    Parsnips-can we have them on a pv day??

    Just like the subject really, I'm starting the cruise phase tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knew if parsnips were allowed on the protein and veg days?

    Thanks in advance

    Good question! My book doesn't mention parsnips so I too will be interested in the replies. I love parsnips and somehow will be surprised if they are Cruise friendly Saska
    Looking fwd to what I will gain when I lose.....

    Just be careful with them as I think on other first there limited because of the carb and sugar content

    Thank for your replies it didn't mention them in my book either but it didn't mention it in the other phases either. I'm not keen on them but I thought they were the next best thing to not having potatoes!

    Nope too sweet. Celeriac or butternut squash are brilliant and they're allowed. Go for it

    This was a question brought up a while ago and I said they weren't allowed, but someone else said they were. They're not in my book either so I haven't had them. Swede and turnip both are though.

    Butternut Squash is great mashed or as chips. Sprinkle some herbs on them before you cook them as chips. Very yum x

    Despite buying a few times over th years I never actually got to have sweet potato, I would keep forgetting to cook it and then end up having to throw away LOL. BNS is nice though. If mashing, but a bit of quark in there to cream it up.

    I like bns wedges sprayed with fry light and plenty of salt and pepper. Cook till the edges are almost burnt and it tastes all caramelised!

    I'm going to try celeriac next weekend on my pv days.... Any good suggestions for cooking? I'm currently standing here waiting for my turnip and cauliflower to cook so I can mash and have with my Sunday chicken..... Not awfully excited I have to admit lol :/
