Walnut & Date Power Balls
Power balls, bliss balls, protein balls, little bites of deliciousness….whatever you want to call them these bite size treats taste great and pack a great punch of healthy fats and protein without any added sweeteners or nasty stuff. They are super easy to whip up and you can keep them in the freezer so there's no excuse not to have 1 (or more!) on hand for when you’re feeling peckish.
You can substitute a variety of dried fruit, nuts and seeds depending on what you enjoy and what's in your cupboard. My baking and cooking is fairly creative (or experimental!) so these amounts are flexible depending on taste, often I just eyeball it and add things as I go but here is the basic recipe to download: Walnut & Date Power Balls Recipe

This sets up the day with protein, fats and fruit.
There are many more combos and ingredients to try - banana, spinach, almond milk - if it is tasty and blends it should be good.

Healthy Homemade Coleslaw
Coleslaw - a perfect addition to a Summer BBQ or a crunchy alternative to salad but the shop bought slaw you pick up is slathered with mayo and soon turns a healthy side dish into a calorie dense extra that you just don’t need.
Here at MW Fitness we don’t like giving up the things we love so we have come up with a delicious alternative that tastes great, is easy to put together and is super healthy.
This coleslaw is a mix of red cabbage, tangy apples, carrots and red onion all mixed together with lime, wholegrain mustard and greek yoghurt. It may sound like an unusual combination but trust us, it is so good and it really is as easy as 1,2,3!
1. Grate your carrots and apple and finely chop your red onion and cabbage (you may only need half the cabbage).
2. Mix it all together with a good dollop of greek yoghurt, a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard and the juice of ½ - 1 lime. These amounts are down to personal taste. If you want to you can substitute half the greek yoghurt with some light mayo however don’t substitute the whole amount as not only will the mayo be more calorie heavy you will lose the delicious fresh taste that the yoghurt brings.
3. Serve with your favourite meal and enjoy!
