Thrive On Five (ePub)

We all know we need to eat our five-a-day, but sometimes it is hard to fit them all in. No longer. Fifty of the recipes in this book - including soups, salads and curries and spice - contain all your five-a-day in just one dish. We now all know that five-a-day is, in fact, a minimum, and we should try to eat more. So the other 36 recipes concentrate on how to top yourself up to seven or even 10-a-day, with delicious smoothies, cakes, puddings and snacks. There's also a section on children's food, to start them off on the right track for a long and healthy life. All the recipes are easy and inexpensive to make. Whether you love curries and spice, traditional British food, or exciting and filling modern salads and soups, there's something here for you. Indulge in a Goan aubergine and sweet potato curry; discover how to make a pasta sauce that contains your five-a-day; or snack on cucumber maki with red pepper houmous. I bet you didn't think a chocolate and chilli ganache could provide two of your five-a-day, but it can! Whether your goal is simply to eat your five-a-day more often, or you're trying to lose weight, or are following any number of diets - 5:2, low fat, low carbohydrate, vegetarian, vegan - this book has plenty for you. There is also a meal planner that shows how to use the book's recipes to include five, seven or 10-a-day in your diet.
