Healthy Slimming World Vegetarian Recipes
This is how you can you shop as a vegetarian following Slimming World on a budget.
It may seem pretty obvious, but meal planning will not only save you time but a lot of money as well.
Start by writing down every single ingredient you throw away. So for example, if you run out of pasta, then that gets written down.
Something like this magnetic meal planner and shopping list is good, as it sticks to your fridge. You could use a simple notepad. This works well if you like going back to look at past week’s meal plans for inspiration.
Another thing that’s great about meal planning is that less food goes out of date.
It’s best to shop weekly if you can.
This is because if you get bored, then you aren’t stuck with a fridge full of food going off that you won’t use and kids taste change.
Shopping at a discounter is a great idea as while the food isn’t branded, it still contains the same syn value.
If you prefer to shop online then make sure you look at ohMyDosh first, as this could save you £100s off your shopping bill.

Then, cut the mushrooms into quarters, all the frozen peppers, frozen onions and a handful of spinach.
Spray it all in the pan with some low fat cooking spray.

In a small baking tray, add some baking paper, and put the mixture in. Add your fruit at this point by sprinkling it on the top.

Start by making the paste. Add the oil then fry off over medium heat with the onion and chili flakes until the onion is clear. This is when you want to put the rice on as per the packet instructions. Whizz up the garlic cloves, ginger, coriander, cumin, garam masala, tomato purée, and salt. Once it’s turned into a smooth paste, add it to the pan.
Stirring occasionally will help the paste not stick to the pan or wok. Drain the chickpeas and add them and the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes.
