Who says eating healthily means never being able to enjoy the occasional treat?
Certainly not Alison Harris, last Sunday’s guest on Girls Around Town – and June is with her all the way on that too…
Everybody needs a bit of a treat once in a while and if it’s a guilt-free one, then so much the better.
Next time you’re tempted to reach for a chocolate bar or a cake, give Alison’s protein balls a try – quick and easy to make, you can even pop them in the freezer which means they’re always to hand when you want to spoil yourself a little!
