Purifyne recipe: Red Cabbage and Smocked Mackerel

Purifyne detox is a valuable tool to improve your health and overall wellbeing. You can reduce your weight, improve complexion, reduce craving, improve sleeping pattern etc. Although our detox plans are the perfect spring board to starting a long-term, healthy and balanced diet, it is not the answer to ‘ever healthy you’ if your every day food choices consist of deep fried, high refined, ‘no fibre’ and vital nutrients foods.
Purifyne’s goal is to revolutionise your long-term relationship with food and your body. As you progress through your detox, your approach to food naturally changes and you make healthier food choices almost subconsciously.
With that in mind, we create our own Purifyne recipes which are quick and easy to prepare and, most importantly, they are delicious. We use fruit and vegetables that possess detoxifying qualities such as red cabbage, beetroot, carrots, broccoli, lemon etc. We combine them with foods that have vital nutrients for your body and mind (rather brain e.g. Mackerel, Tuna is high in Omega-3 etc.).

Purifyne recipe: Red Cabbage and Mackerel/Salmon/Tuna Salad – 1 portion
Vegetables and Smocked Mackerel:
• Red cabbage (handful), sliced in thin slices

• Raw (or cooked) beetroot (1 medium piece), sliced or chopped in small pieces

• Carrots (1 small piece), sliced in half and chopped in thin slices

• Red pepper (1/2 pepper), chopped in small pieces

• Raw broccoli (1 small branch), roughly chopped in small pieces

• Avocado (1/4 of big piece), roughly chopped in small pieces

• Smocked mackerel (1-2 medium pieces)

Seeds and Nuts:
• Seeds: handful of sunflower, hemp and brown linseeds

• Walnuts: 5-7 big halves crashed in small pieces

Sauces:

• Tamari sauce (for taste)

• Extra Virgin Oil (for taste)

Preparation (5-10min): Chop and mix the above vegetables together first and then add mackerel in a bowl. Drop some seeds/nuts and pour Olive Oil and Tamari sauce.

9 ways easy ways to add spring-fit food


1. Rye bread: Choose rye bread instead of white, brown or wholegrain when you make your sandwiches.

2. Spinach in pasta: Add to any pasta – it automatically reduces the portion of pasta you have on your plate. Spinach is a great source of iron (important for your energy levels).

3. Brown pasta: Go for brown pasta instead of white.

4. Watercress: Sprinkle watercress in powder wherever you can (oatcakes with a tablespoon of cottage cheese), great detoxifier and energiser.

5. Natural yogurt: Have some natural yogurt with a bit of honey, handful of strawberries, mango, apricots

6. Digestive mix: Take a teaspoon of “digestive mix” after each meal: great way of help your digestion.

7. Lamb’s liver: Swap traditional sausages mash with lamb’s liver and mash: liver is high in Iron, Vitamin A, B6 and B12.

8. Artichoke: Have some roasted artichoke. You can also squeeze lemon juice over them and have them baked.

9. Olives: Eating out? Order some olives instead of bread before your meal as they are great sources of monosaturated fat and vitamin E.

Success Story of the month: April

Nisha M., 29, HR, Aberdeen

“I am loving the juices and cannot believe that they have filled me up and not made me crave for any solid food. I am going to replicate a few juices in my routine after the programme is over as I love the flavours so much and the combinations really surprised me. I have also been making good progress as suggested in the guidelines”
