You need to make this right now. This takes less than 30 minutes to make, is hearty and wholesome, perfect all year round, feels like comfort food but actually provides a bit of protein and two of your five-a-day, so isn’t that bad for you making it the perfect dish for the end of a long day. Are you in the kitchen yet?   Nutritional Information   INGREDIENT CHOICES AND SUBSTITUTIONS   I used the Elmlea Plant Double for this dish, which is soy free and nut free, but you can use any vegan cream of your choice if you’d rather use a coconut or…

Chia pudding for breakfast? Groundbreaking. And a little boring in 2024. But this peanut butter protein chia pudding is chocolatey, sweet, gooey and all the things you want from a ‘treat’ breakfast with all the goodness of a plain old chia pudding.   It only takes five minutes (maybe less) to prep, and you can make in bulk for the week for a very easy high protein vegan breakfast. A regular chia pudding doesn’t have much to it, and you’d probably have to bulk it up with fresh fruit or nuts/ granola – something with a little more substance. This chia…

I’m well aware that overnight oats have been done to death and you’ve tried every flavour under the sun, but these key lime pie overnight oats taste as delicious as dessert with the creaminess of it too while providing you with all the slow release energy you need for the day ahead and a good amount of protein too.  Just like the dessert, there’s a biscuit layer, topped with a delectable creamy citrus layer.   NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION   This recipe serves two. Each serving contains 494 calories, 17g of protein and 10g of fibre. One pot also provides 94% of…

Full disclosure, I don’t have a clue what this dish is. It isn’t a pie because there’s no pastry. It isn’t a crumble because it has a base. I’m not sure if I can technically call it an apple tart with a crumble style topping either. But whatever it is, this baked apple dessert is delicious. It’s lightly spiced, and naturally sweet with a nutty base and topping.   NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION   Each serving contains 225 calories, 4g of fibre and 4g of protein. One serving also contains 20% of the recommended daily amount of B2 and a third of your daily…

I know it looks interesting, but I promise all you can taste is berries. Promise. This antioxidant rich beetroot smoothie contains four of your five-a-day, a boatload of vitamins and the antioxidant rich foods are great for your heart health and skin.   NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION   I didn’t add any extra protein powder, nut butter or healthy fats to this recipe, so this isn’t supposed to be a meal replacement. This is a drink, a nice, good for you, vitamin rich beverage to go alongside your breakfast, or as a little ‘snack’.   Each smoothie contains 178 calories, 10g of…

When it comes to potato skins, for me, the crispier the better, so that was the ultimate goal when it came to making this crispy garlic potato skins recipe. If you want potato skins that somewhat resemble a chip, this one isn’t for you.   This recipe contains just five ingredients (technically 6 if we’re counting the salt) and they only take about 20 minutes to cook, so they’re a great option if you need a snack or starter that appeals to the masses, but you aren’t time rich.   NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION   Each serving contains 189 calories, 2.5g of…

I had to make a vegan version of the viral yoghurt toast recipe. I thick vanilla cream baked onto toast, basically like a sweet custard toast topped with fresh fruit – blueberries today. Ready in less than 30 minutes, a perfect weekend breakfast recipe. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION   The nutritional information will vary depending on the brands of bread, yoghurt etc used, but the following is correct for the brand of seeded wholemeal bread and Greek style yoghurt that I used.  Each slice of yoghurt toast, without toppings, contains 128 calories, 5g of fibre and 4g of protein.  INGREDIENT CHOICES AND…

These beetroot nuggets are a great way to feel like you’re having a little treat while still filling your body with vitamins and minerals. The crispy coating satisfies all your comfort food cravings while the vegetable filling keeps you well nourished.   Nuggets may sound like a dish for kids, but this dish is designed more for an adult palette with each nugget dipped in hot sauce before rolled in breadcrumbs to give them a little kick.   NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION   INGREDIENT CHOICES AND SUBSTITUTIONS   If you don’t want to make this recipe with the hot sauce, you can…

I have a vegan lentil ragu recipe that I’ve been making for years now, and while I love it, it’s time for something new. This vegan ragu recipe has a texture more like mince, but rather than using fake meat, it’s a mix of processed vegetables and nuts that make up the base of this dish.  The vegan ‘mince’ takes a while to make, but it’s worth it if you want a more traditional texture. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION   This dish doesn’t contain as much protein as my classic lentil version, but due to the nuts in the base it does contain some…
