There's no need to give up your favourite treats when you move to a wholefood approach to eating - just switch them up a little! In our opinion, healthier alternatives taste even better! Take these adorable earl grey tea cakes for example. They look just like the ones Nan used to make, but they're brimming with good-for-you ingredients and Madame Flavour's Australian Afternoon Grey blend. The frosting is cashew cream and it's delish. What's your favourite healthy treat?
