Homemade No-Bake Cherry Ripe Bars
5 ingredients and about 20 minutes will win you 10 of these bars. Even better – they’re free of the preservatives, plastic packaging and other nasties you’ll find in your average chocolate bar! Check out the recipe here.
Cypriot Salad With A Twist
This salad isn’t technically nut-free so you’ll need to omit them to make it lunchbox-safe! It’s perfect to make in advance – it tastes even better after a day or two.
Pair it with your favourite choice of protein or as a side – this one has been paired with seared feta (exactly how you’d sear haloumi) – yum! Recipe here.

These cookies were our number-two most made recipe of 2018 – second only to our Chunky Hedgehog Slice! They’re perfect for lunchboxes – just substitute your choice of flour in place of the almond meal. Check out the recipe here.
Spiced Pumpkin Quinoa
This salad is nutritiously packed and perfect to make in advance – simply swap out the maple nuts for maple roasted chickpeas, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Get the recipe here.

Oat Blueberry Spelt Muffins
Not a nut in sight, refined sugar free and optionally dairy free. But most importantly – delicious, of course. Check out the recipe here!
