Best sources of vegan protein

Once you tell someone that you follow a vegan lifestyle, the first question you will get is 'but where do you get your protein from?'.

Huel Thai Green Curry

And so the testing continues! I have to admit I am so far very impressed at the variety of meals that are on offer with Huel.

Huel chicken and mushroom ready meal

As I have mentioned before I am trying to really focus on my fitness goals in 2023. This does mean eating a lot of the same foods day by day, week by week, so meals can get very boring very quickly.

Couch to 5k programme

I used to run all the time and I used to really enjoy it. But about 3 years ago it started to be more of a habit than an actual hobby. I was going to the gym to run for 25 minutes, purely so I could say that I had been for a run. My … Continue reading Couch to 5k programme
