🌱2 cup water

✴ Dumplings
🌱1.5 cup self raising flour

2. Add soy milk and golden syrup and mix well until it forms a smooth batter.

Which sport has the most vegan athletes? 🥦🏅

We teamed up with our friends at Great Vegan Athletes to see where veganism is the most prevalent.

The top contenders:

👉 Endurance sports (where recovery is king)
👉 Strength sports (breaking the animal protein myth)
👉 Martial arts & combat sports (fuelling precision & agility)

From ultra-marathoners like Harvey Lewis to world-class powerlifters like Sophia Ellis, elite athletes are ditching animal products for ethics AND a massive competitive edge:

✅ Accelerated recovery times
✅ Reduced inflammation
✅ Sustained energy

It’s no longer about whether you can compete as a vegan – it's about how much better you might perform because of it. 🌱🚀

Well done Luca!

Another Gold! Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's Luca Anacoreta has won the M2 Black belt division as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix comes to Bologna.

Luca has been vegan for ten years and has six IBJJF European titles and two FILA world titles.

He's now in his late 40s and says about going vegan "I wanted to change because it seemed like the most coherent thing to do, and I’ve never regretted it!”.

Vegan Chick'n & Rice Bowl drizzled in an agave-mustard dressing. 🌱
This is the 2nd recipe by our favourite sim-racer, Steven Carlile of ETHiX Racing Team, for the series.

The bowl is layered with baby spinach, fluffy rice, chewy soy curls, caramelised sweet potato & Brussels sprouts, all tied together with a bright agave-mustard drizzle.

It's a perfect power boost to maintain high-level focus over long racing sessions. Steven says, the recipe is "all about steady energy: slow‑burning carbs, high‑quality plant protein, and roasted veggies that keep you feeling grounded through every stint."

Go Team! 🏁🌱

Cut out processed foods for a few weeks, and you’ll be amazed how good healthy foods can taste.
When switching to a low-salt diet, for example, everything might taste like cardboard at first.

But research shows that over the next several weeks, taste buds adapt.

✅ Participants started preferring the taste of salt-free soup over salty versions.
✅ They added less salt themselves the longer they stayed on a low-salt diet.
✅ By the end of the study, soup tasted just as salty to them—even with half the amount of salt.

If you've ever been on a sodium-restricted diet, you know how salted foods can start tasting too salty. You just naturally start favoring less salty food.

A similar thing can happen with fat, too.
➔ The less fat we eat, the more sensitive to fat our taste buds appear to become, which may lead to spontaneous reductions in butter, meat, dairy, and eggs.

Salt may override this effect, so it may be helpful to cut down on fat and salt simultaneously.

There is a brain component to this, too.
➔ People who regularly eat ice cream (which contains sugar and fat) have a dulled dopamine response when drinking a milkshake. Once we’ve dulled our dopamine response, we may then overeat in an effort to achieve the degree of satisfaction previously experienced.
➔ In contrast, diets rich in whole plant foods don’t lead to a deadened dopamine response––even with the same number of calories. So, they help us achieve natural satisfaction without overeating.

The longer we eat healthier, whole foods, the better they taste. Don’t believe us? Go ahead and put it to the test!
