[RECIPE] BRIE & GRAPE LUNCHBOX SALAD
The New 5:2 Diet Recipes
by Jacqueline Whitehart
5y ago
Are you a cheese-loving dieter? Me too! Here’s the lunchbox salad we’ve been waiting for #weightloss #instafood We’ve chatted before about how a little planning pays off massively when it comes to weight-loss. Midday munchies are a red flag for many of us, which is why (even though it can sometimes feel like a pain to make them) I always pack my own lunches. My workload might be unpredictable but my calories don’t have to be. This lunchbox favourite came about when, like lots of cheese-loving dieters, I found myself drooling – and weeping – over a creamy Camembert. I could feel my willpower dr ..read more

[RECIPE] Toasted Cumin Halloumi (285 cals)
The New 5:2 Diet Recipes
by Jacqueline Whitehart
5y ago
Try this delicious and filling toasted cumin halloumi with butternut squash. Would you like a fun food fact? Of course you would! Try this one: we Brits eat more halloumi than any other European country except Cyprus. I’m pleased we love halloumi. Not just because I’m a big fan but because its popularity means you can pick it up almost anywhere these days. And that’s great because the salty, firm, chewy – and yes, squeaky – cheese is a really useful addition to our national larder; particularly handy when catering for vegetarians. Halloumi’s high melting point means it’s great for frying and g ..read more

[RECIPE] Asparagus Pile Up (218 cals)
The New 5:2 Diet Recipes
by Jacqueline Whitehart
5y ago
Don’t forget about the joys of asparagus this year. A seasonal veg that’s totally delicious and oh so good for you. The kids have been off school this week, which means a week of trying to work before my teenagers get out of bed. A week of being a taxi service and social event organiser. Quite a lot of sitting, watching and drinking tea. Plus, my mastery of the incredibly complicated world of cricket is slowly improving… But I get bored rigid of their lunchtime routine, when they’re having another cheese/crisps/sandwich combo… I look for something quick and easy to prepare that is ..read more

[RECIPE] Break free of the iceberg with this superfood salad (440 cals)
The New 5:2 Diet Recipes
by Jacqueline Whitehart
5y ago
Hooray! The sun shines and our thoughts turn to #salad. Keep it interesting with this chicken, broccoli and sugar snap superfood salad bowl. If the word ‘salad’ still conjures up images of a whole limp round lettuce leaf laying beside regimented slices of tomato and cucumber, possibly topped with a greyish boiled egg, it’s no wonder people would rather have cake. To me, salads are a glorious cacophony of fresh flavours and colours, zipped up by whatever store cupboard extras I can lay my hands on. And with the emphasis on raw food, the vitamin content practically glows at you from the bowl. Th ..read more

[RECIPE] Sausage & Lentil Quick Hotpot (405 cals)
The New 5:2 Diet Recipes
by Jacqueline Whitehart
5y ago
When your head says spring but the weather says brrrrrr, try this bright but comforting puy lentil and sausage quick hotpot. It’s a funny time of year. One minute it’s all daffodils and tulips and cheerily-vibrant stems of rhubarb. The next moment, you foolishly step outside minus coat and scarf and the biting cold is still swiping round your ears as if we’ve entered a permanent Narnia-style Age of Winter. I don’t know about you but I’ve pretty much exhausted my soup repertoire by now, even with a few encouraging spring veg creeping into season to pep things up a bit. Although the c ..read more

[RECIPE] Satisfy that chip craving with Sweet Potato Wedges – 137 cals
The New 5:2 Diet Recipes
by Jacqueline Whitehart
5y ago
From big fat chips to skinny crunchy fries, what can healthy eaters do when we get a craving for chips? Here’s the answer: Sweet Potato Wedges Given that they’re just made from humble spuds, there’s something oddly magical about a chip. The smell and tang of salt and vinegar, then the first crisp, hot bite that gives way to the fluffy white inside… is your mouth watering as much as mine? I think it’s partly because we tend to have chips on high days and holidays. The last time I had proper chips was a bench at the seaside, eating them straight from the packet – and munching fast so t ..read more

Bulgar Wheat Salad (295 cals)
The New 5:2 Diet Recipes

5y ago
Beat the lunchbox blues with this healthy lunchbox salad Out of my normal routine last week, I found myself in a sandwich shop, looking for something healthy to fight off those midday munchies. Normally, I plan ahead and pack something for the day but the best-laid plans and all that… So, I’m in the sandwich shop. And I’m stumped. Apart from the fact that almost everything contained chicken (I mean, I like chicken, but there are limits), most of them are slathered in mayo or crammed with bacon or cheese. And not in a good way. In the end, I pick a wrap that’s so cold it’s almost ..read more

[RECIPE] North African Meatball Tagine
The New 5:2 Diet Recipes
by Jacqueline Whitehart
5y ago
A healthy one-pot tagine recipe to make you feel like a domestic goddess? Enjoy… Every culture has its one-pot meal. Across Britain, we still love our hotpots and stews – and Liverpudlians are so keen on scouse, they nicknamed a whole city population after it. But – big thanks to Google for the A to Z of stews – there’s more to a one-pot meal than beef, carrots and dumplings. From aji de gallina (Peruvian chicken stew) to zoervleis (Belgian/Dutch sweet horse meat stew. Er, no thanks!), it all sounds more exotic in a different language. And the ingredients change with the geography to ..read more
