Recipe from THE VEGAN ATHLETE'S COOKBOOK. These tasty bars made with vegan protein powder are ideal recovery snacks. Each bar supplies 10g protein, plus plenty of fibre, B vitamins, vitamin E, calcium and magnesium. Wrap individually in film or foil and pop in your kit bag. You can swap the almond butter for your favourite...

This is one of the tastiest cakes I’ve eaten. Loaded with pistachios, it has a lovely green hue and subtle nutty flavour. The addition of olive oil gives it a wonderfully moist texture and makes it lower in saturated fat, ie better for you, than conventional cakes. The frosting makes it extra delicious – but...
