Apple and cinnamon are a flavour match just made for each other. This Apple-Cinnamon bar tastes just as amazing as apple crumb, while packed with natural ingredients and high protein. Perfect as a pre- or post-workout snack!

Now that we’re well and truly in the middle of winter, it can be tempting to reach for your favourite snack while watching Netflix on the couch. It also gets easier to dig into those hearty ‘comfort foods’ for dinner on cold nights. But did you know the amount of carbs, as well as the type of carbs you’re eating, directly affects whether you’ll gain weight or not this winter?  

I love the smell of banana bread! Here’s a healthier alternative with less carbs and fat and more protein – and tastes just as good.

Traditionally the quiche is a French pastry dish high in carbs and fat. My high-protein version is much lower in both yet still provides you with a balanced amount of breakfast energy to fuel you for your workout – while tasting amazing of course!   

Why do I love frittatas? It’s a breakfast omelette that gives you all the nutrients you need in one easy dish! With feta to add a creamy zesty taste and pumpkin to add texture and crunch, and a low-carb/high protein content, this is one recipe you’ll be sure to enjoy too.  

If you’re like me and can’t resist peanut butter, you’ll love these protein peanut crunch bars. The perfect healthy high-energy snack, just watch out – you might not be able to stop at one!

With its healthy mix of veggies, high protein and very little fat, these Vietnamese-style rissoles also hits you with plenty of flavour. They're the perfect simple meal for lunch, dinner...or anytime!
