Cheers Ben. Here’s one I like: chipotle black beans. Fry a chopped up clove of garlic for a couple of mins, add a tin of rinsed organic black beans, fry for another few mins. Add 1 tbsp cider vinegar, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp chipotle paste, salt and pepper and fry for a few more mins. Can be eaten with rice or whatever grains you like or in a wrap with avocado, tomatoes, kale, red onion etc - so good!
My wife and I found your channel about the time you did Valencia and have been watching ever since. Your dedication and honesty is admirable and inspiring. My wife is doing Manchester but we are both recovering from COVID. I've also had plantar for the last few months. I know I will get back to running, it'll be a bit of a climb but watching your videos and seeing your runs helps with motivation and knowing that I'll get back to it. Perseverance and dedication. Thank you and take care.
Say YES to pickle on a jacket potato meal. Just lush. I have to say guys that as someone who earns a living from making TV programmes these are really coming on nicely. Well done to you both. And your running is pretty good too ;)
Just got back from a wet wellie walk with the kids, who took part in todays workout. Got home to the beautiful smell from the slow cooker, veggie stew with sweet potatos, carrots, celery, cauliflower, brocoli, onions and garlic and some extra herbs mixed in. We will add some lean lamb later when it's ready. Yum
I know this has been said but had to agree! I work somewhere that's often cold and salad doesn't quite do it so did the soup recipe today (excluding the Tofu) and it's been fantastic. Kept me full all afternoon, and I felt much better for having a warm lunch, thank you.
For my lunch, I usually have a salad with kale, spinach, cucumbers, fruit, chickpeas, sweet potato and quinoa. I also have a beet smoothie on the side❤❤❤
My main foods are Pasta dishes, potatoes ( potato soup mainly ) , beans on toast, Vegetable rice dishes...and of course bows of mixed fruits and custard..
love how you bulk out your meals to get in the extra nutrients. Some great tips that I will definitely be trying out :D that pesto pasta looked incredible!
I tired the tomato soup, tofu, kale and rice today. I liked it! I cook with whole foods, but I’m a very simple cook in terms of prep work, it has to be minimal - and that is absolutely in that zone. And it was nice. I’d never have thought of putting rice into tomato soup. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you for this Ben! I find I always spend either too much time making lunch or just grab something completely quick but unsatisfying. It all looks delicious and quick...and yes, I WAS wondering about your chopping skills, I figured you must have worked in a kitchen in your past life!
Thanks for the diet videos. Really helpful to get some new quick varieties with the recipies. Especially the pasta makes me drool. Keep up the good work!! Have you heard of the book "The proof is in the Plants" by Simon Hill? Lots of interesting and unbiased informations about nutrition. P.S. Looking forward to the arrival from your shop 😉
Thanks for these short food videos! As a vegan runner I'd been getting bored with my usual meals and then I'd get so hungry I'd just reach for plant-based junk food. These are quick, delicious, nutritious meals. Thanks for sharing!
They all look great but I think the pesto pasta might be my favourite. I also add chickpeas to almost everything 😁 it’s great to see no meat and dairy.
I'm going to try the falafel wrap this week! (And I'm probably going to use a meat cleaver to prepare it! 😆) Eating whole food plant based meals is something I'm always wanting to move towards, but it seems so difficult. That one looks especially easy and delicious!
Great video, I was even able to get my wife watching a running video - would be great if you and Sarah could do a similar one and then go out for a walk run together so my wife can catch the vision!
Great video and fantastic lunch ideas. :) Will definitely try these out as I'm always looking for something nutritious and quick to make after a lunchtime run before getting back to work and they look delicious!
And there I was thinking you were about to mount an assault on your endothelium cells with meat protein to the detriment of your training goals and boom not only are you plant based you’re packing in the greens, grains and whole plant protein. Massive respect to you guys
What kind of beans did you put on the sweet potatoes? Never would have thought about doing that, and now it’s all I thought about during my run because it looks amazing. Baked beans? Chili beans? Something you did from scratch?
Half a can is about 10% of recommended sugar for the day… (well says the NHS) so guess it depends how much other sugar you’re having in your daily diet. Or you can find low sugar versions.. or if it’s a concern then go with something else. We don’t have much sugar generally, so the positives outweigh the negatives.
I was expecting meat lunches here but as a vegan runner myself this is fantastic

Sounds lovely Sean.. thank you for sharing!!

Wishing you both a swift recovery and return to running very soon. Thank you for the kind message. See you at Manchester!

I'm naturally gifted at running. Never had to eat certain meals.. hydrate heavy or have special running shoes. Been running since 1995-current(2024).

Lunch is always the most tricky of meals for me so this is bang on point!!!
I always gong lunch tricky, some great ideas here, never thought of adding stuff to soup. Will def give these all a try!
I know this has been said but had to agree! I work somewhere that's often cold and salad doesn't quite do it so did the soup recipe today (excluding the Tofu) and it's been fantastic. Kept me full all afternoon, and I felt much better for having a warm lunch, thank you.
Avocado split in half with cottage cheese in the middle, with salt, pepper and olive oil. Very good post-run.
For my lunch, I usually have a salad with kale, spinach, cucumbers, fruit, chickpeas, sweet potato and quinoa. I also have a beet smoothie on the side❤❤❤
Great video. Could you make another one with snacks? Snacks between meals is where I struggle the most to find some easy and nutrition options
Yes.. will be doing dinners, then snacks!
My main foods are Pasta dishes, potatoes ( potato soup mainly ) , beans on toast, Vegetable rice dishes...and of course bows of mixed fruits and custard..

Glad you liked it John!! 😋
Love it, especially the falafel wrap and the mess. Bit like how I would do it. And the banter - “clear off while I eat this”. So funny
In terms of being healthy these meals definitely beat my burgers and pizzas!!! Love that majors t shirt you are rocking Ben - very nice!

I would happily demolish any of those!! My usual lunch is a big salad and just vary the protein type in the mix and add some grains on the side
I am in love with seitan, broccoli, green beans and artichokes. Dressed with some soy sauce it is incredibly good!

Branston pickle is life ✌🏻
Something else I needed to see! Great video as always!! Thank you!!
They all look great but I think the pesto pasta might be my favourite. I also add chickpeas to almost everything 😁 it’s great to see no meat and dairy.

Glad you liked it Kelly! Quick and easy to make.. let me know how you get on!
I laughed my way all through this video! Very entertaining, Ben! Good stuff :-)
Going to try the 1st and go from there
Great video Ben. Good ideas. Will try the second one the soup
Some great ideas. I'll be using them
Great video, I was even able to get my wife watching a running video - would be great if you and Sarah could do a similar one and then go out for a walk run together so my wife can catch the vision!
Great video Ben, but you did make me laugh, the smell of Falafel, reminds you of New York! It reminds me of Baghdad and Basra😂
Love this! Ready for part 2!
Thank you for video! Very helpful 😊
Great video and fantastic lunch ideas. :) Will definitely try these out as I'm always looking for something nutritious and quick to make after a lunchtime run before getting back to work and they look delicious!
So glad it helped Rachel!
This is great! Thank you!
This is exactly what i needed! Thanks for that👍
Great video Ben - going to try a falafel wrap tomorrow! Love the content from you and Sarah!
So just had the wraps - taste sensation! 10/10 loving your work! 👍🏼
Great new video style, it’s an old trend but would love to see you do a Draw My Life 😀
thank you Ben! Love your show!!
my favorite was the one with sweet potato!!
Mmmmm. More food tips, please! #4. Falafel.♥️
I always add marmite to my beans on toast sounds weird but It's lovely

Baked beans!
@@BenParkes thank you!
Hi Ben, sorry to bother you please could I ask if these are to serve 1 or 2. Keep up the great content!
Lutfisk on some rye-bread, with old cheese on top !
Pesto pasta became very quickly my favorite :)
I will be trying the first one out 🤤
Pesto pasta is my favourite, I could eat it everyday 😆
You can cook love your video's
My lunch time Cicken & Mushroom Pot Noodle doesn’t compete with this!
Ben, I think Sara should play “Gordon Ramsey” after each meal you prepare 😀
Hey I’m a runner for high school, I’m trying to lose weight for I can be faster. Any more ideas than this? The soup I tried and it was amazing
Never thought I would be tempted to go vegan but your vids make me want to eat all of this lunches 🤤
Good stuff. Are you vegetarian or vegan or eat it all. hard to tell sort of!
great stuff, ben! i feel guilty watching this after eating 2,500 calories of five guys :D and i think i like your soup best!
Well, I’m sure it tasted good at the time! We love the chips in there!
Sweet potato wedges 👍
Looks lovely, but mate...that bowl could kill someone if it slipped off that balcony 😂
Glad I'm not the only one who's useless at folding wraps
All vegan too! Amazing I didn’t realise you are vegan?
You know baked beans have a very high sugar content?!
Half a can is about 10% of recommended sugar for the day… (well says the NHS) so guess it depends how much other sugar you’re having in your daily diet. Or you can find low sugar versions.. or if it’s a concern then go with something else. We don’t have much sugar generally, so the positives outweigh the negatives.
Caps Lock, Ben 😉
Outside of anything else, these videos really show why you guys are looking for a bigger house. Not a lot of room in that kitchen
3rd
As an Italian guy, that pasta hurts my heart. Come round to Italy and you'll learn how to cook properly.
I like how we cook 😀 works for us
@@BenParkes International pasta! Wow!!
@@BenParkes I'm not sure @Pietro Lesca is dissing your cooking per se...more that any pasta from a packet to an Italian is sacrelige!!
Loving these food videos Ben. Thanks for sharing 👍
