That’s right… we’re claiming that this is the BEST Paleo Banana Bread EVER… well, that we’ve tasted anyway! Yay! Yum! We think you’re going to love it too!
DISCLAIMER! We don’t follow any ‘diet’ anymore. This is one of our old favourite recipes still. To read more about our journey of quitting dieting, head here.
Yep! That means gluten free, grain free, dairy free (if you swap out the butter!), refined sugar free banana bread! Taste free? Na-uhhh! Taste FULL!
It’s all thanks to Merrymaker Mum – seriously, she makes the BEST paleo sweet treats.
This banana bread is so delicious, we’ve even made it into banana bread and butter pudding, you can get that recipe OVER HERE!
To make this paleo banana bread all kinds of crazy yum, whip up a batch of our sugar free chocolate and drizzle on top… oh. My. Food!

Yoga and Pilates completely changed our lives and this is why we created MerryBody Online Yoga, Pilates and Meditation Studio.
The MerryBody Method™ thinks about exercising and fitness in a different, refreshing and entirely holistic way with two steps…
Building a positive, renewed mindset
By shifting your mindset, you can change your relationship with working out and your body. You’ll learn to cultivate a positive mindset that changes the voice in your head from “I need to lose weight” to “I’m doing this because I actually enjoy it and because it feels good”.
No matter what your body looks like, the most important thing is how you feel about yourself. Through Meditation and focusing on your mindset, MerryBody Online Studio looks at your intentions and works first on accepting yourself.
Movement that makes your body feel joy
To give you the joy of moving freely and in an empowering way – it shouldn’t cause you to barely be able to walk down the stairs or cause you to need to roll out of bed after a workout. The way we see it, the goal of exercise should be to make your body feel amazing.
Take time to understand your body’s needs, how it responds and exercise in a way that’s just right for you – and brings you the most joy. Using a gentle yet effective approach of Pilates and Yoga, MerryBody workouts invite you to explore what feels good for your body.
If this resonates with you we invite you to try MerryBody for 7 days. Experience the classes, the meditations, the community and see how you feel.
You can sign up for your 7 Day MerryBody Experience OVER HERE!
Always merrymaking,
