2 grams Avocado Oil Spray (or olive oil)
49 grams Chocolate Protein Powder
243 grams Egg Whites
14 grams Coconut Flour
30 mls Unsweetened Almond Milk (or milk of your choice)
37 grams Pitted Medjool Dates
57 grams Dark Chocolate
30 grams Hemp Seeds
Preheat the oven to 325ºF (165ºC). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with the avocado oil or olive oil.
Add the protein powder, egg whites, coconut flour, almond milk (or other milk of your choice), and dates to a blender or food processor. Blend until just smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Make sure the oven is preheated before baking.
Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the loaf pan and onto a cooling rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes to ensure they hold together.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave.
Cut the bars and drizzle the chocolate over top. Sprinkle the hemp hearts on the bars and enjoy
Tip: We love using the Switch choc sea salt flavoured protein powder for this recipe.Enjoy!
Raw chocolate has many benefits. It has 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries, is a plant-based source of iron, is rich in magnesium and calcium and is a natural mood elevator. You’ll feel pretty good after one of these bars!
Kate’s path into high‑performance sport didn’t follow the traditional script. A late bloomer and recreational runner, she found her spark during the Sydney 2000 Olympics, watching her idols surge into the stadium. That moment ignited a commitment that would quietly and profoundly reshape the course of her life.
Eight years later, she realised her own Olympic dream, representing Australia in the women’s marathon at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Her running career spanned the Commonwealth Games, multiple Australian representative teams, and national‑level competition across cross‑country, track, and road racing. With a marathon personal best of 2:28, Kate was one of Australia’s all time fastest female marathoners.
But her journey was far from linear. Significant health challenges forced her to question conventional medicine, sports nutrition and traditional training models. What felt like setbacks at the time became turning points, pushing her to explore deeper, listen more closely to her body, and ultimately develop a more sustainable, female‑centred approach to performance.
These experiences now form the foundation of the work she shares with other women: how to train smarter, nourish deeply, honour physiology, and build resilience from the inside out.
She holds three degrees including a Masters and Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy). Kate is an accredited athletics coach with Athletics Australia and a member of NHAA.
Kate’s expertise is widely recognised, leading to regular invitations to speak on podcasts, at seminars, within industry education forums, and across corporate and women’s health initiatives.
