Spicy chicken drumsticks and cauliflower rice

Comfort food at its best! This delicious chicken dish is sure to become a family favourite. It is packed with flavour and the addition of cauliflower rice makes it ideal for a detox.

Cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables, which also includes broccoli, cabbage, Brussel sprouts and bok choi. All of these vegetables have specialised compounds that help to promote healthy liver function. They are also ideal to support healthy hormone balance in both men and women.

I always recommend at least one serve of cruciferous vegetables every day. This is an ideal way to get it!
