Healthier swaps for your favourite winter dinners
Healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up the recipes you love most, especially those comforting winter warmers. There are simple ways you can renovate your recipes to reduce the Points and create delicious and nourishing meals without compromising flavour. Here are some of our favourite recipe renovators to get you started:
Swap this | For this |
---|---|
Fatty meat cuts | Leaner cuts of meats such as chicken breast, sirloin & round steak, & extra lean mince |
Full fat dairy | Reduced-fat dairy |
Butter | Reduced-fat margarine or extra virgin olive oil |
Cream/sour cream | 99% fat-free plain Greek yoghurt |
Bechamel sauce | Reduced-fat ricotta and skim milk |
Puff pastry | Filo pastry |
