Today I have a delicious treat recipe so you can keep it healthy and clean even when hosting parties.
Opting to live a healthy diet involved avoiding food additives, colourings and preservatives. Rather than blow your health on processed, sugar laden, dairy based treats, why not make something that will nourish you as well as tickle the taste buds 🙂
Bon appetite!
