Borscht

by Elissa Jewell on February 1, 2020

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.

Chicken & Mushroom Ramen

by Elissa Jewell on December 1, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on November 9, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on October 1, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on September 1, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on August 1, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on July 1, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on June 1, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on May 10, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on April 1, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on March 10, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on January 15, 2019

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

by Elissa Jewell on December 1, 2018

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.

Blueberry Rocky Road Protein Fluff

by Elissa Jewell on September 1, 2018

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

by Elissa Jewell on August 1, 2018

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)..

Steak Sandwich with Onion, Beetroot and Pickle Slaw

by Elissa Jewell on July 10, 2018

Throw an Aussie twist on your barbecue this Summer! This sandwich is a lean, protein packed version of what Australian’s call a burger or sandwich “with the lot,” with an egg, beetroot and tomato.

Caramel and Apple Granola

by Elissa Jewell on June 1, 2018

This dish is incredibly quick and easy to make, but the best part is that because you’re using an oven and not a frying pan or stovetop – it’s even easier to cook in bulk and it cuts the prep time down by about 20 minutes.
