When taste and health meet, the result is something exceptional. And if this something has the aromas of coffee and chocolate in it, then a truly irresistible breakfast is served! As in the case of our coffee banana bread, soft, fragrant, made even more delicious by the melted chocolate that covers it. And then banana bread is a source of carbohydrates, and therefore of energy, mineral salts, such as potassium, and proteins, thanks to yogurt, eggs and dried fruit. When protein is consumed in the morning it is even more effective at nourishing and supporting muscles than when it is consumed during the rest of the day! Finally, dark chocolate is a source of antioxidants while coffee improves attention and concentration.
