A scrumptious, low fat, low GI smoothie which I found in the October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine ‘Delicious’ and have adapted. Because it’s different from other smoothies I’ve made, I have posted it here for safekeeping – and for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.
This chunky Greek salad recipe is quick to make and packed with protein.

Each serving provides 205 kcal, 10.5g protein, 10.1g carbohydrate (of which 8.3g sugars), 12.7g fat (of which 4.2g saturates), 3.9g fibre and 1.75g salt.
These protein-packed stuffed peppers make a filling vegetarian meal that’s full of good-for-you ingredients. If you don’t like goats’ cheese these they also work well with feta. With a GI of 41 this meal is high protein, low GI and provides 373 kcal per portion.
A twist on the classic New York-style Waldorf salad with chicken and a creamy, but low-calorie, garlic dressing.
