Holy moly, carrot cake porridge is my new, most favourite thing in the world right now! I’m waking up excited every morning, looking forward to breakfast.

I made this healthy protein balls recipe last night, they are super easy to make and taste AMAZING!! Don’t let the fact that the recipe contains avocado put you off!

Read article1 pot meal- Jambalaya Recipe

Read articleAubergine, Spinach & Lentil Bolognese Recipe
I’ve got to say a massive thank you Jo Stepaniak (low-Fodmap and Vegan) for this lentil bolognese recipe!

Read articleFood Trackers – Good or Bad?
Up until about a month ago I had always tried to eat healthy but never counted my calorie intake. If I was eating mostly proteins, good carbohydrates and good fats – whilst limiting the ‘crap’ foods I would be happy. To be completely honest that worked well for me, considering how active I am I […]
