Packed Full Of Superfoods

Grass-fed Beef — full of protein, beef is a great choice for your evening meal. It becomes even better for your health, however, when you select a grass-fed variety as it has been shown to contain higher antioxidants, significantly less saturated fat and a healthier balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. Beef is also a fantastic source of iron — something many of us may be lacking without even knowing it — and it can even help your body heal thanks to the high levels of zinc present in this meat. We suggest sourcing your beef from a free range butcher if you would like the highest nutritional benefits. 

Spinach — supports your immune system while providing excellent levels of many key vitamins and minerals. Spinach is a supergreen that can assist the body in absorbing iron from other sources, making it a great companion for your grass-fed beef.

Couscous — a great source of fibre when served in its whole form, couscous has been linked to a decreased risk of cancer as well as better heart health. It can work alongside the spinach in your salad to support your immune system.

Onion — although they get a bit of a bad reputation due to their ability to make us cry while slicing them, onions are actually an incredibly healthy vegetable. Packed full of antioxidants and featuring antibacterial properties, these little superfoods are low in calories but high in nutrients. Much like the above-mentioned couscous, they may be able to help reduce your risk of cancer, and they even have the potential to help control blood sugar.

Chicken or Beef Stock — in addition to adding extra flavour to your dish, stocks are also known for containing large doses of amino acids, marrow and essential minerals. This means that the addition of this broth to your meal can significantly increase the nutritional profile of your salad without adding many calories at all.

Where To Buy Ingredients
