My boyfriend is ‘bulking’ – which, for those who don’t know what it means, is basically trying to gain mass and muscle. My mission – to make a Chocolate Orange Protein Bread for my boyfriend that he doesn’t feel guilty eating, has a good boost of protein in it and is still a tasty treat. […]

Vegan Dark Chocolate and Orange Oatmeal Cookies
January 1, 2017 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies, Free From, Vegan
It’s January and I’m overwhelmed with Veganuary posts on social media. Anyone else trying it? I’m trying a Vegan diet for a few days a week, for reasons I won’t talk about now, so thought it was a great excuse to make a ‘healthy’ Vegan snack, and that’s where these Vegan Dark Chocolate and Orange […]
Chocolate Chip Protein Loaf
September 9, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bread, Fitness Fuel, Healthy Alternative, Loaf
After an incredible time filming, it’s time to get back to the gym for myself and my boyfriend. A little steady encouragement came in the form of this Chocolate Chip Protein Loaf – if we go, we can have some. Jonno wanted something that was ‘as healthy as possible but not compromising on taste’ – […]
Purple Fruit Loaves
July 7, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Free From, Gluten Free, Loaf
This gorgeous weather has me craving berries, and the shops are full of the purple variety (blueberries/blackberries etc…) so, I thought I’d stick them in a bake and simply call them ‘Purple Fruit Loaves’. This is a gluten free recipe, but if you aren’t gluten free, you can substitute the gluten free oats and flour […]
Vegan Snap Cookies
July 7, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Free From, Gluten Free, Vegan
I’m not ashamed to admit that these Vegan Snap Cookies were made completely by accident. I was trying out a different vegan bake (which will be up soon) and realised I had the wrong consistency of ingredients. I desperately didn’t want to waste anything I had used, so turned them into these chocolate dipped moreish […]

June 6, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
WHAT????!!! I hear you scream? I’ve made some protein style Revels. Yep. “Prevels” – Vanilla and White Chocolate Protein Revels. These bite sized pieces of gorgeousness are a protein packed, no bake, gluten free, healthy alternative snack. Try saying that in one breath while you deadlift 60KG.

May 5, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bread, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Loaf
My first week back from my 9 month tour and I’m back in my own kitchen. *Cue happy sigh* To get back into the ‘baking swing of things’, I (finally) decided on this Carrot, Ginger and Nut Loaf – Gluten Free. Why I hear you say? Loaves. Loaves are my favourite, favourite, favourite thing to […]
Vegan Choco Krispies

Usually my baking creations are invented because of an impending event or request, but these Vegan Choco Krispies were born out of lust. A purely selfish bake – I wanted chocolate, I wanted coconut oil, I wanted something crunchy but fudgey and I didn’t want to feel too bad about eating it (so hopefully you […]
Gluten Free Raspberry and Walnut Cake
April 4, 2016 by bright-admin - in Cake, Free From, Gluten Free
The longer, slightly warmer days have got me all ‘Spring-like’ so I thought it time for a Spring inspired bake – My Gluten Free Raspberry and Walnut Cake with a cheeky lemon drizzle. I’m back off tour for a week and wanted to make something that I could share around. My Dad was popping over […]

The Easter indulgence has come to end…just. So here are my Sweet Potato & Cottage Cheese Pancakes to get you back on the straight and narrow. Pancakes are my happy place, I love ALL varieties and ALWAYS want them. These are a healthier twist on the classic style and are great for pre work out/training […]
Pistachio Power Balls
March 3, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Vegan
I love snacking. One of my fellow cast members on the tour I am on calls me a little rabbit – always in the corner munching on something (leave your dirty jokes at the door please…!). ‘Healthy’ snacking can be challenging sometimes, so here is where my Pistachio Power Balls come into fruition. These are […]
Double Chocolate Protein Cookies
March 3, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies, Fitness Fuel
Double Chocolate PROTEIN cookies??? Why the extra protein I hear you ask? I’ve decided to venture out of my comfort zone at the gym – which would have usually consisted of a lot of running – and I have started to lift some weights. Apparently Daisy Ridley (of Star Wars fame) can deadlift 75kg…so that’s […]
Banana and Oat Protein Pancakes
January 1, 2016 by bright-admin - in Breakfast, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
I reckon most of us are taking a dive into a new gym/workout routine what with the indulgence of the holidays now over, so these Banana and Oat Protein Pancakes are here to help. I’ve always loved sports and keeping active and myself and my boyfriend were sent some protein to try out from Fortified […]

It’s the new year and lots of people have set themselves food related challenges after the festive indulgence, so I thought I’d make these Healthier Choice Apple and Walnut Muffins to help make this vile feeling a little more bearable and tasty! These Healthier Choice Apple and Walnut Muffins are Vegan, Gluten Free and have […]

December 12, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Christmas, Cupcake, Dessert, Free From, Healthy Alternative, Muffin, Vegan
These Vegan Cranberry & Pecan Upside Down Cakes are not only for the Vegan crowd. I wanted to make something that I could serve at a dinner party (or any party for that matter) and no one would know whether it was vegan/healthy/indulgent/whatever – a crowd pleaser, something that would go down well with everyone, […]
