Pancakes are always great, especially following a nice long run on the weekend. There are super easy and quick to make. In this recipe, I have added banana to the pancake batter, but you can also swap it for other fruits, such as mixed berries or mango, or even combine these with the banana. Also, make sure to add chia seeds to help thicken up the texture and some almond milk to improve the flavor and texture.

I really like these energy balls, as they are not only great for a small snack during the day, but also serve as a great energy source during long runs or hikes. This recipe is similar to the peanut butter energy balls, but made of a date-free base. Instead of dates, I have used mango and apricot as a base, mixed with coconut, cashew butter and roasted cashews, which makes them taste really indulgent, with the lime zest adding a refreshing taste to it.

The cake is a hit for celebration or dinner party, as it does not only look beautiful, but also tastes incredibly good. While the preparation requires a bit of time, it is pretty straightforward to make. It is the perfect dessert to share with friends, and to impress your family or girlfriend. The date and almond base is my favorite part of the whole cake, which is sweet with a lovely chewy texture, and goes so well with the creamy cashew and berry layers on top.

Visit your local supermarket and you will find a refrigerated aisle overflowing with choice: almond milk, hazelnut milk, peanut, tiger nut, walnut, cashew, as well as coconut, hemp, spelt, quinoa, pea, and many more. Metro stations from Ney York City to London are filled with ads for new plant mylks (EU law prevents dairy alternatives from using the word milk if it is not produced by a lactating mammal) and cookbooks dedicate entire chapters to blending and straining your own.
