Big run or gym session lined up for tomorrow? Give yourself the best possible start by making this “Magic Chilli” recipe, named so for its mood and energy-boosting properties. It’s packed with magnesium, a mineral thought to improve exercise performance, as well as selenium – the edible endorphin producer!

If you’re looking for a healthy dinner or lunch to have before a run or strength training session, look no further. This vegan chilli is quick, simple and bursting with nutrients that’ll have you energised and ready to work hard.

“I call this ‘Magic Chilli’ because it is the ultimate mood-boosting dish, instantly bringing positive vibes to everyone who eats it,” explains the recipe’s creator, cook Gemma Ogston (author of The Self-Care Cook Book). “Rich in selenium to encourage all those feel-good endorphins, along with beans which are rich in iron and magnesium to help reduce tiredness, this is my go-to dish for ultimate vitality.” The beans are also high in plant protein while the brown rice is high in fibre “which looks after your gut”.
