Low Fat

Breakfast

Fatty baked goods usually dominate breakfast menus, particularly takeaways. Instead, off er porridge with toppings such as fruit, nuts and cinnamon. It’s a comforting meal to get customers through the January blues, whether they’re eating in or taking a pot for the commute.

Show customers healthy doesn’t mean boring. Swap out butter and sugar for low-fat Greek yogurt and desiccated coconut to create a low-fat banana bread, and top with low-fat cottage cheese, fruit and seeds for extra protein.

Lunch

Sandwiches are a staple food in the UK, but they’re not necessarily low-fat. Take a lesson from the Danish and serve open sandwiches, or smørrebrød as they call them. Make them by piling toppings high on rye bread, which is dense and very filling so you only need one slice. Top with houmous and grilled vegetables for a vegan option or smoked salmon and boiled egg for high protein.

Dinner

There are lots of ways to recreate winter comfort foods that have a lower fat content. Invite customers to swap their takeaway curry for a healthier version by using fi sh, or vegetables such as caulifl ower or aubergine. Cut down fat content further by swapping cream with low-fat Greek yogurt or plant-based milk. Do a makeover on the comfort classic bolognese by using turkey mince or lentils in place of beef. Not only are lentils low in fat, but the dish is also sure to attract those taking part in Veganuary.
