The best low-calorie and low-carb recipes for your Summer BBQ

Even though you're not going to have a BBQ every day this week, that would be our dream! Here are our favourite Lo-Dough recipes for the perfect BBQ spread.

Monday Dinner: Low Calorie BBQ Veggie Pizza

When the sun's out, there is nothing better than a good old barbecue however, many people forget the veg. Charred up veg are delicious, nutritious and perfect to serve alongside or instead of meat. If looking to keep your BBQ meals low-calorie and low-carb, replace any bread element of the meal with Lo-Dough. And if you find yourself with any leftovers, throw them on a pizza!

Tuesday Lunch: Low Carb Hot-Wings

These Lo-Dough coated wings will hit the spot and at 55g of protein, they also make the perfect post-workout snack too. These wings are baked until crispy rather than fried, which dramatically lowers the fat and calorie content - using Lo-Dough instead of regular breadcrumbs or a flour coating, lowers the carbs and calories further, as well as ensuring they are gluten-free.

Wednesday Lunch: Low Carb Brisket Sandwich

Brisket is a BBQ classic. Juicy, smokey, deeply flavoured beef, ready to be stuck between two slices of bread and devoured. But wait, what if you are on a low carb diet or keto diet (or just looking to cut a few calories for that matter)? Don't worry, Lo-Dough has the answer.

Thursday Side: Curried Low-Carb, Low-Cal Slaw

This lightly curried slaw is a flavour hit at Lo-Dough HQ. It will sit with meats, fish, kebabs, burgers - you name it. Perfect for a wrap (perhaps with sliced chicken or halloumi) or on the side of a savoury fish cake/fritter - you should definitely look at making your own slaw instead of buying the usual cheap mayo-drenched shop-bought stuff.

Friday Dinner: Low Cal Mixed BBQ Meat Pizza

Ok, 'leftover' BBQ meats might sound like a bit of a crazy concept... but try and keep a few scraps back for the next day if you can and make an amazing meat feast pizza, with an additional smokey edge. By making it on a Lo-Dough base, you'll slash the carbs, making this a healthy alternative and perfect for a low-carb or keto diet, as well as making it gluten free and surprisingly low-calorie.
