These Salted Peanut Butter Energy Balls taste like they’ve been sent from heaven after a long run. The sodium and other minerals we lose during exercise need to be replaced and what better way than with the sea salt energy balls as delicious as these? Bibi rather surprised me singing about chocolate salty balls when…

Pistachio and Cardamom Marzipan
These vegan treats are delicious, super simple to make and would be lovely Christmas gifts. I don’t think I can really pretend that a food containing nearly a quarter sugar is healthy, but pistachios are great sources of mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin E and iron. Just make sure you share them around and don’t eat them all. (Believe…
Hazelnut and Date Breakfast Smoothie
As you know, we Veggie Runners love a hearty breakfast. Indeed, sometimes we love breakfast so much we have two. True fact. Occasionally, though, life gets in the way – flights to catch, early meetings, even earlier runs, that kind of thing – and the best option is to have a breakfast shake ready to…
Turmeric and Citrus Spiced Almonds
Turmeric is the ‘It spice’ of the moment, and with good reason. The curcumin that gives it a shocking yellow colour has been linked to health benefits ranging from heart-health and digestion-settling, to even fighting cancer. The only way it can be improved upon is to combine it with the nutritional ‘It food’ – almonds!…

Maple and Pecan Protein Balls
If you train hard you need protein to repair your muscles, right? If you’ve trained really hard, you probably want that protein to taste a little bit special. Delicious is a word often over-used by food bloggers, ourselves included, but really, these Maple and Pecan Protein Balls are the bees knees. (Question: do bees even have…
Vegan Yam Curry
I bought a yam from my local market. I’m worldly wise. I’ve travelled widely, spent 9 years studying at university (not being dim just, y’know, not getting a proper job), trained as a caterer and have been cooking for decades. Despite all this, I have to be honest, I knew not what to do with…
Vegan Festive Energy Balls
Photo: Zsolt Sandor / MothershipUK We all need extra energy in the lead up to Christmas. Even if you don’t celebrate it, the world seems to go MAD at this time of year. It all gets a bit fizzy and busy and, if you’re not careful, rather overwhelming. Don’t worry though, we have a two-part…
Chaopraya Thai Cooking School + Tofu Pad Thai Recipe
Sometimes it’s hard to be a food blogger (sing it like Tammy Wynette). Actually, that’s not true – it’s not hard, not even slightly. Especially when a restaurant like Chaopraya, gets in touch and asks if we’d like a lesson in cooking delicious Thai food. Why, yes, we most certainly would! Thank you, universe. We spent…
Vegan Rosewater and Pistachio Cake
We believe our greatest gift to humankind is our invention of the post-marathon recovery cake. No doubt our OBEs are in the post. This Vegan Rosewater and Pistachio recovery cake, created for our recent Yorkshire Marathon efforts, was so good we ate it all before I had chance to take any photos on the day. Still, at least that…
Vegan Gingerbread-Spiced Protein Granola Bars
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman, upon finishing a half-marathon, will be in want of ALL THE FOOD. I created these protein filled bars to save my life after the Great North Run. They’re based on a recipe from the really wonderful Oh She Glows, who does incredibly beautiful vegan recipes. Her…
