Whether you’ve already started the school uniform shop or you’re someone who just can’t shake that “Back to School” mentality this time of year always brings, this Weekly Pinch of Shopping is all about saving you time in the kitchen so you can readjust for the school year – a mini New Year, as we like to think of it!

We’ve got sweet potato hash browns – because sometimes carbs really are the only thing that’ll get you out of bed in the morning. There are also plenty of snacks for your lunchbox or just when you’re on the go – including mini gingerbread men and protein-packed Babybels (we’ve got sweet AND savoury covered).

Morrisons Just Beets Fruity Salad Topper – 69 calories per serving

Beetroot is always a good vegetable to have on hand due to its versatility – plus it’s packed with nitrates that improve exercise performance, and rich in fibre to support digestion and support inflammation. Morrisons has come through with this Just Beets Fruity Salad Topper – steam-cooked pickled beets flavoured with hints of mint and fruity notes. 

If you’re in need of some inspiration, our Roasted Beetroot and Rosemary Salad comes together in an hour – and only 15 minutes of that is prep time. While the vegetables are roasting, you have 45 minutes to sit back with a book or put everyone’s uniforms on to wash.

Fox’s Chocolatey Dubai Style Pistachio – 84 calories per biscuit

Another pistachio product that caught our eye: Fox’s Chocolatey Dubai Style Pistachio biscuits. A milk chocolate marvel packed with pistachios and layered with kunafa (crispy filo pastry), the “Dubai Chocolate Bar” has been doing the rounds on social media for months. Now, it looks like biscuit legends Fox’s have caught on – and we don’t know about you, but we’re certainly looking forward to trying their take on the trend.

If you fall more on the side of the fruit and nut sweet treat spectrum, our Cranberry and Almond Oat Cookies could be just the thing for you. At 272 calories per cookie, they’re slightly more indulgent, but the oats are a good source of fibre and keep you fuller for longer.

Fox’s Chocolatey Dubai Style Pistachio biscuits are available at Tesco, priced at £3 per 130g packet.

Try our Cranberry and Almond Oat Cookies instead.

McVities Mini Gingerbread Men Biscuits Multipack – 88 calories per packet

These McVities Mini Gingerbread Men are the perfect study partner. They’re convenient, satisfying, and just 88 calories per bag – ideal for a quick energy boost in-between essays and revision notes.

Heinz Tomato Ketchup Sweet Sriracha is available online from Tesco, priced at £3.40 per 100ml bottle.

Indian Inspired Vegetable Nests are available in Aldi, priced at £1.99 per 200g.

Stock up on sides with our Indian-Style Fried Rice and Onion Bhajis.

Soreen Sticky Toffee Loaf – 153 calories per serving

After school (and work!) snacks help bridge the long gap between lunch and dinner, and we think this Soreen Sticky Toffee Loaf will make for a tasty option. Lightly toast it and add a slather of butter or even some jam.

Banana bread has long been the talk of the town (or our Facebook Group, we should say) – inspiring us to come up with our slimming-friendly Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips. At just 67 calories per slice, it’s less than half the calorie content of this Soreen loaf. Or you can take turns trying both!

Soreen Sticky Toffee Loaf is available in Sainsbury’s, priced at £1.60 per 260g loaf – or it’s even cheaper with your Nectar Card!

Cherry Choc Chip Ice Cream | Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly

This one’s for the sweet-toothed summer dreamers! You won’t believe this Cherry Choc Chip Ice Cream is made without a drop of cream! It’s that thick, smooth and creamy. We’ve blitzed frozen bananas into a luscious ice cream base and folded through juicy cherries and dark chocolate chunks. It’s a no-churn, fuss-free recipe that tastes just as indulgent as the real deal.

Course Dessert, Sweet Treats

Cuisine British

Keyword cherry choc chip ice cream, ice cream

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Freezing Time 7 hours hours

Servings 4

Calories 104kcal

Equipment

• Baking tray
• non-stick baking paper
• food processor or blender
• Medium mixing bowl
• 1L freezer-proof container

Ingredients

• 300 g frozen cherries
• 2 medium very ripe bananas approx 100g each peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 15 g small dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

• Line a baking tray with a sheet of non-stick baking paper. Place the sliced bananas on the lined baking tray in a single layer. Place in the freezer for 2 1/2 - 3 hours until frozen.
• When you're ready to make the ice cream, remove the bananas from the freezer and leave to soften a little for 5 minutes.
• Place the bananas, frozen cherries, lemon juice and vanilla extract in a food processor or blender and blitz for a minute or two until thick, smooth and creamy. You will need to scrape the mixture down from the side of your food processor occasionally. You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your food processor or blender.
• Working quickly, scrape the mixture into a medium mixing bowl using a spatula. Fold in the chocolate chunks and scrape into a 1 L freezer-proof container. Roughly spread out, cover with a lid and place in the freezer for about 4 hours until frozen.
• When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and leave to soften for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tip: Use very ripe bananas as they are naturally sweet and will give the ice cream a good flavour. This is a good way to use up any over ripe spotty bananas you may have.

Tip: It's worth using a good quality dark chocolate, we used small chocolate chunks with 70% cocoa solids.

Tip: If you're making this on a hot day, you can chill your mixing bowl in the fridge for a few minutes to help prevent the ice cream from melting while you fold in the chocolate. Aim to work quickly!

Ingredients

• 1 kg chicken breast cut into 2½ cm (1 inch chunks)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Henderson's relish or Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
• 100 ml sugar-free lemon lime pop like 7up Free or Sprite Zero
• 4 garlic cloves peeled and minced
• 3 tbsp tomato purée
• 2 tsp granulated sweetener
• ½ tsp ground ginger

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

• If using bamboo skewers, pop them in some water to soak.
• Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix well so that the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to marinate for 4-6 hours (or overnight is even better!).
• Once the chicken is ready, thread it onto the skewers. We find using 8 skewers works well, so you have 2 skewers per person – you can do more small skewers if you prefer.
• Place onto a hot barbecue for around 25-30 minutes, until the chicken has cooked through.

  If you want to cook these in the oven, place onto a foil lined baking tray. Place into an oven preheated to 180°C for 30 minutes, until cooked through.
• Once cooked, serve with your choice of accompaniment.

1. Minor Figures Hyper Oat Matcha – 41 calories per 100ml

When you don’t fancy forking out for a cafe-priced iced matcha, this Minor Figures Hyper Oat Matcha makes it just as delicious to prepare one at home. If you’ve never tried matcha, it’s a much gentler energy boost than coffee; you get the energy boost, without the jitters!

Oats and oat milk are both essential ingredients in our kitchen. It’s okay if you don’t fancy porridge or overnight oats, try flipping a stack of Oat Pancakes instead.

With all this good weather, our fridge is even more full with fruit than usual. That’s good news for us mixing things up with different toppings every day!

You can always take a scroll through our blog of pancake topping inspiration, if you need to.

Minor Figures Hyper Oat Matcha is available from Ocado, priced at £2.00 per carton.

2. Yeo Valley Organic Kefir with Granola Mango & Passion Fruit – 125 calories per burger

Got a busy morning ahead? A pot of Yeo Valley Organic Kefir with Granola Mango & Passion Fruit is great to reach for; while we fancied the more tropical option, you can pick up a blueberry flavoured pot, if you prefer.

Granola always makes us think about our Raspberry Mocha Granola Pots. Just imagine kick-starting your day with layers of reduced-fat cream, juicy raspberries and chocolate yoghurt over a base of chocolatey granola.

The secret is…we don’t actually use granola! We make our own from scratch with a sticky-sweet combination of syrup, oats, cocoa powder and espresso powder.

Yeo Valley Organic Kefir with Granola Mango & Passion Fruit pots are available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £1.95 (or £1.50 with a Nectar card).

3. Morrisons Pesto Salad Dressing – 81 calories per 50ml

Hands up if you love pesto! The pesto you normally get from a jar to combine with pasta is usually quite thick, while this Morrisons Pesto Salad Dressing is nice and light for drizzling.

Try it over your favourite salads to bring a zingy boost of flavour to your lunchtimes in the sun – we can promise, you won’t be disappointed! 

Whenever we host a BBQ, our guests know to expect a gorgeous green bowl of Pesto Potato Salad. By using Greek-style yoghurt instead of mayo, we’ve kept things slimming friendly without losing creaminess.

The lightly-toasted pine nuts make every bowlful look extra-impressive!

Morrisons Pesto Salad Dressing is available from Morrisons, priced at £1.40 per bottle.

4. Vivera Thai Protein Bites – 174 calories per serving

We can’t get enough of how versatile these Vivera Texmex Plant-based Protein Bites are. Handy for when you want to mix up your Veganuary menu, these protein-rich patties can be eaten as a snack, or cooked into lunches and dinners.

You could always serve them as part of a Thai-inspired spread with our fresh, aromatic Chopped Thai-Style Chicken Salad. Just be sure to swap out the chicken for a plant-based alternative, if you’re keeping things veggie-friendly.

With no shortage of vibrant vegetable ribbons and a nutty homemade sauce, it’s our go-to lunch when the sun’s shining.

Vivera Thai Protein Bites are available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £2.85 per pack (or £2.00 with a Nectar card).

5. ASDA Garlic & Herb King Prawns – 142 calories per 1/2 pack (pan-fried)

Freeze a bag of ASDA Garlic & Herb King Prawns, and you’ll have a delicious source of protein on standby for light lunches and dinners. Toss them into salads, pasta or skewer them on the barbecue – whatever you fancy!

They’re ready-brushed with a moreish garlic and parsley marinade, you’ve just got to decide how to cook them.

Frozen prawns are the star of the show in our Prawn Tikka Masala. While the sauce is luscious and thick, we’ve not used heavy cream – we’ve stirred in fat-free Greek yoghurt instead.

Served with fluffy rice and a few of your favourite Indian-inspired side dishes, that’s your next fakeaway night sorted!

ASDA Garlic & Herb King Prawns are available from Asda, priced at £3.68 per pack..

You know we can’t resist a blast from the past! These Angel Delight Strawberry & Vanilla Ice Cream Sticks come coated in a swirl of soft, mallowy strawberry and cream soft serve. 

As long as this heatwave lasts (we don’t wanna jinx it!) we’ll be enjoying them in the garden. Next time, we’ll probably pick up the Angel Delight Butterscotch & Chocolate Ice Cream Sticks to mix things up.

Want to know the best part about our Strawberry Cream Pie? It’s a no-bake recipe – ideal for sunny days! 

As good as it might look, remember not to rush trying your first slice. You want your filling to set and the intense fruity flavours to mingle first.

7. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Sweet Chilli Salmon Kebabs – 221 calories per 1/2 pack

Add something a little bit different to your barbecue spread with these Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Sweet Chilli Salmon Kebabs. 

They’re marinated in a fiery-sweet blend of jalapeno chilli, demerara sugar and honey, so that when you grill them to flaky perfection, they’re jam-packed with flavour.

Why not try them on a bed of the couscous mix from our Spicy Salmon Skewers with Couscous recipe? It’s stirred through with tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, spring onions, peppers, fresh parsley, and then topped off with a zingy homemade yoghurt drizzle.

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Sweet Chilli Salmon Kebabs are available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £6.00 for a pack of 4 skewers.

8. Morrisons Cajun-Style Chicken Breast Steaks – 153 calories per 100g (ovencooked)

If you love smoky, lightly-spiced chicken, these Morrisons Cajun Style Chicken Breast Steaks are well worth picking up. We actually made them in our air fryer, but you can pop them in the oven too – they’ll be just as tender and juicy either way.

Serve them with a side of greens or crispy salad for a fresh midweek meal.

Our Cajun-Style Dirty Rice recipe has always been a huge hit with our community, and now it’s even quicker to make – thanks to our time-saving Flava It! Sachets.

You can pick up the mix for our Flava It! Cajun-Style Dirty Rice as part of the Fakeaway-Favourites Collection Box in-store at Morrisons, or online via Amazon.

9. M&S Pistachio Tiramisu – 224 calories per tub

The best of two delicious worlds, we had to try the new M&S Pistachio Tiramisu pots. We’re talking about cocoa powder, mascarpone, pistachio mousse and coffee-soaked sponge fingers – a heavenly combination!

If you’ve got a copy of our first-ever cookbook, you’ll find our very own Tiramisu recipe on pages 240-241.

We’ve made a few simple ingredient swaps to keep things nice and light without compromising on creaminess; that’s why it comes to just 108 calories per portion!

It’s the perfect end to an Italian-inspired dinner. You can always head to our blog for more inspiration.

M&S Pistachio Tiramisu is available online from Ocado and in-store from M&S, priced at £3.00 for a pack of 2 dessert pots.

10. Passion Fruit & Mojito Cocktail Mini Pots – 77 calories per tub

Fresh and fruity, these Passion Fruit & Mojito Cocktail Mini Pots have arrived just in time for all the glorious sunshine we’re having. You’ve got a choice between two tipple-inspired sorbet flavours: passion fruit martini or mojito. 

Whichever you pick, you’ll have a treat to cool down with for less than 80 calories!

We love getting creative with our favourite cocktail flavours. Our tropical Pina Colada Ice Cream lets you save holiday flavours in the freezer all summer long.

If you’d rather skip the alcohol, you can leave it out altogether, or add a little splash of rum flavouring if you prefer. It’ll still turn out sweet, fruity and refreshing!
