Ok so I'm really not one of these protein gym wankers who get their protein shakers out at work (you know who you are lads). The one thing that everyone loves to joke about now that I'm vegan is "But where do you get your protein from?" EVERYWHERE IDIOTS. I do subscribe to eating protein … Continue reading SMOOTHIE: Protein smoothie
If there's one thing that will stop me in my tracks, it is the words "vegan pancakes". Seriously, no matter what I am up to, who I'm talking to, if I hear those words I loose track of what I'm doing and drift off into a world of fluffy pancakes... wait, what was I saying? … Continue reading REVIEW: The Herbivore Kitchen, Edinburgh

I absolutely love a muffin for breakfast but there's no way in hell I could eat them all the time, it's also very hard to buy a gluten free muffin that's also dairy free so I did some research and adapted a Jamie Oliver recipe for butternut squash muffins.

So I shared a photograph of my pre-run (that's right, I'm attempting to get back into running) breakfast on Instagram is morning, coffee with hazelnut milk and a questionably coloured smoothie.
