Low Calorie Sticky Toffee Brownies

Tuesday Dessert: Low Calorie Sticky Toffee Brownies

At just 130kcal per brownie and with a portion of the sticky, creamy, toffee sauce, get ready to be blown away by these brownie delights. Ten of the 14g carbs are coming from the dates themselves and so are a natural sauce of sugar. As for the rest of the macros, it's all just a little bit of Lo-Dough magic!

Low-cal French Onion Soup With Low-Carb Cheesy Croutons

Thursday Lunch: Low-cal French Onion Soup With Low-Carb Cheesy Croutons

French onion soup is just the thing on a cold winter's night. Slowly-cooked sweet onions, simmered in a rich stock; the kind of thing that'll warm you from the inside. So far, so healthy, but the thing that really sets this soup off are the cheesy croutons served on top, ready to soak up all those savoury flavours.

Friday Dinner: Red Pesto & Soft Cheese Stuffed Chicken Kiev

Taking a classic Chicken Kiev technique and playing around with the stuffing inside is one of the joys of making your own. Traditional garlic/parsley butter can be replaced with... well, just about anything you like. Trust us... you're gonna love this one: oozy soft cheese, garlicky and tomato-y red pesto - it's an absolute flavour bomb!
