There is nothing that I love more than a well earned steak! After the week I've had I most definitely deserve this one. This roasted veg salad worked really well with the steak and makes this dinner recipe perfect for anyone who is watching their calorie intake. Even so this could also be accompanied with a side of sweet potato fries for those who are looking for something a little more filling.

By far the best tasting chocolate orange healthy snack out there! It blows Nakd bars right out of the water! Perfect accompanied with a coffee or tea for an afternoon pick me up or a little lunch break treat at work.
I like practical and convenient snacks and perkier foods ace both of these! The bars are perfect to have in my car/ training bag so that I can snack on when I going between work and training.
The new perkier bites are super yummy but exceeding crumbly making them not so good car food. Great to add to a homemade trail mix to liven it up a bit. Their porridge pots are perfect for busy mornings and post weight in refuels at my Olympic Lifting competitions. The only issue I find is that they have soy protein powder in, which can make the oats quite cloggy and I personally don't like the taste of soy protein powder from previous bad experiences. You don't even need to add hot water as it still mixes really well into a chilly oats bowl, and any addition of yogurt is a big bonus! Makes for a filling breakfast even on the busiest days.
I would give Perkier Foods a solid 8.5 / 10!
Great selection of healthy nutritious foods and exceeding convenient for busy people!
Having only previously heard of bounce balls I quite liked the concept of having smaller bite sized protein balls to munch on after a workout. They were a lot easier to eat as they were not coated in a variety of toppings that like to fall off during consumption, making them super ideal to eat on the go during a busy workday. One year on and I can honestly say they have become a diet staple for me. I generally like to have them as a post workout treat or with my lunch at work. Just the perfect amount of sweetness to curb any major cravings I usually have when watching my food intake for training optimisation. They also pair excellently with a cuppa or an afternoon coffee. Boost ball currently stock 4 different flavours:
 Each have their own unique perks but my favourite by far is the Lemon Drizzle protein balls with maple cinnamon roll coming is a close second. The lemon drizzle balls are super decadent and exceedingly moorish. I have to make sure that I hide any other packets before opening one so that I am not tempted to go from bag to bag… Topped with coconut shreds and a gorgeous lemony zing, if you closed your eyes you would not be able to tell the difference between these protein balls and eating a slice of lemon drizzle! Maple cinnamon roll is another great product. Takes me back to my childhood of eating all the cinnamon buns from my favourite place Cinnamon square. Unfortunately not so diet friendly. However these protein balls hit the spot. Heat them up in the microwave for 20 seconds and add a bit of cream cheese mixed with vanilla flavouring as frosting and you have a macro friendly pud that is rather satisfying. Each bag packs between 9g-11g of protein and are around 185kcal per bag! Not to mention they are vegan friendly and are super affordable. Just 99p in Aldi at the moment. 
Maple is slightly runnier than the salted caramel however both are equally tasty and do not feel grainy in your mouth which is often a problem with vegan protein products.
The chocolate brownie uses whey protein and is a bit thicker in texture.
