Homemade vanilla hazelnut protein bars
These clean, plant based protein bars are a lovely little way to boost your protein intake and easy to make with wholefood, real ingredients and using protein powders that you like and trust. I personally won’t use ones with added sucralose etc and most protein bars also have a horrendous list of ingredients or lots of prebiotics that not everyone can tolerate well so you’ve no choice really but to make your own.
I used a vanilla flavour plant protein powder and hazelnuts for flavour but these are easy to adjust to whatever taste you like so feel free to play about with your bars.
Banana, caramel protein baked oats
Oats have a rep for being boring but not mine!
I played around with different plant protein flavours and fruit to make my baked oats more fun and also balanced with the cashew frosting which is so easy to make & adds healthy fats to balance out the carbs in the oats and protein for a well balanced breakfast. You can even use this as a treat and make it sweeter, plus the sweetness comes from natural sources that also contain fiber.
Rich, sugar free, chocolate frosting!
I’ve wanted to make a good, sugar free frosting for cakes for a while now, I have finally nailed one I’m happy with. This rich, peanut butter chocolate frosting is amazing, creamy and still indulgent even though it’s refined sugar free!
I love adding this to my cakes and it’s enough for 5/6 slices depending on size. I also tested this on other people & they loved it!

Sugar free low carb blueberry lemon donuts
