LET’S EAT IN
The traditional Sunday roast has been a British institution since 1485, when King Henry VII would treat his guards to roast beef after church. A classic combo of meat, veg and various sides, it’s still the ultimate comfort food – and with these simple tips, you can tuck in without sending your SmartPoints® soaring
1 Pick your protein
If you eat meat, go for a lean, skinless protein such as chicken or turkey, to lower your SmartPoints. For those who prefer red meat, try to forgo any visible fat. And if you’re vegetarian, instead of a traditional nut roast, which can be high in saturated fat, try a grilled cauliflower or aubergine steak. They can be every bit as tasty as the meaty alternatives.
2 Do the mash
Roast potatoes can be hard to resist, but they’re usually cooked in lots of oil to make them crispy. Try boiled, skin-on new potatoes instead – their skin is packed full of fibre which will help you feel fuller for longer. Or, why not go for mash? It’s just as comforting. Toby Carvery’s mash is just 1 SmartPoint per 40g serving, compared with 8 SmartPoints for 3 roasties.
3 Sort your sides
Cauliflower cheese and savoury stuffing can quickly push up the saturated fat in your meal. Having just one or two small sides will ensure your plate is balanced, and help you appreciate everything on it more than if it’s overloaded. Tr
