I borrowed the brilliant book The Detox Kitchen Bible (by Lucy Simpson & Rob Hobson) from Haywards Heath Library on Friday and have been thumbing through all the recipes.

It’s a brilliant book as it’s simple and easy to follow and each recipe tells you exactly what nutrients are in it and what it’s good for. Here’s one I made last night and have now packed up for my lunch today to have with a green salad.

(My Tip…soften the vegetable in some oil in a frying pan and not in the over and as I found they didn’t soften as well in the oven, but if you like a bit of crunch then follow the recipe.  I also cooked mine in muffin cases as my tin wasn’t very non-stick!)

I think you can add any vegetables you like to these and for some extra protein and a bit of added flavour I put some Chorizo in and some tomatoes. You could add some mushrooms, spinach and bacon , smoked salmon, for a breakfast version and you can add some seeds for added vitamins and minerals.  You can also make these a sweet version by using berries instead!

Do let me know if you try these and what versions you’ve made, you can email me at Lisa@fitformoore.co.uk and I’ll share your recipes with everyone.
