Dear SJ readers: please don’t hate me for what I am about to tell you. A few weeks ago, after a lot of thought and practise runs in my head, I ‘came out’ to my family. I chose a good moment in the evening—quiet, relaxed, after my dad had finished bottling his home-made wine and (very unusually) didn’t seem to …

I think if you scroll through the recipe articles we have here on Supplement Judge, you’ll begin to see a theme emerging: breakfast. I am obsessed (obsessed, I say) with breakfast foods. And if eggs are the king of breakfast foods, then oats are the beautiful queen. Oats are fabulous things. Oatmeal is a great source of dietary fibre: half soluble …

So, you like to carve lanterns out of them every year and drink ‘pumpkin’ spiced lattes to get in that autumnal mood – but have you ever considered how great pumpkin can be as a health food? That’s right folks: this is one root vegetable that’s not only right at the heart of your autumn lifestyle agenda, but that’s actually …

Hands up: who else has a problem with how bloody expensive it is to care about aesthetics? While a Dairy Milk or a Mars Bar are, what, 70p these days? And then you’d be lucky to buy a single protein bar for less than two quid. It’s madness.  So I propose a solution, ladies and gents: let’s do it Blue …

If like me you have hectic mornings and struggle to find the time to prepare breakfast then I think this might be the thing for you. Normally, for breakfast I would have a bowl of porridge (oatmeal), a protein shake, a banana and a cup of coffee. But when it’s 06:30 and you’re already running late, preparing all of that …

Welp, I’ve gotta admit it: I have the most insatiable sweet tooth of anyone I know. I have been known to ingest entire tubes of Oreos, whole bags of pick ‘n mix … I don’t just do one cookie, or one chocolate. Oh no. However, the nutritional value of all my favourite sweet treats is non-existent. It’s just calories on …

Ladies and gentlemen – let’s talk about eggs. Don’t worry, I’m not going to bore you with tired puns and quips about chickens and the like, I just want to get down to business – that is, I want to tell you just how fantastic eggs are. Y’know, if you weren’t already aware. Eggs are great. They’re full of protein …

I was going to introduce this post with a little blurb about comfort food and how we all need a little bit of carb-y/cheesey/meaty/homely goodness in our lives ‘every now and then’. But then I stopped myself – why should eating ‘proper’ food (i.e. the stuff your mum served up on weeknights after one of those hectic primary-school days of …

Tired of having the same protein shake every day? Well today we have an exciting new recipe which I saw a friend of mine try and tasted absolutely delicious! It’s a protein yoghurt snack which tasted heavenly. Enjoy, and let me know what you think 🙂 I used it with chocolate whey, but feel free to try it with other …

#gymproblem no. 28589: chugging the same-old post-workout protein shake gets a little boring after a while. Know that feel? Then again, maybe you’re looking for new ways to add some extra protein to your diet – or, y’know, you just like food. Whatever your reason for reading this piece, I hope it results in a satisfied tum or two. Because …
