Why we love Sourdough Zucchini Bread Recipe

Our Sourdough Zucchini Bread Recipe is a sweet loaf that uses overripe banana’s and some of those zucchini growing like crazy out in the garden!

If you don’t have a sourdough starter than simply replace it with the same amount of sour cream.  

Either way you’ll love it!

Fit Friday with Nichole

Happy Fit Friday. We are talking about one of my favorite movements, single led deadlifts. Why is it a favorite? I am so glad you asked.

Single leg deadlifts allow for me to work strength while also working stability, both are very much needed in my life. One of the biggest benefits for me is to improve hip mechanics.

This is an exercise I love to use in my warm up. It is great at waking up the muscles and getting those fibers activated. 
 
So let’s talk about the how
Single-leg deadlifts work all the major muscles it’s two-legged namesake does: the hamstrings, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, ankles, and the core. While also adding stability and balance.
 
The single leg allows for you to work the weaker side more effectively by simply removing the temptation for your stronger side to take over and do more or all the work.

    is this discard sourdough starter for the recipe or are you saying sourdough starter for the recipe?

    • Hello Catherine, I apologize for any confusion–yes, there are 2 cups of sourdough starter in this recipe. I’ll take a look over it to be sure it’s not confusing. We love our sourdough starter and this bread is a delight! Thanks for the comment. xoxo~ Ruthie
