Cooking Tips

Switch to low-fat

Making the switch to low-fat products is a whole lot easier than you think. If you are not used to it, why not start by replacing half the regular product with a low-fat version. You’ll be surprised at how tasty it can be!

It’s high time for high-fibre

Boost your health with high-fibre foods such as wholegrains, fruits, vegetables and beans. High-fibre foods keep you feeling fuller for longer – and help control your blood sugar.

Give your dishes a tasty twist

Herbs and spices are a great way to enhance the flavour of your favourite dishes. The next time you’re cooking, get that extra zing by swapping out the salt for a dash of herbs and spices.
