About the Authors

H
i, were Darren & Georgie, and we used to be incredibly unhealthy, but
in 2012 we learned about the way animals are used in our society and
decided to become vegan.

As we started to learn and implement plantbased nutrition, we went through a


dramatic health transformation, with us both becoming sub-3 hour marathon
runners within three years and now we are even trying our hand at bodybuilding!

We believe that eating whole plant foods is the future because it is the only
sustainable diet for the planet and it also leaves us feeling light and full of
energy, while simultaneously keeping us lean and strong.

is best for all; planet, animals and people. We believe that by being shining
examples of health and fitness we can inspire others to go on and then inspire
more and more exponentially.

Thank you for becoming part of this journey with us and welcome to the tribe
of fit vegans!

Each recipe includes the macros and calories, but feel free to adjust the portion

cooking for one, freeze the other half so that you have handy ready-meals for

1 red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 cups passata
1/2 cup soya milk
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup avocado flesh, chopped

DIRECTIONS:
Begin by cooking the quinoa by following the packet instructions. If you are
serving this meal with steamed greens, then start to steam the greens also.
Next, in a medium to large saucepan, combine the beans, mushrooms, courgette,
pepper, passata, soya milk, garlic powder and cayenne pepper together.
Bring the passata sauce to the boil using a high heat and once the liquids begin
to bubble, reduce to a low heat and allow the ingredients to gently simmer in the
sauce until the beans are heated through and the vegetables are soft.
