    About this ebook

    Congratulations! You have taken the decision to detox your body, to maintain healthy eating habits, to sustain healthy weight loss, but like me you may have found it difficult to keep motivated when faced with the dietary limitations. However, help is at hand. Yes! food can be healthy, delicious AND satisfying, using fish, nuts, vegetables, fruit, legumes and seeds. The Detox Maintenance Recipe Collection has 130 recipes for Breakfasts, Soups, Dips and Starters, Fish and Seafood, Vegetarian Entrées and Side Dishes, Salads, Dressings, Sauces and Marinades, and Desserts, and was written for you, and for all of us who have adopted a healthy eating life style. Because of your detox, you are looking fabulous.... have lost a lot of weight.... are feeling wonderful.... and want to maintain all that hard-won glow of fitness and health. But how are you going to find enough variety of flavours and tastes to avoid regressing to your old eating habits? This collection includes 130 recipes without using wheat, eggs, meat, chicken, sugar or dairy*, solving your"I need appetizing and nutritious food" problem with delicious, healthy-eating recipes for every occasion, while keeping within the detox limitations. As well as the recipes, there is a list of 80+ "Super-Foods" with their Nutritional Properties so you can check out the value of the ingredients of each recipe, and some handy Cook's Tips to save time and effort.
    Caring for yourself is your most important responsibility, both to yourself and your loved ones. If you are good at keeping secrets, I ask you not to keep this one. Share the news of this book so it is no longer a secret to those suffering bland, tasteless food while trying to maintain a healthy body.
    (*Dairy is used in its generally understood meaning i.e. cow's milk products. There are recipes that include goat's and sheep's milk, cheese and yogurt)

    A Personal Note from the Author
    Last year I lost 10 kilos or more than 20 pounds following a detox diet. When I was looking for recipes to support the diet, I was frustrated by the lack of variety and tastes that seemed to be available while keeping within the detox limitations. During my journey to discover how to make healthy food taste great, excite the palate and maintain the detox lifestyle, I collected recipes from around the world, and can now deliver them to you for your enjoyment, health and well-being.

      Detox Maintenance Recipe Collection - 130 Recipes From Around The World - Elizabeth Arnott

      Terms of Use

      Calorific values have not been included, because by keeping to super-food ingredients, it is not necessary to count calories. The Author acknowledges the sources of recipes she has been privileged to discover, including recipes from friends and family, well-known classic recipes, ideas from the internet, and recipes inspired by travelling the world and tasting everything. All recipes have been tried, tested and adapted until the Author believes them worthy of inclusion in this collection.

      Because she knows that adding salt to your diet is not recommended, while insipid tasting food doesn't help with motivation, the author suggests you use common sense - add seasoning where you feel it would be tasteless without. Many of the recipes have herbs and spices that will definitely liven up the flavour, so you can keep the salt down to a minimum.

      Introduction

      Congratulations! You have completed your detox programme.... are looking fabulous.... have lost a lot of weight.... are feeling wonderful.... and want to maintain all that hard-won glow of fitness and health.....

      Or maybe your doctor has advised you to avoid wheat and dairy.....

      Or perhaps you have taken the decision to adopt a detox maintenance lifestyle.....

      But how are you going to find enough variety of flavours and tastes to avoid regressing to your old eating habits?

      Many people believe that life without bread, cheese, meat, coffee, chocolate or wine is not worth living. I hope to change your mind, and inspire you to keep to super-food ingredients, occasionally allowing yourself a little lapse, as a special treat.

      As I see it, detox means to eliminate harmful toxins from your body. The natural way to do this is to avoid wheat, dairy, meat and sugar. Detox Maintenance Lifestyle means to eat natural, healthy super-food ingredients such as fish, vegetables, legumes or pulses, seeds and fruit.

      The "Detox Maintenance Recipe Collection" is designed to help you keep the feel-good factor of living a detox maintenance lifestyle. None of these recipes uses wheat, eggs, meat, chicken, dairy*, sugar, chocolate or coffee. Every recipe is sure to delight your taste buds, and can be enjoyed by everyone, whether they are on a Detox Maintenance programme or not. Listed ingredients, and step-by-step methods and timings, for tried and tested recipes to inspire and motivate you. Recipes from around the world - Europe, America, India, Thailand, Morocco, Argentina and Mexico, for every occasion.

      *I use the word dairy as it is generally understood, i.e. cow’s milk products. I have included goat’s and sheep’s milk, cheese and yogurt.

      Detox Diet Plan - how to maintain a detox lifestyle - guidelines for your daily eating programme:

      Drink a cup of hot water with lemon juice first thing every morning. Include at least one of the following super-super-foods every day (beetroot, blueberries, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, fennel, garlic, grapes, honey, onions, spinach, tomatoes, watercress), have one portion of brown rice, three portions each of vegetables, raw fruit, and salad, at least one portion of non-dairy cheese or yogurt, and two portions of any of the following - fish, herbs, nuts, olive oil, pulses (legumes). In this way you are covered - with sufficient nutrients, vitamins and minerals to maintain your healthy, glowing body. Every recipe in this book conforms to these guidelines, giving you plenty of choice for different styles of dishes for every occasion. I listed 80+ Super-Foods and their Nutritional Properties at the back of this book, giving you a huge variety of ingredients to choose from, so you can check out the health benefits of each recipe

      Before we even get started....

      I have a little secret for you, for when you are using your kindle or iPad in the kitchen. So that you can refer to it, turn the pages, go back and forth between recipes, etc. without risking splashes and grease or having to constantly wash your hands, just slip it into a ziplock plastic bag. Easy to manage, easy to read the recipe, and completely safe from potential damage.

      Chapter 1: Breakfasts

      Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is essential not to skip breakfast, as your body has been without food since the previous night, and if you do not give it food it will go into panic mode, and store fat against the imminent threat of starvation! Begin your day with a cup of hot water with the juice of a lemon, which will detoxify and cleanse your system.

      Appetizing Chia Breakfast

      Chia seed’s high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids and calcium and iron rich nutrients give a protein breakfast that will keep you satisfied until lunch-time. They have a slightly sweet and delicate flavour. Coconut oil is known as a miracle food because it is nature's richest source of lauric acid that has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. This recipe uses store-cupboard ingredients with some fresh seasonal fruit.

      Time: 15 minutes soaking time

      Serves 2

      Ingredients:

      4 tbspn chia seeds

      2 tbspn raisins

      2 tbspn dried cranberries

      2 cups (450ml) almond milk

      1 tbspn coconut oil

      seasonal fresh fruit

      a few almonds

      Method:

      1. Soak the chia seeds, raisins and cranberries in the almond milk and coconut oil for about 15 minutes until they are swollen and soft

      2. Add the almonds and fruit and serve immediately

      Cook’s tips:

      *There are various grades of chia seeds. It is best to look for them in the health food shop, and make sure they are organic to ensure the best quality

      *Use seasonal organic fruit for the best tasting and health-giving results. You could also add seeds like pumpkin and sesame for an extra protein boost

      Banana and Red Fruit Breakfast Smoothie

      A banana and red fruit smoothie to set you up for the day. This is an ideal breakfast drink. Just the colour alone promises how healthy and nutritious it is

      Time: 5 minutes

      Serves 2

      Ingredients:

      2 small ripe bananas

      10 oz (280g) fresh or frozen red berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)

      chilled apple juice or mineral water (optional)

      honey

      Garnish:

      A few pieces of fruit left whole

      Method:

      1. Slice the bananas into the blender, add the berries and blend until smooth

      2. While still blending, gradually add the juice or water until it reaches your preferred consistency

      3. Serve with a few pieces of fruit on top, and a little honey

      Cook’s tip:

      Adding a frozen ingredient to the smoothie makes it cold, so maybe you could combine fresh and frozen fruit for a great chilled texture

      Breakfast Cookie Bars

      You can make these nutritious oat and nut bars, and store them to be ready for a quick breakfast, or a mid-morning snack

      Time: 30 minutes

      Makes 12 - 15 bars

      Ingredients:

      5 oz (150g) oats

      2 oz (50g) quinoa

      2 oz (50g) walnuts (chopped)

      2 oz (50g) sunflower seeds

      2 oz (50g) cranberries

      2 oz (50g) chopped dried apricots

      1/2 tspn cinnamon

      3 ripe bananas

      4 tbspn melted coconut oil

      1 tspn vanilla extract

      Preheat the oven to 350?, 180?, Gas mark 4

      Method:

      1. Combine the first seven ingredients and mix well

      2. Mash the bananas in another bowl, and combine with coconut oil and vanilla extract

      3. Combine the two mixtures, and stir until well mixed

      4. Form cookie bars and lay them out on a lined baking tray

      5. Bake for about 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown

      6. Allow to cool before removing from baking tray

      7. Store in a screw-top container

      Cook’s tip:

      You could replace the cranberries, apricots and walnuts with other dried fruit and nuts

      Buckwheat Breakfast

      Buckwheat is not wheat, or even a grain. It is a highly nutritious fruit seed related to rhubarb and sorrel, and contains high levels of magnesium and essential amino acids, with a higher fibre content than oats. It can be served as a great alternative to rice or made into porridge

      Time: 5 minutes, plus overnight soaking time

      Serves 2

      Ingredients:

      1 cup (5 oz/140g) raw buckwheat

      21/2 cups (20 fl oz/550ml) rice or almond milk

      2 bananas

      1/2 tspn cinnamon

      handful of nuts and dried fruit

      Method:

      1. Blend the bananas and milk until smooth

      2. Put the buckwheat in a bowl, and stir in the liquid until well combined

      3. Leave overnight in the fridge

      4. Serve with a sprinkling of cinnamon, nuts and dried fruit

      Cleansing Citrus Fruit Breakfast

      Oranges, lemons and grapefruit combine to make the most cleansing and refreshing breakfast ever. Where I live in tropical Mexico, I find that the local grapefruit is so sweet that it is not necessary to add honey

      Time: 5 minutes

      Serves 2

      Ingredients:

      2 oranges

      1 grapefruit

      juice of 1 lemon

      2 tbspn honey (optional)

      a little grated nutmeg

      Method:

      1. Peel and slice the oranges and grapefruit into a bowl

      2. Pour over the lemon juice and honey if used, and mix well

      3. Divide between two breakfast bowls

      4. Serve sprinkled with a little grated nutmeg

      Fresh Fruit Salad Breakfast

      There could not be a more healthy and refreshing breakfast than a fresh fruit salad. This is my preferred choice, but you can combine any seasonal fruit to your taste. When in season, I add the juice of two freshly picked sour oranges, straight from the tree in my garden. One of the many joys of living in Mexico

      Time: 10 minutes

      Serves 2

      Ingredients:

      1 mango

      4 oz (100g) grapes

      4 oz
