My vegan slimming world diary

[treehuggermum]

Hi, I’m vegan, 42, and starting again with slimming world, at my highest ever weight. I’m also doing C25k again. I made a quick lazy salad today with merchant gourmet rice n quinoa 4 syns, and squeaky bean kick of tikka 5 syns. Maybe seems a bit high, but I only used about half of it so I don’t think too bad. I’m recording the syns in my SlimIt app, if that helps anybody.

I'll be giving this a follow

Whilst I'm not vegan I do try my bit to include plant based meals in my diet quite a bit.

The two ready made vegan options I've found which are lower on syns and nice have been garden gourmet Mediterranean fillets and vivera shawarma. Like your post, both can easily be split into two portions too.

I've also got the latest slimming world vegan cook book if you had any interest in anything in there.
