Slimming World Kitchen delivers recipe boxes with all the fresh ingredients to your door - we gave it a try for a week
Slimming World is one of the UK's most popular dieting clubs, and now they've added a new service to aid those on their weight loss journey.
But I do know all the rules of how it works, so I tackled the Slimming World Kitchen boxes while following the rules of the diet plan across the course of the week. I decided to see just how well they would work for me by weighing in at the start and end of the week. Choosing them was a relatively straightforward process, there are menus for each calendar week, and you choose up to five meals from it. Dishes for the week I was picking included the likes of rustic pork pasta, chicken supreme and chicken chow mein.
In a smaller section of the box was a clearly marked tab for the refrigerated items - the fresh meats and yoghurts needed for the recipes. The beauty of the whole thing for Slimming World devotees is that EVERYTHING in the box is "free food". Under the rules of the plan, followers can eat unlimited amounts of foods categorised as "free" - which includes lean meats, pulses, fruit and vegetables and many herbs and spices - and, in theory, still lose weight.
Adding the fresh basil at the end was something I'd never think of doing when I'm cooking at home, but it gave it a real fresh hit. Again, the quality of the fresh ingredients really elevated this for me. The addition of the fresh mint in the sauce and on the dish at the end gave it a stunning crisp quality.Meal 3 - Best ever chicken korma This was again a bit of an epic to prepare in the kitchen, but I really hoped it would be worth it as I've never been able to create a really good chicken korma of my own at home that isn't a ready meal.
It did just feel like overkill having to roast the sweetcorn and chopped peppers to add to the rice when frying them for a bit would have worked just as well I felt. The great thing for people following the Slimming World plan is that the meal boxes are ALL entirely free meals, so you're able to use your HEA and HEB choices during the day on your other meals.
What's even more heartening for me is that I never went hungry and ate, quite frankly, massive portions of healthy, veg-packed, home-cooked food in these meal boxes and yet I still lost a great amount of weight by sticking to the plan for the full week.
