I used these loads during my training for the 5K zombie run. A great source of protein, fibre and a mix of good fats, especially if you use hemp protein as it has a good balance between omega 3 and 6 fats. Plus some tasty peanut butter and chocolatey goodness just for good measure!
Plus they’re sweetened with fresh banana rather than dates which I feel makes a nice change.

Healthy eating made easy, who doesn’t have 10mins, noodles, spare veg, peanut butter and some kind of spice in their cupboard?
10 mins to make✓
At least 2/5 a day✓
Readily available ingredients✓
Super tasty with a chilli kick!✓
The chilli, ginger and salty flavours from the ingredients mix really well with the PB to give a spicy, sticky, tasty noodle meal. Definitely also a dish for when you’ve a cold and your nose is blocked up as the spice in this will clear it right out! Plus, getting chilli, garlic and ginger into your body regularly is great for the immune system!

Less sugar than a recipe with dates as the apricots and figs naturally contain lower levels. The great combo of the chocolate cacao*, roasted hazelnuts and vanilla powder really finishes this recipe off perfectly, I mean who doesn’t like a chocolate & hazelnut pairing!?
*I like to use raw cacao powder in recipes like this as it is not over heated therefore you are getting the max amount of beneficial compounds and antioxidants.

This is a great dinner, so tasty with the creamy hummus which also adds great moisture, savoury mushrooms and with an added kick of heat from the chilli flakes, you can of course leave them out if you don’t like chilli.
By using wholemeal spelt flour and adding a side salad you’re cramming in some lovely nutrition as you tuck into a lovely, hearty, filling plate of deliciousness!
Proper healthy comfort food is what this is.

Great, handy, healthy, delicious snack that counts as 1/5 a day! Brilliant for lunch boxes and once cooked they keep well in the fridge, chilling there until you need a quick snack e.g. great for when you’ve just finished a gym session & you’re hungry, just grab and eat, nom nom!

These are some really nutritious and tasty flapjacks with secret veg that no one will notice.
The Vitamin A in the squash will be better absorbed by the fat from the cashew butter, plus the addition of this makes it creamier. This recipe is also filled with fibre which is slow releasing in energy and you can’t be bad to a flapjack which has a veg in it AND still tastes amazing plus is one of the best ways to get nutrition into your body and your kids without anyone knowing about the veg!
The before and after of my taste test of these babies!
