This is a sponsored conversation on behalf of Weight Watchers. Thank you for supporting them. All opinions are my own. So, about food blogging. It is absolute fun. I get to do my one of favourite jobs, in the whole wide world, for a living. I get to create, taste, re-create, make it perfect (in my head), photograph and share all my food adventures with you guys. So yes, the best job in the world. BUT. It is rather easy for food blogging to turn into a sedentary job. Cooking, taking photographs, editing them, writing and social media involves a lot of sitting etc. I get less fit and the weight creeps on. Also on really crazy days, when I am waaaaaaaay too tired to cook, I tend to just want to grab something unhealthy and easy. So, I have a cunning plan – aka stock up my fridge with some food that is tasty, healthier and nutritious and comes with the tagline ‘no food is off limits”, for days when I just NEED to eat, NOT cook.
Enter Weight Watchers with their huge range of ready to eat foods and their really simple and new SmartPoints system. Personally, I like this idea much more than their previous system. The idea behind SmartPoints is that they help nudge you towards nutritious, healthier foods so that you eat better, feel better, have more energy AND lose weight. So, foods that are higher in sugar and/or saturated fat are higher in SmartPoints values. Foods that are higher in lean protein are lower in SmartPoints values. You’re steered towards healthier choices. Simples and clever right? To make it even simpler to make healthier eating and shopping choices, Weight Watchers has unveiled a brand new packaging design. This clearly shows SmartPoints value and calorie and nutritional information. So, the only thinking necessary is what delicious treats to get. Next time you are out doing your supermarket shop check out some of the Weight Watchers range like these chilled ready meals, yoghurts, cheese, dessert (yes please) pittas and drinks. So much choice there.
Having been inspired by all the Weight Watchers food range, I also decided to try and make healthier choices when cooking starting by recreating the Weight Watchers Chilli Con Carne Meatballs recipe. The Chilli Con Carne Meatballs are an easy one-pot recipe with, lower fat and only 371 calories per serving. I served it simply with Instant Pot Brown Rice but, you can use wholemeal pasta or if you want to reduce your carbs, you could serve with a salad or some stir-fried veggies.
