What r ur shopping trolley essentials???

[clairebear22]

Hello I am planning a wee trip to Morrisons tomorrow and I would love to know what everyone puts in their trolleys????

Just need some ideas as I feel like I put in the same things every week so I end up with the same meals and I'm getting super bored

 

[alona]

Warburtons square wraps for either pizza or the most filling lunch

 

[clairebear22]

Thanks for your reply!! I seen these last week and ended up putting them in my trolley. I made a pizza one night with one of them and I think that i'll have one soon for lunch maybe with some cheese and ww ham. Can't believe that they are only 4pp so much better than bread!

Do you have any other items that you put in your basket? Claire x

yes. 50gr dried ( 4pp)

comparison between bulgur and brown rice, showing that a cup of bulgur has fewer calories, less fat, and more than twice the fiber of rice!

bulgur 1 cup; 151cal; 0.44gr fat; 8.2gr fiber;
brown rice 1 cup; 216cal; 1.8hr fat; 3.5gr fiber;

and more quick to cook.

I no this might sound silly bit wud sum1 plz tell me wat cous cous is... Im reading so much about people using it in their diets nd its low on PP.. Wud b nice to try it out??

It's normally found around the grains, it looks like breadcrumbs. You soak it in water and add stuff like chopped peppers, lemon zest etc. It's a really tasty alternative to rice or pasta.

My shopping must have is Fat Free plain yoghurt. It's great with fruit, or added to meals. It's even great as a snack on it's own, especially with agave syrup.

Another thing I love as a treat are the sugar free hartleys jelly.
It feels like something you shouldn't be having, but it's 0PP and under 10 calories.

I like slurping through one in front of the telly, it stops me from reaching for toast or crisps or anything bad.
