Ella from FitBakes has created low calorie, high protein cake pots for health and calorie conscious cake and fitness lovers alike. But do they taste as good as real cake? I tried them and will give you my verdict here. I love cake (don’t we all?) but I’m also a 5’2 petite woman who, […]

These hemp protein brownies are rich, chocolatey and luxurious. But unlike high sugar, refined flour versions, these are filling and sustaining, high in protein and fibre, and smugly wholesome!
