REVITALISE BERRY AND SEED SALAD

BERRY AND SEED SALAD

REVITALISE BERRY AND SEED SALAD

 

Start your morning off with a Revitalise Berry and Seed Salad.

Gaining some anti-oxidants from the berries and healthy fats from the seeds, you can also add some pro-biotic by adding some natural greek yoghurt for a more filing breakfast.

Also a combination of carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats.

And according to the Daily Mail, Berries are very good for you 

 

This is just one of the healthy, delicious breakfasts you can have on my Revitalise programme.

ONE PAN SUMMER EGGS

One-pan summer eggs

 

I found this recipe on BBC Good Food

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/7013/onepan-summer-eggs

 

 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 400g courgettes (about 2 large ones), chopped into small chunks
  • 200g/7oz pack cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 eggs
  • few basil leaves, to serve

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then add the courgettes. Fry for 5 mins, stirring every so often until they start to soften, add the tomatoes and garlic, then cook for a few mins more. Stir in a little seasoning, then make two gaps in the mix and crack in the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid or a sheet of foil, then cook for 2-3 mins until the eggs are done to your liking. Scatter over a few basil leaves and serve with crusty bread.

 

DAVINA’S STYLE

This dish could be made with a choice of vegetables.  I chose courgette, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach.  You could also add sweet potato and red onion.

 

 

  • coconut oil
  • courgette
  • cherry tomatoes
  • mushrooms
  • spinach
  • 2 eggs
  • clove of garlic

 

Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan, then add the courgettes and mushrooms and fry until they start to soften, add the tomatoes and garlic, then cook for a few mins more, add the spinach. Stir in a little seasoning, then make two gaps in the mix and crack in the eggs and cook to your liking.

With all the vegetables there is no need to have bread unless you really feel the need.

NUTRITIOUS SOUP

IMG_0669

This soup I found in one of Patrick Holford’s books.

Patrick designed this soup to help his wife get over a virus.  It is now a renowned health tonic by his readers!  It is incredibly rich in vitamin E and beta-carotine as well as anti-inflamatories from onion, garlic, ginger and tumeric.  The coconut milk is a saturated fat which is not stored as fat in the body but used as energy.

I like it because it is very quick to cook and extremely nutritious!

I changed this recipe slightly by adding a whole chilli to give it an extra kick and speed up the metabolism.   Adding red lentils to give it that extra protein.  You could add chicken too. Adding courgette because I had one to use in the fridge.   Soups are always a good way to use up any vegetables you may have.

Serves 2-3

1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil

½ red onion, roughly chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 large carrot or 2 small-mediums ones, peeled and chopped

1 large sweet potato or 2 small-mediums ones, peeled and chopped to the same size as the carrot to ensure even cooking

1 heaped tsp grated fresh root ginger

¼ tsp turmeric

2 tsp Marigold reduced salt vegetable bouillion powder

1 red pepper, diced

75ml (2 fl oz) coconut milk

1.    Heat oil in pan and gently sauté onion and garlic for a few minutes.

2.    Add carrot, sweet potato, ginger, turmeric and bouillon powder and just  cover with boiling water and bring to the boil.

3.     Cover and simmer for 15 minutes

4.    Add red pepper and coconut milk, then blend until smooth.

This recipe is one of many that can be found in my 6 week online diet and tone programme.
