Healthy extra A alternatives

[B's lovely lady]

Hi,

Are then any alternatives to milk and cheese for healthy ex A? I don't drink milk at all, and I was worried that I'm eating too much cheese! Thanks!

No, they are included to make sure you are getting enough calcium so only cheese and milk. As they are measured amounts there is no reason to worry you are having too much cheese but you could try different kinds of cheese and cheese spread to give you some variety. Or if you don't like drinking milk how about using it to make a hot chocolate, rice pudding or cheese sauce?

Oooh rice pudding sounds good! Thank you! I keep just having low fat cheddar and it's getting a bit samey!

You could have mozzarella on a pizza or pasta bake, parmesan on risotto or pasta dishes, feta, double gloucester and potato soup is scrummy, babybels are good for on the go, and so on.

Take a look a BritMum's lasagne recipe which has a lovely cheese sauce There are two different recipes depending how cheesy you want it to be - in my mind you can't be too cheesy though!

Aubergine Lasagne | Slimming Eats - Slimming World Recipes
