If you're like me, there is only one thing that keeps clean eating a sustainable life choice - and that is a treat! We all have different cravings for things, but mine is for anything sweet, particularly freshly prepared desserts. So perhaps it's time to indulge your cravings, to control them, by having a small daily treat. And what better than a treat that is sweet, full of energy & 100% clean? A perfect pre gym energy boost or a well earned post gym recovery snack.
