Breakfast – Veggie Runners

Vegan Protein Pancakes

Image: Zsolt Sandor / MothershipUK Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, Mardi Gras – it’s time to fatten yourself up before the privations of Lent, if you happen to believe in such things. I didn’t turn out to be quite the good Catholic girl my dear, departed father hoped for but I do still give something up every...

Vegan Pancakes

Everybody loves pancakes, right? These are quick and easy to make – fab as a healthy breakfast with fruit and yoghurt and great with peanut butter and/or jam for marginally less healthy start to the day! It’s Shrove Tuesday today – aka Pancake Tuesday (aka Day of Joy on a Plate!) but you can eat...

Ginger Granola with Quinoa Crunchies

Bibi Rodgers — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 16:13:08 +0000

People who make their own granola have a certain reputation for being smug. And, you know what? The smugness is totally earned. In between playing with my new kittens yesterday afternoon (after my trail race and before triathlon swim training!) I managed to make 2 full batches of granola with very little effort at all....

Banana and Walnut Pancakes

Bibi Rodgers — Sun, 29 Sep 2013 09:40:08 +0000

I did it! While mum had some fantastic company, drinks stations and CAKE after her 22-mile training run last weekend, I knew I emphatically would not for mine. I anticipated my longest run before the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon being a bit of a slog all by myself, but it actually turned out to be a...

Quinoa Porridge

Bibi Rodgers — Sat, 25 May 2013 09:37:13 +0000

One of our lovely twitter followers suggested this breakfast dish and it’s been at the back of my mind ever since. We are big fans of quinoa, loving its blend of protein, iron and micronutrients. The UN like it so much they’ve named 2013 ‘International Year of Quinoa’ – pretty high accolade for such a...

Vegetarian Kedgeree with Smoked Tofu

Jayne Rodgers — Tue, 14 May 2013 15:08:42 +0000

Training can be hard work but it also provides a great excuse to get creative with tasty, runner- friendly dinners, such as this vegetarian twist on a classic kedgeree. Traditional kedgeree uses smoked fish. Traditional vegetarian kedgeree doesn’t used smoked anything. Upshot? Vegetarian kedgeree is usually rubbish. Sad but true. Not this time, though! No, no,...

Orange and Earl Grey Winter Fruit Salad

Jayne Rodgers — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:49:57 +0000

This Orange and Earl Grey Winter Fruit Salad is easy and economical but it tastes like a million dollars. If a million dollars were delicious, which it is probably not, unless you have a very vivid imagination and/or fruit for money. But you know what we mean. It’s multi-talented too and can be served in a whole...

Huevos Rancheros

Bibi Rodgers — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:25:43 +0000

A protein-rich brunch is the perfect treat for after a long Sunday run. When Mum and I lived in Victoria, Canada, we took fantastic brunch for granted. We’d nip down to Lady Marmalade, Pagliacci’s or Rebar any time we fancied*. We didn’t know how spoiled we were! While there is some brunching in the UK, it’s not...

Our marvellous breakfast muffins are that rare breakfast treat that you can make the night before. I took a basic...

Mushroom and Sweet Potato Frittata

Jayne Rodgers — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 06:00:51 +0000

It being Better Breakfast Week in the UK, and maybe elsewhere in the world too, the best meal of the day has been on our minds a great deal. In truth, breakfast is on our minds a lot. We never go to bed without making sure that we have something good ready for breakfast in...
