So, here’s a very simple but stunning dessert that you can make in advance and serve up […]
Strawberry, Banana & Almond Protein Loaf
It’s been an eventful weekend; a (rather drunken) girl’s night out with my fellow health food bloggers Sophie, Vicki, Katie and Sophia; I had the pleasure of seeing Muse at Manchester Arena with my husband, and in between I’ve done plenty of walking and enjoying the gorgeous Spring sunshine. It’s this vibe of warmer weather […]
Clean Chocolate & Almond Cheesecake
I’m a bit excited about this recipe…It really is one of my all-time favourites. Honestly, that first mouthful is just foodgasmic. I made this for my girlies and of course, we all went back for seconds and polished it off – I’ll definitely be making it again! Another of those ‘tastes far too naughty to […]
Vida Yoga @ Lululemon + Raw Cranberry, Ginger & Peanut Bites
Earlier today I had the pleasure of attending a Vida Yoga class run by Marley at Manchester’s Luluelemon store, along with my fellow health/food/fitness blogging babes Sophie, Vicki and Sophia.

Festive Apple, Mincemeat & Chestnut Protein Cake
Oh my, I’m excited about this recipe. My parents came to stay in Manchester for a few days and as a treat, I made this absolutely delicious cake using some of my homemade, low sugar mincemeat I had in the fridge for a few weeks. Chunky chestnuts, festive spices and an oaty, crunchy topping, this […]
No-Bake Healthy Mini Berry Cheesecakes

This isn’t a review post about the event, but I just wanted to mention a couple of brands who I came across and featured in this collaborative recipe. First up: […]
Coffee, Hazelnut & Fudgy Protein Porridge
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, without a doubt. An opportunity to refuel after an early morning workout, I love coming up with ideas that combine a balance of protein, complex carbs and fibre to keep me going throughout the morning, while also boosting my nutrients. This bowl of goodness is basically heaven […]
Spiced Pumpkin, Peanut Butter & Oat Squares
Another creation especially for Whole Earth Foods, I was keen to make something seasonal while also providing key nutrients and properties to refuel after an intense workout.

Peanut Butter & Jam Protein Overnight Oats
Peanut butter and jam – a nod to childhood; hands up if you begged your Mum to make sandwiches with this perhaps unusual combination for school? Still now, aged 27, it’s one of my favourite combos, particularly as this is a healthy and delicious take on overnight oats. After a high intense Wonder-fuel Workout video […]
