Sunday evening, 17-11-24 and not an ad!

Good evening, everyone!

Everything went well today.  I like being back on the healthy eating high road.

What I ate today:

Breakfast:  oaty pancakes with stewed apple and squishy plums and some seeds.

I mixed some of the stewed fruit in with the yogurt and it was so good!

Half a healthy extra B for oats and part of the other half for seeds.

Not a particularly exciting lunch but very tasty, all the same.

Afters was an apple and later on I had an orange.

One and a half syns for the cranberry sauce.

I decided to add potatoes to the roasted veg rather than have them for lunch.  Potatoes are a free food and the rest of the veg was all speed - broccoli and sprouts leftovers (and delicious roasted), pepper, tomatoes and mushrooms and I added some grated cheese too.

Two healthy extra As and one syn for a bit of evoo.

Summary:

two healthy extra As

L:  soup, bread to dunk; fruit

D:  cheesy mixed bean and pasta bake, salad; fruit

Exercise:  Circuits class

The extra bit.

Have you come across an online company called Oat Pantry?  I heard it mentioned, looked it up and have ordered some rather delicious sounding flavoured porridges that work with Slimming World as a B choice.
For example . . .

Mince pie porridge, anyone?

It says:
Our limited edition festive porridge is here to prove mince pies aren’t just for Christmas, they’re for breakfast too! Combine the sweetness of apples, raisins and hints of orange, with pecans, almonds and warming festive spices – to add all the flavours of a mince pie to your morning breakfast bowl.

My immediate reactions was ' Uh oh - ultra processed' so I looked at the ingredients.

Gluten free porridge oats, Coconut sugar, Raisins [Raisins (99.5%), Sunflower oil (0.5%)], Flaked almonds, Dried apple, Pecans, Mixed spice [Cinnamon, Ground coriander, Allspice, Clove, Ginger, Nutmeg], Natural orange extract

Oh.  My.  Goodness!

Definitely not ultra processed.

35g is a healthy extra B and they can be used for porridge, overnight oats, cup cakes and, presumably, ground for pancakes or waffles, as with any oats.

This isn't an ad.  Apart from the fact that I have just sent off an order, they have no idea I exist.

And when they arrive, I will let you know what I think.

Not cheap, for sure, as you will see if you click the link but it's Christmas coming up and . . . well, you know!  There are plenty worse festive foods (and drink) to spend your money on!
