As regular readers will now my belly-busting days are now back in full swing. Regular circuit training is now back on the agenda and I am trying to eat clean at least 5 days a week. What I have struggled with most is the concept of eating more, but smaller, meals throughout the day. This still doesn’t totally gel with our routine but we are getting better at it.
Increased exercise though automatically leads to increased appetite so I have been trying to come up with some clean-ish snacks.
This is my favourite night-time treat with a cup of herbal tea. It is a bit of a hybrid recipe taken in part from a friend’s slimming world recipe and part from a recipe over at Eat Yourself Skinny. I would strongly recommend this site for more clean recipe ideas.
I am NO baker but this requires one jug, one bowl, a wooden spoon, a baking tray and that is all. It is so very simple. And it’s truly yummy.
If you do give it a whirl please let me know what you think.

- 1/2 tsp all spice

- 50ml fat free Greek yoghurt
- 150ml freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1.5 tbsp local honey
- Preheat oven to 180 deg C.

- Allow to cool for ten minutes.
- Divide into 12 and allow to cool completely.
- What makes this even simpler is the fact everything can be measured with just one measuring jug and a few measuring spoons.
I think even I could manage this! It sounds so easy to make and very tasty x
It honestly could not be easier!
will need to give this a try, can I substitute golden syrup or malt extract for the honey as I cant eat honey?
Of course. Golden syrup would taste awesome!
This looks great. I do like adding peanut butter to my flapjacks for some extra flavour. I will have to try this soon!
YUM ! I remember making something similar last summer! So need to do it again!
Oooo nice! I know what I am making with the kids when they get home from school !
