Plant based, peanut butter protein bars
These homemade, vegan, protein bars are so yummy plus do not contain weird sweeteners like Maltitol that can give you an upset tummy and are way easier & cheaper to make compared to buying expensive store bought bars!
I used a berry & PB combo flavour here but they can be easily adapted to suit your tastes.
I used plant protein, mostly pea based & whey will not work so if you’re not plant based please don’t sub this as it won’t work!
Low carb, berry, chocolate topped donuts
Lower carb, grain and gluten free, can be sugar free, delicious and with a rich dark chocolate topping plus vegan friendly too, these berry donuts are a treat that will satisfy your cravings and nourish you too. These are super soft and moist, they really do taste amazing and look good too with a vibrant pink colour AND use many great ingredients that are so beneficial for you!
I used a berry powder blend (goji, beet, strawberry, cherry) that a friend got for me from Home bargains, yes you can find ingredients like this in there and the coconut flour I used was from Lidl, another discount store plus ground almonds can be found in all supermarkets too so these may sound like a fancy recipe but you can access these ingredients quite easily now.
Golden, anti-inflammatory, lentil soup
This soup is so easy to make, very nourishing and anti inflammatory to boot!
It has around 2/5 a day and goes great with some sourdough plus you can tailor the spices to your taste.
The white potato really helps to add bulk & thicken the soup consistency but you can make it thinner if you like.

Sugar free low carb blueberry lemon donuts
Didn't think there could be a healthy, tasty, low sugar AND low carb donut? Well think again because I created one! I was so careful with this recipe to strike the right balance between using low carb coconut flour (which I've found in Tesco before) but also making...
