''Leave your ' I don't have time' excuses at the door, with this 15 minute, start to finish, simple and tasty, sausage and egg Shakshouka. This high protein, high fibre dish, will leave you suprised with just how simple it was to make. A perfect meal for those busier days, or when you just can't be bothered. A meal perfect for 1 (giving you plenty of leftovers for meals the following day) or for a typical family of 4. I am convinced this will be another winner. Enjoy!''

Protein-rich Lemon Cheesecake

Adapted from Anita Bean's Vegetarian Athlete's Cookbook

                                            Practitioner comments:
​
''This cheesecake is a personal favourite of mine. Many more flavours can be experimented with this type of cheesecake e.g. blueberry, salted caramel and orange. The high protein content of this cheesecake makes it a great post-workout meal/snack to help with recovery. Depending on what ingredients you choose and the size of your slice will depend on how much protein you get. To increase protein content and for extra flavour, why not serve up with 0% fat free greek yoghurt and a handful of fresh berries?
 
I know you will enjoy this one - you can thank me later!''

Sticky Chicken

''Mmm sticky chicken....I can just taste it now....no seriously, I'm eating some leftovers whilst writing this, lol. Serious note, this meal is so tasty and can be whipped up quickly, with little prep and little fuss. Mostly about prepping like a boss and bunging it in the oven. I recommend this meal as a nourishing post exercise dish. Packed with complete proteins from the chicken, accompanied by the sweet taste of umm, sweet potato wedges ;-) and a side portion of micronutrient goodness e.g. seasoned mediterranean vegetables, you're on to a winner. A great all rounder dish and if you make extra, you can enjoy the next day too.

''After a recent conversation with an athlete regarding a newly released energy/protein bar, similar to the flavour in the video, it got my creative juices flowing so I took down some notes and got in the kitchen. The result, homemade, deliciously sweet and packed with energy - white chocolate and salted peanut protein bars. You don't get as much protein per bar as the one this recipe was inspired from, but the taste is incredible and believe me - these won't hurt the bank nearly as much!

I recommend that you freeze them once made and get out a few mins before consuming. Serve up with low kcal (or high ;-)) ice cream or greek yoghurt to increase protein intake to support muscle protein synthesis.

Chocolate Protein Mug Cake

                                           
 
 
 
                                          Practitioner comments:
 

''The key to this recipe is patience. Removing it from the microwave too early will leave it undercooked and runny, and too long will leave you with rock cake! When adding the ingredients, mix well to remove all lumps. Check on the mixture regularly. If you need additional protein to meet individual requirements, why not serve up with a tbsp of greek yoghurt.

Perfect to satisfy those sweet tooth cravings and doubling up as a pre-sleep/post-exercise recovery feed.''
