Trek Protein Flapjacks from Natural Balance Foods*

I am a massive fan of Nak'd bars also sold by Natural Balance Food so couldn't wait to try the Trek Protein Flapjacks when offered the chance. I was very kindly sent a range of flavours to try and there really is something for everyone. Whether you like chocolate, or something a bit fruity there's a flapjack out there for you!


I'm not fussy and I really liked the look of them all but I especially couldn't wait to try the Cocoa Coconut Flapjack. It tasted really good. The flapjack was moist and there was just enough chocolate covering the surface. This was reminiscent of a bounty, but a lot better for you!


I love how these feel so guilt free, Trek's simple ingredients and the fact that they are Gluten Free and Vegan and packed with protein means these appeal to a wide market. The cocoa oat bar is also delicious. I think I definitely have a preference for the chocolate coated flapjacks!



I took a couple of these on a bicycle ride recently and they were perfect for giving me a quick boost on the saddle and providing me with enough energy to ride home.

Monthly Weigh in and Food diary - March

March's monthly food diaries if anyone is interested! I love logging everything for the month it's much easier than the weekly's. I've had a terrible month and I contemplated not even posting this but I'm gonna be real with you guys.


Week 8 +1lb

 Probably the busiest week of my life hah. Not only did I have a roast dinner, I had a Burger King (a HUGE one), a Fry Up and all manner of naughty foods. It's out of my system now. I have a nice clear week, I think... I've drawn a line under my weight gain and will be trying extra hard this week.


 Week 9 -1lb

I aimed to try harder this week, it was a tough start but alongside walking a lot more than usual I powered through with the healthy eating. Me and my boyfriend also went on a bike ride which was lovely. I tried the Slimming World chicken tikka masala too which I thought was really good. I also made a healthy vegan banana loaf which appeared a lot in my food diary this week!


Week 10 +0.5lbs

A reasonably clear week ahead of me, I thought this could go either way. I'd be lucky to lose weight but who knows. Apart from a couple of days where I didn't really stick to being 100% healthy, I pulled it around after the weekend. I've been doing Yoga this week too! Just beginners videos but I am feeling a difference in my core already.


Week 11 +3.5lbs

Well this week was my boyfriend's birthday and I hate to make excuses but I ordered him a massive cake and took him for dinner and breakfast too, chips at the seaside and more cake so I have admittedly indulged! But I enjoyed every bite. This has been a rubbish weight loss month! But I can continue to keep trying.


Total weight loss this month: +3.5.
Pounds to target: 15.
