Blueberry french toast rolls
Get your day off to a great start with this fruity vegan version of French toast for your breakfast, complete with banana and blueberries.
The berries in question are 100% organically grown European blueberries, infused with an apple juice concentrate. The dark blue colour of these berries is due to high levels of anthocyanins, which are substances produced by the shrub to protect its fruits against harmful external influences. The berries used by Biotona are picked in the wild at altitudes in excess of 1500 metres, following which they are immediately dried to retain maximum goodness and flavour.
