High-protein Indian food: building muscle without compromising flavour

If you're focused on fitness, lifting weights, or just trying to hit your daily macros, high-protein Indian food might not be the first thing that comes to mind — but it absolutely should be.


Packed with legumes, lentils, whole grains, and versatile vegetarian proteins like paneer and tofu, Indian cuisine offers plenty of smart ways to fuel your body and build muscle with protein — without resorting to grilled chicken and plain rice every day.


Food has a way of keeping us grounded — part of our daily routine, but also something deeper. It brings comfort, culture, and connection into our lives, no matter where we are. From a home-cooked sabzi to a shared recipe passed between friends, the right meal can bring people closer — and sometimes even spark a moment of support, celebration, or care that stretches across borders.

Nothing Tastes Like Home: Why Mexican Food Means So Much When You're Far Away

Nothing Tastes Like Home: Why Mexican Food Means So Much When You're Far Away

Home isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. And sometimes, it’s a plate of tacos, a bowl of pozole, or the scent of freshly made tortillas that brings that feeling rushing back. When you move abroad, you know you’ll miss your family and friends... but no one tells you how much you'll crave the simple joy of your favorite dish.


At Paysend, we know how powerful those connections are. Whether it’s a comforting meal or sending money back home to support the people you love, it’s the small things that keep you close — no matter the distance. That’s why we make
international money transfers simple, fast and affordable, so you can stay connected to the traditions (and the people) that matter most.


There’s something truly special about Mexican food — the flavor, the ritual, the memories. Even if you’ve emigrated to New York — with its global cuisine and endless dining options — nothing compares to the real taste of home. Sure, you might find a decent taco truck or even a mole on the menu, but unless you’re home, it’s never quite the same. And if you’ve got dietary restrictions? You’ll be happy to know that many traditional dishes are naturally wheat-free — so finding Mexican food that is gluten free isn’t as hard as it sounds.

From Ballads to Bank Transfers: Why Eurovision and International Connections Still Steal the Show

From Ballads to Bank Transfers: Why Eurovision and International Connections Still Steal the Show

While you dust off your Eurovision 2024 scorecard to check how the countries ranked, one thing’s for sure: Eurovision continues to bring people together like no other event. Whether you're comparing the wildest outfits or rewatching your favorites on YouTube, the Eurovision Song Contest is a yearly celebration of unity, sequins, and sometimes… surprisingly catchy tunes.


Every May, Europe turns up the volume, grabs the glitter, and settles in for one of the continent’s most iconic traditions: Eurovision. Since 1956, the contest has been bringing together countries from across Europe – and beyond – to celebrate music, culture, and a little friendly competition.


But Eurovision is about more than just key changes and pyrotechnics. It’s about connection. Families and friends cheering for their home country from opposite sides of the globe. Expats tuning in from afar. A shared moment that brings people closer, wherever they live.


Sound familiar? We think so too.

Mexican food that is gluten free: bold flavours, no gluten needed

If you’re living gluten-free — whether due to coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or simply personal choice — Mexican food might just be your new best friend. Gluten-free Mexican food includes traditional dishes made with corn-based ingredients like corn tortillas (not flour ones), tamales, rice, beans, grilled meats, fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked stews. When made with care and authentic ingredients, many Mexican dishes are naturally gluten-free and packed with bold, vibrant flavour.
