Meet my breakfast. 
A high protein, high fat, low carb, delicious way I break my fast each day. I’d estimate about 60g of protein and 18 different plants (spices count) which is at least half what I need for my training schedule and body weight!) Full of healthy fats too and plant vitamins, minerals and high fibre goodness. Tim Spector and the Zoe nutrition lot reckon we should be aiming for 30 different plant foods a week. Well this breakfast helps me meet over half that, and add in my fruit, vegetables, spices and pulses later in the day and I reckon I might meet this each day! Diversity is key for gut health. A little of lots of different plants will feed the different microbes responsible for keeping our gut happy, so mix it up and pile on the plants! I have a lot of stuff In my store cupboard but you can of course switch it up to suit you! My breakfast - ingredients! Home made Soya Milk Kefir (fermented yoghurt) Gooseberry powder (Amla) Ground Ginger Ground cloves Ground cinnamon Ground nutmeg Beetroot powder Chia seeds Pumpkin seeds Sunflower seeds Sesame seeds Ground Linseeds Oat Bran Almonds Brazil Nuts Walnuts Raspberries Blueberries Grapes Or whatever fruit I have around fresh or frozen Scoop of Vegan Protein powder Have fun and most of all enjoy! Food should be tasty and this definitely is!

I just LOVE hummus! I make my own using fresh soaked and boiled chick peas but you can use tinned of course Ingredients (for a big double batch) - you can halve it! 2 tins (or equivalent fresh) chick peas The juice of 1 or 2 lemons (to taste) 2 tbs Tahini (to taste) 2 cloves of garlic (optional) 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1-2 scant tsp of salt thin with more lemon, olive oil, chick pea water or water Just blend it up and ENJOY!

TOP TIP - Chick peas! I love chick peas and hummus. Tinned ones are great and convenient but the dried ones are much cheaper and they have a better texture and taste. But they do take a little more prep. I batch soak, cook and freeze them by laying the cooked chick peas on a baking tray and freeze for an hour, then pop them in a bag and use them like frozen peas so you don't need to soak and cook them everytime! Please share your favourite chick pea recipes!

Kefir (fermented yoghurt) is cheap and easy to make and is SO good for your health as well as being delicious. Here I make it with soy milk but the kefir grains do need to be fed cows milk to thrive, so make sure you do a cows milk kefir every few times you make it if you are vegan. I have some spare grains to give people if you want some and live local, otherwise you can buy them on the internet Happy fermenting!
