I made these little protein balls using a blend of about 3 recipes I'd found online. I don't like artificial sweeteners or added salt so I nixed those immediately, and what emerged was a mix of ball recipes that I am calling AMAZEBALLS! As my hubs always says "You can never just follow a recipe can you?". No! Apparently not ;) These little balls were made last week. I knew I'd found a winner immediately when hubs ate them, and liked them! Though he did say they were a little too sweet and too …

Recipe: Chocolate Covered Brazil Nuts
Another Meatless Monday (insert fanfare) and another full day of eating, plus a recipe for chocolate covered brazil nuts. I've made a full vlog which is embedded and linked below but just to show you the most delicious food I ate Saturday it was this meal at Lotus Vegan: Chickn & Pancakes!!! Let me tell you it was freakin' awesome! Looks good right? Yep, vegan diets are so restrictive, lol! Bob had a chickn wrap and his was equally delicious. Their curry is good too (my favorite is the …
Recipe – Chipotle Style Burrito Bowl
BOOM! Hear that? That's the sound of shit getting done. Namely it's the sound of meĀ uploading to YouTube, posting on social media and the blog, and generally getting my shit together. Nope hell didn't freeze over, I just decided to make motivating, inspiring and sharing a priority. So with that here is a "what I ate in a day" post (including a recipe for a burrito bowl a'la Chipotle) as a plant based or vegan athlete. Why share that? Because: I realized that people have no clue how to eat …
One Pot cooking: Chik’n Pasta
So I'm going to admit that I'm a lazy cook. I don't really measure anything, I see ingredient lists as suggestions, and I hate anything that takes longer than 30 minutes to prepare AND cook! So I'm making it a mission to become the queen of 30 minute meals, and if that 30 minutes is actually 5 minutes prep with 25 minutes cooking in a rice cooker where I don't have to 'baby' it, then Yay! One Pot Cooking: Chik'n Pasta This dish was born last Friday. I'd been at Gold's Gym and …

It's Meatless Monday, so I hope you have plans for meatfree meals today. If not, no fear I'm here to save the day. Like a plant based superhero. Cast your mind back to July when I mentioned I had the Spicy Indian Veggie Burger from Morning Star farms in not one but TWO of the free meals we scored at Blogfest. Well since then I've been playing with the Morning Star Farms spicy indian burgers and made my own version I'm calling Spicy Indian Style Quinoa Spicy Indian Style Quinoa If you haven't …
Soy Foods recipes from IDEA WORLD Fitness Convention
Last month, at the IDEA WORLD fitness convention I got the chance to witness change. Not only were there more vegan protein powder options, but there were vegan vendors, and vegan food demo's at the nutrition stage. As I'm vegan and wanted to get as much information as possible I decided to check out a couple of the demo's. Ok, ok, truth be told I knew there would be free food, and I figured I could sample some yummies. One of the booths that gave talks and demo's was the Soy Foods …

Meatless Monday: Almond Flour 101
About two years ago I started getting digestion issues, heavy bloating when eating bread and similar products. Uncomfortable bloating with stomach pain and just a feeling of being general miserable. I spent about a year eliminating bread and wheat from my diet, and felt WAY better. Over the last year I've slowly reintroduced wheat and discovered that I can handle a little, but there is a limit. No gluten intolerance but definitely a wheat intolerance, it's something I have to limit to …
