My interest in raising my protein intake made me understand that I need to stop relying on store-bought protein bars and make my own recipe, because I need to be sure that all the ingredients are whole and health-approved. I took advantage of the upcoming Valentine’s Day and created this pinkish low carb protein bar recipe using nut butter, protein powder, nuts and coconut oil. These easy protein bars….
Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream, the Guilt Free Desert
Testing quick ice-cream recipes using healthy ingredients is my favorite activity ever since we came back from our summer holiday in Sardinia (the ice-cream heaven!).

Ice Cream Cake with Peanut Butter and Chocolate, The Perfect Summer Desert
Sometimes life can get boring when you get caught in the same every day routine, other times a lot of things happen within short periods, making you feel like a totally different person from a week to another.
