Mountain View Farm, one of the recipients of Meghan’s banana bread told the Daily Mail during the tour. "She made it last night when she knew she was coming to a family home."
