03 Jan 2017

Excuse us for a moment while we go all #fitspo on you – because you can swear to everyone who’ll listen to you that you’re going to get healthy this year, but we guarantee your iron clad resolve will fall the moment you get a case of hangry and someone waves a packet of Tim Tams in your face.
It’s ok, because we have a solution – a big batch of home made protein balls that are guaranteed not to taste like a weird blend of seaweed and cardboard, and will quash any sugar cravings. Stick them in the freezer and every time you feel a fit of hunger induced madness coming on you’ve got a healthy snack ready to go – no raiding of the pantry necessary.
