By Christina Jeffrey



Even though it's Monday, we can start the week off right with this Healthy Vegan Pumpkin Banana Chai Bread because it is gluten and dairy free! 


No need to wait until Friday to indulge because this is a guilt free whole food, and a great breakfast or snack. 


I love banana bread, but sometimes it's nice to add some variation.  With the addition of pumpkin, chai spices and vegan chocolate chips, you will have a very flavourful moist option for your family.
