Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle becomes increasingly more difficult because of two things – the constant availability of food, and the busy environment we all live in day-to-day.
We also tend to put more pressure on ourselves, to continue to eat healthy foods that boost our energy and help us develop. If you’re like me, and addicted to training and keeping as it as possible, then your diet if one of the most important things in your average day. You’re constantly thinking of food and what you can have for your next meal.
You’ve probably heard of the phases “cheat day” or “treat day” a million times, but if you’re craving certain foods, there’s a high possibility that you haven’t got your diet right.
We all have our vices and I’m not different from anyone else. For me, it’s strong black coffee and the occasional cake treat! But what if I was to tell you that it’s possible to include cake and desert into your healthy lifestyle diet without adding loads of calories…? To make it even more appealing you don’t even need an oven – just a few spare minutes and a refrigerator…. would you be interested?
Part of being healthy includes resisting the urge to run to your local shop to grab a greasy snack. Yes, it’s possible! With simple recipes like a healthy no bake banana cake or a healthy no bake cheesecake, you can whip up a snack for you and your family in no time at all. Your instant answer to a quick snack is the healthy no bake banana bread blondies, and when I say instant I mean you will have a snack in 5 minutes.

Hi, I’m Kevin Hodges and I’m addicted to sport and fitness. I hit the gym regularly and love to eat food. I used to think that I could eat anything and as long as I trained hard, I’d just burn off anything bad that I’d eaten….
Well I learned the hard way that you have to watch what you eat if you’re serious about staying in shape, which is why I started looking at better ways to “treat” myself and is why I enjoy creating new no-bake recipes for snacks that are not only healthy, but also taste great.
