Hi I’m Jamie Alderton, Team Grenade Athlete and Body transformation coach. As I’m currently off season I have a habit of going into Costa and sinking into a big, sugary slice of carrot cake! I pondered and thought there must be a way that I can recreate a healthier version of my favorite slice and voila!
