Fruit loaf
The perfect snack for your festive afternoon tea.
Did you know that baking bread at home is actually quite easy? We let our creativity run wild and have created a vegan fruit bread.
With our YOGI TEA® Immune Support, the fruity components of the bread are enhanced by the taste of acerola cherry, echinacea and elderberry, which contribute to a healthy lifestyle, even during this festive season. That's why we created a vegan alternative to this traditional holiday recipe.
In our opinion, it's the perfect excuse to spend some mindful time with loved ones and fill your home with a wonderful Christmas scent.
