Quick and Easy Recipes With 5 Ingredients Or Less
Super quick and easy recipes that will keep you on plan
It’s always frustrating when you spend time searching for a recipe that tickles your fancy, only to find an ingredients list as long as your arm. But cooking doesn’t need to be complicated. In fact, some of the most delicious dishes contain the fewest ingredients. Because of this, we have compiled our best quick and simple meals and snacks with few ingredients - 5 or less to be exact. The perfect easy low calorie, low carb meals for when you're feeling lazy.
One base fits all. Lo-Dough bases fit into pretty much all diets as they are low calories, carbs, high in fibre, and sugar-, gluten- and dairy-free. One of the main benefits, however, is the incredible versatility, as they can be used to make hundreds of sweet and savoury dishes including pizza, pastry, cakes, wraps, toasties and more.

Ham and Mushroom are two of the nation’s favourite pizza toppings and you can enjoy the whole one to yourself for just 300 calories - so you know this pizza is going to be a winner!
Four Cheese Toastie
When you’re looking for something quick, easy and comforting, toasties are often just the thing. Whether you have yours with one of your favourite cheeses or four like we have here, it will still be low calorie, low carb, and utterly delicious.
Kimcheese Pizza
South Korea’s fermented cabbage dish 'Kimchee' brings an incredibly complex, sour note to this pizza that works deliciously with the cheese. Kimchee is also a great pre-biotic food which works wonders for gut health. Win-win!
