Chocolate Sunflower High Protein Cookies

Chocolate Sunflower High Protein Cookies

It's been a while since we've had a proper cookie recipe and with the new sunflower seed protein powders now in store it seemed a good time to get experimenting with a chocolate version!

Berry Smoothie Bowl

Berry Smoothie Bowl

Smoothies are a brilliant start to the day. Quick and simple and perfect when you are on the go.

They are so quick to throw together especially if (like me) you have some pre-cooked quinoa in the fridge or freezer… I always make a big batch!  I served these with a little dollop of yoghurt mixed with garam masala.
