At least the half eaten and well licked piece of toast I called my breakfast was DELICIOUS. Probs not the @pipandnut ads youre used to, but we all enjoy our foods in different ways 😂 I am very proud of this partnership though, I have been a HUGE fan and long term customer of Pip & Nut forever, as a family we get through so much nut butter and buy the snack bars a lot, and so when they asked me to create a video with them, showcasing a ‘realistic run’, I felt that it was really important that I provided the context - the scraps, the sweat, the rush, because that is what finding the time to workout looks like for a lot of us. We’re on the go and running around and eating on the move - that’s actually where these bars really shine, they’re packed full of oats and nut butter so whether you’re taking it on the run itself or keeping one in your bag for later, they’re a great antidote to the inevitable pang of hunger you feel as soon as you sit down. Thank you @pipandnut for keeping me fed, and for helping me keep it real <3 love ya!

It’s Episode 3 of ‘The Pip Stop’ & @calumharris is back getting nosy with joggers/ sprinters/ runners/ triers, to find out what makes them put their trainers on again & again.
Half marathon. Full marathon. Quarter marathon. Whatever it is there’s one common denominator: fuel.
Specifically fuelling your body. & that’s our speciality.
This salmon and soba noodle bowl has starchy carbs for glycogen, protein and lots of plant points to keep your body fueled for longer.
Ingredients
For the salmon
1 salmon fillet
Black sesame seeds
White sesame seeds
For the sauce
1tbsp smooth peanut butter
1tsp soy sauce
1tsp sesame oil
1tbsp honey
Half a lime, squeezed
To serve
1 serving of soba noodles
1 sweet potato
Cucumber, thinly sliced
Handful of black sesame seeds
Lime juice
Spring onions
Handful of Tenderstem brocolli
Method
Chop your sweet potato up into small cubes, drizzle with sesame oil and pop into the oven for 30 minutes until soft and slightly golden.
Mix all of your sauce ingredients together into a bowl until combined. If a little thick add water slowly until desired consistency.
Combine white and black sesame seeds onto a plate then lay your salmon skin side down in the mixture. Once covered in the sesame seeds transfer to a cold pan. Put the heat on medium and let the salmon cook for 8-10 minutes until it’s almost cooked through. Flip and cook on the other side for 2 minutes then take off the heat.
Add to your bowl with the sweet potato, soba noodles, tenderstem, spring onions and cucumber salad.

if you’re feeling any type of way try smacking a cucumber with a rolling pin, its great. & served with creamy satay chickpeas make it even great-er?
Ingredients
For the chickpea satay
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tbsp smooth peanut butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
100ml coconut milk
Splash of water (to loosen if needed)
For the smacked cucumber salad
1 large cucumber
1 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp chilli oi
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Method
Place the cucumber on a chopping board and gently smash it using a rolling pin or the side of a knife until it cracks open. Tear into bite-sized chunks. Sprinkle with salt and leave for 5-10 minutes to draw out moisture. Mix with the rest of the smacked cucumber salad ingredients. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and set aside.
Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chickpeas and fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly golden. Stir in the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey and coconut milk. Simmer for 10 minutes until thick and creamy. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
Spoon the chickpea satay onto a large plate or shallow bowl. Pile the smacked cucumber salad on top.
POV DINNER: CHICKEN MEATBALLS & SPICY PEANUT SAUCE 🐔🥜🌿
Follow me as I make chicken meatballs with sushi rice, broth, fresh peas, wild garlic and a delicious spicy peanut sauce using @pipandnut dark roast crunchy peanut butter. Seriously good. I love the darker roast butter for recipes like this, it adds texture and a deeper, more complex flavour to sauces and dips.

200g Sushi Rice
1 Shallot
50g Ginger
2 Garlic Cloves
400g Chicken Mince
80g Dried Breadcrumb
1 Thai Chilli
Handful of Wild Garlic
2-3 Tbsp Dark Roast Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 Tsp Soy Sauce
1 Lime
80g Frozen Peas
Splash of stock (Optional)
Fine Sea Salt
