1. Slimming World Chinese Chicken & Broccoli

We’re big fans of takeaways, especially Chinese, so we’re always looking for Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly alternatives. Our latest creation is this Chinese Chicken and Broccoli.
My Alternative To Slimming World Chinese Chicken & Broccoli
A Vegan Alternative
This is a great and easy slimming world recipe, so I had to make a vegan version. You can convert it really easily.
First replace the chicken with some firm tofu. Dice it into squares and make a spice mix for it. You will find many spices that work well. Try 1 teaspoon of cumin and 1 teaspoon of fenugreek to start, you can add some chilli flakes if you like more heat in your meal.
Add A Little Spice
Put the cubes in a bowl and sprinkle the spices over the cubes. Then shake the bowl to spread the spices evenly and cook just as you do the chicken in the original recipe. You can replace the oyster sauce with a dash of balsamic vinegar or some tamarind sauce or maybe just add a little more soy sauce.
If you want something with a more chicken like texture there are various mock chicken options you can try. Making them from seitan or soy is an option and there are many commercial products available that will fit within the guidelines of any slimming world recipe.

This is another great slimming world recipe that’s easy to transform. You can cook it as it is but without the pork or chicken and you won’t be disappointed. Adding some roasted seeds can transform it though. I used roast pumpkin seeds for an omega 3 boost. Any seeds can be used so it’s a great way to target any nutrient deficiencies you may have.
Seeds and Nutrition
Hemp seed is a concentrated source of omega-3 oils and an omega-6 oil called GLA. It contains high levels of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc and also adds to your daily dose of vitamins C, A, E and some B vitamins. Sunflower seeds have high levels of magnesium and vitamin B6 with significant levels of iron and potassium. Flax seed has huge amounts of magnesium and dietary fibre and significant levels of vitamin B6, calcium and potassium.
Packed With Protein
All these seeds are great sources of protein. I would suggest combining the seeds to make this slimming world recipe as balanced nutritionally as possible, unless you know you have specific deficiencies.
3. Slimming World Minced Beef Hotpot

Our comforting, slimming-friendly Minced Beef Hotpot will fill you up, even if you are counting calories or following plans Weight Watchers!
My Alternative To Slimming World Minced Beef Hotpot
I think hotpots are great and the Henderson’s relish in the recipe grabbed my attention. It is a wonderful, tasty and vegetarian sauce that will give you something really different to work with. Try it in any recipe that uses Worcester sauce.
Why Not Make It Vegan?
Any good vegetable stock can replace the beef stock and with all the soya and TVP products available as meat alternatives you can simply choose the one that you like best. Using fresh thyme really adds something special to the recipe. Fresh herbs are always best both for taste and nutritionally.

My Alternative To Slimming World Turkey Meatballs
Being completely honest, I had never made vegetarian meatballs, so when I saw this slimming world recipe it was a challenge. I know there are various commercial products that could be used to make the meatballs quickly and easily, but I wanted to create something distinctly different.
Wonderful Vegan Protein Balls
By combining roasted pumpkin seeds and lightly mashed chick peas I was able to make succulent vegan slimming world protein balls that are great and really flexible to use in any recipes.
Feeling Naughty?
Adding a little sesame oil and roasting them produced wonderful results. Flattening them slightly and frying them in a little spray on oil works really well too, and if I’m feeling naughty, they can be deep fried as a naughty treat.
Crunchy Sesame Seed Coating
Rolling them in sesame seeds releases a whole new flavour. You could add finely chopped onions or garlic to the chick pea mix. This will give you something that is like a cross between falafel and an onion bhaji that is simply delectable. Why not try something new? Experiment with other ingredients you like, find the perfect recipe for you.
6. Slimming World Enchilada Lasagne

Enchilada Lasagne combines chilli, gooey cheese and soft tortillas. A great slimming friendly recipe for those following any diet plan like Weight Watchers or counting calories!
My Alternative To Slimming World Enchilada Lasagne
It isn’t always easy to make a recipe vegan and still keep it within the range of a slimming world recipe. This one has defeated me so far. It is fairly easy to make it vegetarian, but I haven’t made a vegan one I’m truly happy with yet. If you manage to, I would love to hear about it.
7. Slimming World Crispy Chicken Wrap

If you’re in the mood for a naughty but nice dish then this Low Syn Crispy Chicken Wrap Fakeaway is going to be right up your street! Not only is it a healthy alternative to the unhealthy fast food that you may be craving, but it’s also a total taste explosion!
My Alternative To Slimming World Crispy Chicken Wrap
I am just going to leave this recipe as it is for now. Several friends make it often as part of their slimming world regime. As you can with all the recipes try and swap the recipe around. You can add or replace pretty much any ingredient if you want to.
8. Slimming World Garlic & Parmesan Hassleback Potatoes
Article image from – basementbakehouse
Syn Free Garlic & Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes are crispy, semi-sliced potatoes topped with a tantalising mix of salty parmesan, garlic and herbs for extra flavour.
My Alternative To Slimming World Garlic & Parmesan Hassleback Potatoes
You will love these slimming world hassleback potatoes, and it’s so easy to make them vegan.
Rather than trying to simply replace the parmesan, I cook the potatoes in exactly the same way to stay within slimming world guidelines, then dress and garnish them with garlic oil and sesame seeds, or Hummus and freshly chopped basil.
Pine nuts can make a lovely change too. You can add any roasted seeds or even some roasted and crushed cashew nuts. Adding a salad with some tamarind or soy sauce is another great way to make it something special too.
9. Philly Cheesesteak Fries

My Alternative To Slimming World Cheese & Onion Tart
The baked onion base in this slimming world recipe is wonderful. You get a lovely texture and flavour which complements the quiche perfectly. I immediately tried to think about other ways I could use it.
Creating an Amazing Garnish
If you make it just as in the slimming world recipe above, when it is cooked break it up into a bowl. You can use it as an amazing garnish for salads and even soups. It will add an incredible sweetness to any dish, and the texture adds something very special too.
For A Fiery Alternative
You could add toasted sesame seeds or roasted and crushed cashew nuts to the baked onions for a more complex flavour if desired. Adding a little chilli as you fry the onions will give them a fiery kick perfect for some soups. A little freshly ground black pepper at the same stage adds gentler warmth and changes the flavour in another exciting way. I have used this to add something special to many recipes I have made since and I am grateful to Vikkie for sharing it as part of her slimming world recipe.

This super simple recipe for Syn Free Ham & Mushroom Pitta Pizza is healthy, filling and nutritious lunch or dinner dish that everyone will love.
My Alternative To Slimming World Ham & Mushroom Pitta Pizza
You can easily transform this wonderful slimming world recipe by using lightly fried, thinly sliced, smoked tofu strips. The mozzarella works really well with a firm tofu and the smoked flavour finishes it off beautifully.
There are ways to make it Vegan, but it changes the recipe so much I am not going to include it here. You can experiment as always, and if you find a good Vegan alternative to mozzarella that isn’t too highly processed I would love to hear about it.

Veggie sausages are available anywhere these days, and they can be much healthier than their meat alternatives. High in protein and low in fat they can make a great addition to make slimming world recipes even better. Just replace them in this recipe and use vegetarian gravy. You will have a meal that will rival anything made with meat based sausages.

My Alternative To Slimming World Spaghetti Carbonara
You can search for a parmesan alternative if you want to, but I use a combination of seeds instead. Slowly roasting pumkin seeds until they are soft and tender releases a wonderful Umami flavour. Pine nuts add healthy oils and a delectable flavour. Sesame seeds work with anything, savoury or sweet dish and you can add some of the baked onion garnish from the recipe above too.

My Alternative To Slimming World Lancashire Hotpot
This was the perfect slimming world recipe to make vegan. It has a wonderful rich flavour, so didn’t take much work.
You can simply replace the stock with vegetable stock and use any of the commercially made meat alternatives if you want to. Personally, I don’t think it needs them. You can Cook it without any meat alternative and it is just as filling and comforting.
Adding Nutrients
You could add seeds to this slimming world recipe for a nutrition boost. Roasted sunflower seeds added to the vegetables are rich in flavour and nutritionally wonderful. Try using toasted sesame seeds mixed in with the vegetables or sprinkled on the potato crust. Or you can simply sprinkle some caraway seeds onto the sliced potatoes when they are almost cooked for a subtle aniseed flavour when you want something different.

The slimming-friendly ingredients in this Chilli Pasta Bake make the perfect meal if you’re calorie counting or following a diet plan like Weight Watchers!
My Alternative To Slimming World Chilli Pasta Bake
All of the commercially available meat alternatives make turning this into a vegan recipe really easy. My favourite version uses tempeh instead of beef and just replaces the stock with a good vegetable stock. If you soak the tempeh overnight in Henderson’s relish it turns this slimming world recipe into something quite different, but equally lovely.
Using fresh herbs can take you on a wonderful journey too. Their flavour is very different to their dried alternatives and they are packed with nutrients. Take a look here (link to magic of herbs) to see some of the amazing health giving properties of the most common herbs

When I was asked to put this list of slimming world recipes together I was new to slimming world, so I was pleasantly surprised by some of the ideas. Not just the full recipes, but the little bits that make that recipe special.
Just as I did, you can use these ideas in any way you want to. Enjoy experimenting. That joy will shine through in every dish that you cook. You can personalise all the recipes. It is surprising how much difference it can make when you only change one ingredient.
Nutrition Is Key
Nutrition is something I always try to consider in every recipe. You can improve a recipe nutritionally so easily by adding some nuts, seeds, herbs or spices. The flavour they bring to these slimming world recipes is a wonderful bonus and their nutritional value means getting all of your vitamins and minerals becomes easy.
Give Yourself a Choice
You can learn to swap ingredients around to create differences in your slimming world diet. We all have personal preferences, and some would argue this is our body’s way of telling us about something that we need. To listen to that voice you need to quieten down the voices of all the food advertising you have ever heard, but it is possible. You could try meditating to achieve that quiet time, and then try listening to that quiet voice inside that has been drowned out by modern life.
Enjoy The Journey!
