I am thinking you might really like this Paleo Zucchini Bread. Zucchini is anti-inflammatory. In 2016 my shoulder was severely injured in a car accident. I was caregiving at the time and so could not take off the time to recuperate after surgery. So, I endured shoulder pain for over 4 years. This was one of the reasons why I investigated and took on the Paleo lifestyle, to reduce and even eliminate the pain associated with the inflammation.

After removing grain and refined sugar from my body and undertaking the right rehabilitation the pain began to lessen and actually disappeared. Now if I indulge in eating real ice cream or some sweet dessert (with refined sugar), my body starts to ache with pain, not only in my shoulder but everywhere.

I’ve now moved to a Keto Low-Carb lifestyle. This bread is not Keto compliant. It is Paleo compliant and fabulous if you are still incorporating fruit like pineapple in your lifestyle.

Back to zucchini…

WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF PALEO ZUCCHINI BREAD?

Is this Paleo Zucchini Bread nutritional? Zucchini is high in antioxidants (lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene), helps your bowls (high in water and soluble fiber), improves heart health, strengthens your vision (vitamin A), reduces inflammation, and helps with weight loss and may help reduce blood sugar (low-carb).

This bread also contains fresh pineapple, which is like a super food. This fruit is high in vitamin C, A, and beta-carotene, thus protecting your body from free radicals and boosting your immune system. Its vitamins B1 and B6 help to break down sugar and starches in the digestive system. Pineapple’s copper content helps red blood cells synthesize. And with potassium, this fruit controls your heart rate and blood pressure.

WHAT IS THE TASTE PROFILE OF PALEO ZUCCHINI BREAD?

Due to the apple sauce and pineapple in this Paleo Zucchini Bread, light sweetness is the predominant taste sensation.

WHAT BEVERAGE HARMONIZES WITH PALEO ZUCCHINI BREAD?

To create harmony on the palate you would need a non alcoholic wine sweeter than the dessert. That’s far too much sugar to consume at one time. Monitoring sugar intake is important because it helps prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes, reduces the risk of health issues like obesity and diabetes, and maintains overall well-being. Choose hot tea. You can always pair the flavours of the Paleo zucchin bread with those in the tea.

Here are five hot teas that can complement zucchini bread with pineapple:

Chamomile Tea: Its gentle, floral flavor can contrast nicely with the sweetness of the pineapple and provide a soothing accompaniment to the zucchini bread.
Ginger Tea: The warm and spicy notes of ginger can add a zingy contrast to the sweet pineapple flavor while also aiding digestion, which can be helpful after indulging in zucchini bread.
Green Tea: Its clean, grassy notes can provide a refreshing palate cleanser between bites of zucchini bread, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Earl Grey Tea: The bergamot citrus flavor in Earl Grey can complement the tropical sweetness of pineapple while offering a fragrant and sophisticated pairing with zucchini bread.
Peppermint Tea: Refreshing and invigorating, peppermint tea can provide a cool contrast to the warmth of zucchini bread and pineapple while aiding digestion and freshening the palate.

HOW TO YOU PREPARE PALEO ZUCCHINI BREAD?

Preheat oven to 350 F (170 c). In a food mixer or processor add all dry ingredients, egg, and apple sauce. Mix until well blended.

Remove the bowl from the mixer. Fold in to mix the zucchini, pineapple cubes, and walnuts. Transfer mix to a 4 cup (4″ X 8″) loaf pan sprayed with avocado non-stick cooking spray. Bake loaf for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Cover with tinfoil and bake another 15 to 20 minutes to ensure the center of the loaf is done. (Pineapple and apple sauce make the dough wet.) Remove from the oven. Let the loaf cool. When cooled, loosen sides and flip over onto a plate. Serve at room temperature or toast in a toaster or Panini press.
