Steak
When I have a pub lunch with my friends, a lot of them order a steak and chips. When I was a vegetarian, I obviously did not. But that is not to say, I don’t like the peppercorn sauce that it often comes with. Luckily for me, Quorn do a vegetarian alternative which provides very similar nutritional values to eating a real steak. Furthermore, it is packed with mycoprotein (81%) and is gluten free, just like a real steak.
Peppercorn sauce
One of my favourite parts of this meal was the peppercorn sauce In fact, it was creamy and delicious. Moreover, it was very simple to make as you just pop it in the microwave from frozen. This Slimming World sauce is exclusive to Iceland. It comes in a 350g pot and only costs £1.50. Best of all, it’s syn free.
I know not everyone lives close to an Iceland. Also, some people prefer to make their own sauces. So if you prefer, you can make the sauce from scratch in around 35 minutes using Slimming World’s recipe.
Chips
I have talked numerous times on my blog about homemade Slimming World chips and their benefit. Firstly, they are syn free. Secondly, they are absolutely delicious with JD seasoning’s chips and wedges seasoning and finally, they are extremely cost effective if you are making chips regularly (which I do). I really do recommend saving your syns and your pennies by making your own chips the Slimming World way. You can use the code JESSGETS20 for 20% off your order at JD Seasonings!
Asparagus
At the time of writing this recipe, asparagus is one of the many speed vegetables that should make up around one third of your plate. Admittedly, on this occasion, I have monopolised on the fact that they are long and take up a lot of space on the plate. I promise that the rest of my meals on this day had extra speed on the plate! If asparagus is not your thing though, there are plenty of other speed vegetables that you could substitute it for. Perhaps you could try tomatoes, spinach, or green beans. All of which would have similar benefits of keeping you fuller for longer and help boost your weight loss.
