2 Spring Onions
2 Cloves of Garlic
Handful of Spinach
Pinch of Black Pepper
Fry Light
4 Slices of Parma ham (or bacon without fat if u want it syn free)

Place a few spinach leaves on top of the turkey breast, and wrap the parma ham or fat free bacon around the fillet.
Spray with fry light and sprinkle with black pepper.

Syn Free Yummy Wedges

Syn free on EE

You will need...

Potatoes (washed and then skin on or off to your taste)
Fry Light
Oxo cubes - the spag bol one works fab!

How to make...

Wash the potatoes, and peel if you dont want the skins on.

Boil in a saucepan for 10 mins.

Drain and dry thoroughly - I drain in colander and then cover it with a tea towel so the steam dries them.

Place in a baking dish sprayed lightly with frylight.

Spray the wedges with frylight and crumble 2 oxo cubes over them.

Cook in oven on gas 7 or high heat for 30 minutes or until browned to your liking.

(all the oxo cubes lend themselves to this recipe - the chicken ones and the spag bol are my favs!)

SW Choc Dessert

Serves 4 - 1/2 syn per serving (so u can eat the lot

)

You will need...

100g Fat Free Quark
500g Fat Free Fromage Frais
1 tablespoon of granulated sweetener
One sachet of Options hot choc or similar low syn hot choc
Ground Cinammon - a few pinches

How to make...

Put the Quark and 400g of the fat free fromage frais in a bowl and mix

Add the sweetener and hot chocolate and mix thoroughly

Spoon into glasses

Top each one with the remaining fat free fromage frais and sprinkle with cinammon

(This works well with any of the flavours of hot choccy - we have tried the caramel and the white choc!)

Yes speed soup! proven to boost weight loss and tastes amazing!

LUNCH BOX IDEAS

Spoiler
