Need a healthy pick-me-up? These mini chocolate muffins are where it’s at. These babies are awesome for chocolate cravings, are sugar free (you’re sweet enough, right?) and are totally gluten + dairy free.

It’s also one of the only nutrients your body can’t produce itself, so you have to supply it with a steady stream throughout the day.
Biology not your thing? Basically, just eat these.

Jaffa Protein Balls at the ready…
Chocolate cupcakes that are bursting with nutrients!? I know it sounds weird, but the hidden beetroot adds an unmistakably deliciously earthy flavour, complimenting the cacao perfectly.
