Banana Strawberry Low Carb Gluten Free Bread Recipe

I've been testing out new recipes for for a lower carbohydrate diet that I started on back in February. Before I get to the recipe I have to tell you that I'm having great success with this lifestyle changing diet. In the past three months I've lost to date a total of 24 pounds, and that is without any strenuous exercise.

I must admit at first it was hard to give up bread other than low carb breads, as before I used to have bread almost every day for lunch and breakfast. But if I can do it, anyone can.  Occasionally I do have a small portion of rice or pasta, but never white. It has to be brown or whole wheat. Everyone in my family/household loves potatoes and I will cook them, but only for them. If I want potatoes I opt for sweet potatoes. 

A friend of mine asked me if I felt healthier. A month into the diet I started to have more energy, feel better about myself, and yes by all means healthier.

Enough about me and my diet, here's the recipe.
