Beef, Miso and Asparagus with Egg and Brazil Nuts

Lemon and Prawn Fettucine

This recipe is ridiculously versatile.
If you’re on poverty macros or a super low carb diet, exchange the pasta for konjac or zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.

Borscht

This particular soup is not a “traditional” recipe, but it’s something I whipped up to be stupidly high in potassium and other key nutrients I was finding hard to hit each day. Beetroot is one of my favorite veggies, so any opportunity I can get to drink a bowl of borscht – I will take it.

Breakfast Pizza Pancake

This meal is nutrient dense, filling, quick and easy to make with a lot of options for customisation. Adapting the ingredients can easily transform the macros here so there are plenty of options for how to make it higher or lower fat, higher or lower carbohydrate so some alternative toppings have been provided along with the basic recipe.

Chicken & Mushroom Ramen

This is the kind of recipe that you can make in bulk and keep in the fridge, and it tends to get better and better as the flavours mature! It’s also incredibly quick and easy to make, and even though it’s not technically a traditional recipe – the taste is akin to the real thing.

Cajun Prawn Arepas

Arepas are a traditional Latin American dish popular in Colombian and Venuzuela. They’re small pancakes made out of corn meal topped (or stuffed) with fillings.

Vanilla & Blueberry Rice Pudding

I decided to whip this up because I had a craving for something sweet and higher in carbs after training…

Vegan Sweet Potato and Black Bean Nachos

This is part 2 of the recipe series on how to give yourself a delicious hit of healthy nachos whilst still delivering a ridiculous amount of nutrient density and flavour.
This is the vegan version using black beans, with all other inclusions staying the same.

12 Hour Slow Cooked Sweet Potato Nachos

This is part 1 of a 2 recipe series on how to give yourself a delicious hit of healthy nachos whilst still delivering a ridiculous amount of nutrient density and flavour. Next month we’ll follow up with a vegan lime and black bean variation (although if you’re particularly impatient you can follow the below recipes for the picco de gallo, sweet potato chips and guacamole and just grab yourself a can of refried beans!)

Low Carb Chocolate Mousse

I was about to send you this killer beetroot soup recipe I made last week and then realized you guys (in the US) are about to enjoy Summer 🙂 This seems more appropriate! Ingredients: 1/2 punnet strawberries 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 1/2 small avocado 1 scoop WPI (chocolate, vanilla or cookies and cream works best) […]

Cauliflower Popcorn

Comfort food, with the nutrient density turned up to 11. I’ve tried to emulate popcorn chicken here, but transformed it into a way to get your veggies that’s a heap more fun that steaming or boiling.

Raspberry, Apple & Chocolate Muffins

Eating “clean” food can be hard when your calorie intake is high or you’re trying to add lean mass. One of the best ways to keep up your nutrient density and get a bit more food down is to treat whole foods like they’re processed!

Making muffins or other baked goods out of things like oats, fruit and eggs like this recipe does, means you will probably be able (and inclined) to eat a bit more and not feel too full.

Socca

Socca is a French and Italian delicacy made of chickpea or besan flour.
It’s incredibly simple to make, delicious and very versatile.

Thai Fried Rice

One way to cut your meal prep time in half, whilst also ensuring it tastes delicious, is to combine your veggies and your starch into one dish and then cook in bulk.

Lamb Meatballs

I can’t think of a better way to warm up than with a massive back or leg workout, followed by some post workout comfort food. This meal is Xmassy, filling, more-ish and a little bit fancy – but still super-easy to cook.
Although it seems like it’s going to be a lot to get together, this meal should take you less than 30 minutes from scratch to the table.

Christmas Protein Pudding

This recipe is a substitute for the traditional pudding. It is gluten, dairy, sugar and flour free and boasts only 2/3 of the calories, 5 times the protein, 1/5 of the carbs and sugar and twice as much fibre.

Low Carb Chocolate Mousse

These pancakes are incredibly red in colour, full of flavour and very “earthy.”ng.

Red Velvet Protein Pancakes

These pancakes are incredibly red in colour, full of flavour and very “earthy.”ng.

Blueberry Rocky Road Protein Fluff

Protein fluff is a dessert made with whey or casein powder, which is ridiculously filling and really quite decadent. It’s halfway between soft serve ice cream and pudding.

“Cheesy” BBQ Scrambled Tofu

This recipe is surprisingly protein and fibre dense, given the size!

It’s highly recommended for those vegans who find their protein and fat intakes are low, and who also need a boost of B vitamins from the nooch (nutritional yeast)..
