Baking Demo with Manda

Does it look easy? Do you think you could do this?
Bake-along with Primal Alternative Founder H!
Curious to try some Primal Alternative products before signing up as a Primalista? Our range of real-food ingredients might already have you excited—but there’s something about actually baking the recipes yourself, right? If you’re thinking about producing these products in your own kitchen, you’ll want to experience the process firsthand!
That’s why I’m inviting you to bake along with me. We’ll make a Primal Alternative-inspired loaf (not an official product but very similar). It’s the perfect way to see if this baking style feels like a fit for you! And, when you join as a Primalista, you’ll get immediate access to three of our authentic recipes in your first 7 days.
Most of our Primalistas sign up without having tried a single product—but they trust the brand’s reputation. We’ve been around for over a decade, loved by thousands of customers, and proudly recommended by naturopaths, nutritionists, and doctors. We’ve even collaborated with health leaders like Quirky Cooking and Low Tox Life.
This business model is built for a domestic kitchen, so yes, you’ll be able to bake a batch of 12 loaves in one go! While our loaves bake, I’ll also be answering some FAQs about becoming a Primalista.
Let’s get baking together!
Ingredients: 120g zucchini/pumpkin, 150g blanched almond meal, 120g tapioca flour, 4 eggs, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp bicarb soda, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar.
