There is no doubt that I love eating, and running helps me maintain a healthy weight. So I am going to build up a portfolio of recipes that I make and adapt myself. Try this for starters:

Peanuts are actually healthy despite what some may think. They do not contain any cholesterol, are 25 per cent protein, contain vitamin E, which is good for circulation, and B vitamins. They have a low GI rating so energy is released slowly, and although it contains oil it is a good souce of fibre helping to keep blood fats and guts moving. Try the recipe below, it has been adapted from two differrent receipes found on the internet, this contains a mixture of honey and syrup for a lovely sweet textured peanut flapjack.
