COOK MACEWAN.. I wanted to give some recipes that include Bioflavonoid’s and dishes that are suitable for eating on the move and that are quick to prepare . We were introduced to the thought that we should take Bioflavonoid’s supplements by Dr Karen Herbst at our Big Meet recently. Bioflavonoid’s are super-antioxidants and are found in many natural foods like Red Peppers or Sweet Peppers, Strawberries, Citrus Fruits, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts Tropical Fruits (Mangoes and Papayas) Garlic, Spinach, Teas.'

RED PEPPER AND CHORIZO PRONTO
A great quick lunch or Tea. I sometimes do a cold version for my lunch box. My sons used to love Chorizo too so this was always a family favourite for Tea mixed with Pasta for them of course.
Serves 1
1 fennel bulb
1 small onion
1 small red pepper
50gm chorizo sausage ( you can buy two types I preferred the cooked version as I can use it in salads as well)
50gm manchengo cheese
Method
• Slice fennel, onion and red pepper finely
• Cut chorizo into chunks
• Cut manchego cheese into chunks
• Fry the sliced fennel, onion and red pepper in a little Olive Oil and butter until softened and golden
• Add chorizo to pan, stir and fry until the sausage is heated through
• Sprinkle over the manchego cheese and allow to melt in the pan
Serve immediately or cool for a lunch box
STRAWBERRY AND VANILLA SMOOTHIE
This a good breakfast option or as treat throughout the day (carries well in a thermos flask for breakfast on the move)
Makes 1
240ml of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
75gms of fresh strawberries ( I sometimes use frozen here )
½ teaspoon of cinnamon. (cinnamon is great for controlling blood sugars)
1 tablespoon of flaked almonds
1 teaspoon of chia seeds (the new super food you will find them in wholefood shops. They also balance blood sugar and are a good source of Omega 3 oil too ).
Method
• Put everything in the blender and blitz!!!! till smooth.
