CHOICE CHOC

Instead of pud, I sometimes have a hot

choc. These Columbian dark chocolate

flakes are a favourite – indulgent

without being OTT for calories.

FOR SALAD DAYS
When I want a low-carb lunch, I’ll be
tucking into this new salad with
yellowfin tuna, atlantic salmon and muki
beans – it contains 214 nutrient-dense
calories, and is satisfying with it.
