If you are craving a morning/afternoon pick me up, try these crunchy chocolate brownies. High protein, gluten and sugar free they also contain good fats from flaxseeds, coconut and chia. For an optional kick you can also add ground coffee to the mixture. This will make around 6 serves and take about 10 minutes to prepare. Allow around 1 hour to set in freezer.

Perfect on a warm summers night, these beef skewers can either be BBQ’d or pan fried and are finished off with a home- made BBQ sauce. The greens salad is also dressed with a home-made salad dressing.
