There are a lot of people that will say giving up bread is the hardest part of the Banting, low-carb lifestyle. So don't! Just choose to rather eat low-carb, nutrient rich bread. Our HEBA makes a brilliant and affordable bread. Make your favourite sandwiches or add tasty ingredients into the batter for a delicious loaf.

We all love a little bread... Banting bread that is! But making a whole loaf can sometimes be too much or too time consuming. Luckily, you can make a mini-loaf of HEBA bread in your microwave. Just enough for breakfast or lunch. Filling, hearty and always freshly baked. Try it with a spread of butter or add delicious cheese and spices to the batter before cooking. Tell us what your favourite combination is!
