Hellooooo! It’s Friday and that means your NEW Weekly Pinch of Shopping is ready. We’ve searched high and low at the supermarkets for tasty goodies you’ve never tried before…

Better yet, if you love a kick of spice, you can pick up Hellmann’s Spicy Ranch Mayo too.

Are you a lover of Patatas Bravas? This week’s list is your sign to try Patatas Carbonara. We’ll tell you where to find the ideal oven-ready pack for a tapas-style dinner, along with other gorgeous bits for a picky tea…

1. Unearthed Stuffed Green Peppers – 153 calories per 100g

When you’ve got a hankering for a light nibble, these Unearthed Stuffed Green Peppers will tickle your taste buds. The silky cream cheese filling really mellows the green pepper, so you’ve got a snack with the perfect kick of heat.

There’s no danger of spice in our Air Fryer Cheese, Onion and Sweetcorn-Stuffed Peppers, although the Dijon mustard can be quite punchy!

We’ve used tangy reduced-fat Cheddar and onion for bags of bold (yet slimming-friendly!) flavour. Turn to pages 150-151 in our Air Fryer book to try the full recipe.

Unearthed Stuffed Green Peppers are available from Asda, priced at £3.65 per pack.

2. Nush Protein Vanilla Fudge Almond Milk Yog – 107 calories per 100g

Deliciously creamy, this pot of Nush Protein Vanilla Fudge Almond Milk Yog is a winner for anyone with a sweet tooth. Enjoy it straight from the tub, or spoon some into a bowl with your go-to chopped fruits for a light snack or dessert.

Crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, we love Strawberry and Vanilla Waffles topped with sweet yoghurt, berries and a drizzle of low-sugar syrup.

You’ll know they’ve finished baking when they’re golden brown and firm to touch.

Nush Protein Vanilla Fudge Almond Milk Yog is available from Ocado, priced at £3.25 per pot.

3. Nescafe Iced Coffee Concentrated Caramel Flavour Espresso – 102 calories per glass

Far better for you and your budget than nipping out the coffee shop, it’s worth looking out for Nescafe Iced Coffee Concentrated Caramel Flavour Espresso. Add a drop to your morning latte or americano for a barista-quality coffee at home.

You can also pick up unsweetened or vanilla concentrates from the same range, if caramel isn’t your thing.

A slice of Coffee and Walnut Sponge Traybake always goes down a treat with a cuppa. 

Nescafe Iced Coffee Concentrated Caramel Flavour Espresso is available from Tesco, priced at £5.00 per bottle.

4. Cauldron Butternut and Red Chilli Bites – 99 calories per 2 bites

These Cauldron Butternut and Red Chilli Bites are so quick and simple to warm up for a light, savoury bite. A blend of roasted butternut squash, chickpeas, mozzarella cheese and fiery chilli, there’s no shortage of gorgeous plant-based flavour packed in.

Tuck into them as they are, or serve them as part of a larger veggie-friendly spread. They’d make for a stunning accompaniment to our vibrant Vegetable Coconut Curry.

Cauldron Butternut and Red Chilli Bites are available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £2.50 per pack.

5. M&S Chicken Shawarma Kebabs – 129 calories per kebab

As the weather gets better, we’re SO ready for kebab fakeaway nights! These M&S Chicken Shawarma Kebabs cut out the fuss, since they’re already marinated in middle eastern herbs, olive oil and lemon.

Rather than a fiery heat, the lemony flavours in our Za’atar Fries spice blend would pair like a dream with tangy, spicy skewers.

The best part is you can save leftovers of our homemade spice mix refrigerated in an airtight container, ready to take chicken, lamb or veg up a notch in a pinch.

M&S Chicken Shawarma Kebabs are available from M&S stores and online at Ocado, priced at £5.00 per pack.

6. Tesco Finest Smoky Chorizo and Chicken Empanadas – 89 calories per empanada

Nothing says ‘picky tea!’ like these Tesco Finest Smoky Chorizo and Chicken Empanadas. Each one is filled with chicken and smoky chorizo in a red wine tomato sauce, for only 89 calories per parcel.

Pop them in the oven or your air fryer to crisp up in minutes, ready to enjoy with tapas-inspired dishes like Garlic Chilli Prawns.

It’s easier than you might think to make Empanadas from scratch. Our slimming-friendly recipe keeps things lower in calories by using filo pastry. 

Tesco Finest Smoky Chorizo and Chicken Empanadas are available from Tesco, priced at £3.55 per pack.

7. Ninja Air Fry Pizza Slices Cheese – 374 calories per pizza air-fried

It’s interesting to see Ninja’s first-ever food range hit the shelves in Iceland! Of all the different bits to choose from (we spotted nuggets and wraps too), we went for the Ninja Air Fry Cheese Pizza Slices.

You can crisp them until golden in the oven if you want to, but air-frying definitely gets the best results. We topped ours with jalapeños and red onion.

If you like pizza, you’ll love our Air Fryer Pizza Swirls. With a tomatoey, cheesy ham and basil filling, you’ve got classic flavours wrapped up in a new, fun way.

Turn to pages 156-157 of our Air Fryer book to have them ready in 20 minutes.

Ninja Air Fry Pizza Slices Cheese are available from Iceland, priced at £2.50 for a pack of 2 slices.

8. Iceland Majestics White Choc Dipped Rhubarb and Custard – 170 calories per stick

Add something a little bit different to your freezer with Iceland Majestics White Choc Dipped Rhubarb and Custard lollies. 

The nostalgic flavour pairing of rhubarb and custard works really well as a creamy, frozen treat…especially coated in a layer of white chocolate and biscuit pieces!

Did someone say ‘biscuit’? It even surprises us that this Ninja Creami Custard Cream Ice Cream comes in at just 127 calories per bowlful.

While the crunchy-biscuit centre might seem indulgent, our base is made up with a clever blend of slimming-friendly swaps.

Iceland Majestics White Choc Dipped Rhubarb and Custard are available from Iceland, priced at £1.75 for a pack of 3 lollies.

9. Hellmann’s Creamy Ranch Mayo – 218 calories per ice cream

Creamy, herby, tangy, garlicky – what’s not to love about Hellmann’s new Creamy Ranch Mayo? If you’ve got homemade chips or chicken tenders on the menu this week, trust us and squeeze some on your plate!

It’s a delicious addition to your condiments collection. Keep an eye out for Hellmann’s Spicy Ranch Mayo if you’d prefer a squeezy bottle with a kick.

Speaking of spice, our Fiery Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks are best served with a cooling dip. Once you’ve rustled up a batch, refrigerate for a day or two, until you’re ready to put them out for a summery spread.

Hellmann’s Creamy Ranch Mayo (and Hellmann’s Spicy Ranch Mayo) is available from Tesco, priced at £2.60 per bottle.

10. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Patatas Carbonara Sharing Plates – 286 calories per 1/2 pack

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Patatas Carbonara tells us tapas season is officially here! While a medley of crispy potatoes and serrano ham in melty Cheddar and Pecorino béchamel sauce might sound too good to share, this is a ‘sharing plate’ style pack.

A small plate that’s rich and tomatoey, like our very own Spanish-Style Meatball recipe, would take your spread to the next level.

We make our meatballs from scratch and roll them slightly smaller than usual, so they’re the perfect size to soak up every last drop of sauce. The leftovers are so versatile too – serve them over pasta or salad for a cracking lunch.

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Patatas Carbonara Sharing Plates is available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £4.50 per pack.

NEW Aldi Super 6 Fruit and Veg Selection

We love Aldi’s fortnightly selection of fresh fruit and veggies! They choose different items for a special offer where you can pick them up for much less than the normal price. 

Here’s a rundown of the recipes we’d make with this week’s Super 6 offering.

Radish – 16 calories per 100g

Mild and peppery in flavour, radishes are so easy to prep and throw into salads or stir-fries. You can try them as part of the rainbow-coloured salad that’s piled high on our Katsu Curry Burgers. 

Cauliflower – 25 calories per 100g

We’re not kidding when we tell you cauliflower is so versatile! We’ve got a whole blog filled with slimming-friendly ideas you can try, if you do pick up a floret for only 99p in Aldi’s Super 6 this week.

We’ll be rustling up a batch of Air Fryer Cauliflower Hot Wings to nibble on.

Braeburn Apples – 51 calories per 100g

You can’t beat the juicy-sweet crunch of an apple. Halfway between green and red, Braeburn apples are especially refreshing to snack on throughout the day.

If you ask us, they’re even better to snack on when they’re baked into Apple Pie Cookies…

Piccolato Tomatoes – 20 calories per 100g

Similar to Piccolo tomatoes, these Piccolatoes are a little more intense in flavour, with more of a rich, juicy sweetness than your bog standard cherry tomatoes. Try adding them to our Tuscan Chicken Macaroni and thank us later!

Extra Fine Beans – 31 calories per 100g

Add a handful of Extra Fine Beans to your main meal whenever you need a boost of green goodness. It’s far from unusual to see a handful of cheesy, crispy, Air Fryer Green Beans on our plate.

Blueberries – 57 calories per 100g

Sweet little blueberries pack a punch when it comes to vitamin C and antioxidants. While they’re great for making hearty warming bowls of porridge in the winter months, we like them best in an ice cold Blueberry Mojito when the sun is shining.

1. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Limited Edition Coffee & Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns – 186 calories per bun

These Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Limited Edition Coffee & Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns would look right at home as part of an Easter breakfast spread.

With sultanas, dark chocolate chips and espresso powder swirled into the dough, they’re filled with flavours worth jumping out of bed for.

We can’t talk about coffee-infused treats without mentioning our yummy Coffee and Walnut Traybake. Every slice is topped off with smooth coffee icing and a sprinkling of walnuts for a gorgeous crunch.

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Limited Edition Coffee & Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns are available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £1.80 (or £1.25 with a Necta card) for a pack of 4 buns.

2. Mr Kipling Deliciously Good Hot Cross Pies – 192 calories per pie

With 30% less sugar compared to other similar fruity treats, these Mr Kipling Deliciously Good Hot Cross Pies are worth adding to your snack rotation this week. 

The spiced-fruit filling is delicious all on its own, or you can heat them up to serve with a scoop of ice cream for more indulgence.

We happen to know that our Ninja Creami Custard Cream Ice Cream would pair like a dream! While the crunchy-biscuit centre might seem indulgent, we’ve used low-calorie swaps to keep things nice and light at 127 per portion.

Mr Kipling Deliciously Good Hot Cross Pies are available from Tesco, priced at £2.00 for a pack of 6 pies.

3. SUMMER GRILL by ASDA Minted Lamb Kebabs – 105 calories per kebab

Try serving lamb a bit differently this Easter with these SUMMER GRILL by ASDA Minted Lamb Kebabs. They come ready-infused with a fragrant minty seasoning, so all that’s left for you to do is pop them in your air fryer until they’re grilled to perfection.

The beauty of lamb kebabs is that they’ll pair with a variety of different side dishes. We’d go for a fresh, minty-green bowl of vibrant Tabbouleh – especially if we get lucky and the sun is shining!

You could even add some hummus and sliced pitta for a ‘picky bits’ style dinner.

If you’re on the lookout for more inspiration for the bank holiday weekend, have a scroll through our blog full of Easter recipe ideas.

SUMMER GRILL by ASDA Minted Lamb Kebabs are available from Asda, priced at £6.48 for a pack of 12 kebabs.

4. Sainsbury’s Custard Cream Twists with a Hot Cross Bun Flavour Filling – 63 calories per biscuit

Anytime we see a classic treat with a fresh twist, we have to buy it – and that’s exactly what you get with Sainsbury’s Custard Cream Twists with a Hot Cross Bun Flavour Filling.

We think you’ll agree they taste a little bit different (in a good way), and since they’re hot cross bun flavoured, it’d be rude not to try them with a cuppa…

Creme Eggs are a staple Easter treat, and yet there’s not a single one in sight for our very own Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes.

We’ve used a nifty combo of real icing and a drop of food colouring to make the gooey filling everyone says tastes just like the shop-bought eggs!

Sainsbury’s Custard Cream Twists with a Hot Cross Bun Flavour Filling are available from Sainsbury’s, priced at 65p (or 50p with a Nectar card) per pack.

5. M&S Cracked Shell Chocolate Sauce – 62 calories per 10g squeeze (approx.)

There’s no need to run for the ice cream van with M&S Cracked Shell Chocolate Sauce at home. It only takes a single squeeze or a quick drizzle to take a humble bowl of homemade ice cream to the next level.

As soon as the sauce touches the ice cream it hardens and cracks, making for a really delicious touch.

If you’re trying to stay on track over the next couple of weeks, slimming-friendly chocolate treats are your best friend!

Our batch of Mini Egg Brownies might look and taste impressive, and yet we’ve kept the calories down to just 78 calories per squidgy square.

M&S Cracked Shell Chocolate Sauce is available from M&S stores and online at Ocado, priced at £2.50 per bottle.

6. Wall’s Twister Ice Lollies Mini Mallow – 71 calories per lolly

Rain or shine, the whole family will love these Wall’s Twister Ice Lollies in Mini Mallow flavour. With raspberry-apple ice coated in swirls of marshmallow, they’re great to reach for when you fancy something sweet at a moment’s notice.

Since the kids are at home, why not get everyone involved making a fun-filled batch of FABulous Lollies?

We’ve kept things really simple with a short list of ingredients, so there are no hidden nasties to worry about here.

You’ll need to freeze your colourful layers one by one but trust us – they’re well worth the wait!

Wall’s Twister Ice Lollies Mini Mallow are available from Asda, priced at £1.98 for a box of 6 lollies.

7. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Smoky Beef Brisket Quarter Pounder Burgers – 200 calories per burger

What’s more fun than a burger night at home? These Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Smoky Beef Brisket Quarter Pounder Burgers cut out the effort without compromising on flavour. 

Grill them to your liking, then pile them high with your favourite burger toppings.

You could always serve a shareable platter of our crowdpleasing Dirty Fries at the centre of the table, if you’ve got guests coming over.

Trust us, they’ll think you ordered them from a takeaway – they’re THAT good!

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Smoky Beef Brisket Quarter Pounder Burgers are available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £4.25 for a pack of 4 burgers.

8. Black Cherry Hard Seltzer – 106 calories per can

These Black Cherry Hard Seltzer have arrived just in time for sunnier weather! A fizzy blend of fruity flavours, these grab-and-go cans come in at just 106 calories each.

With notes of cherry and cranberry paired with vodka, they’re the perfect (adults only!) refreshment for picnics and buffets.

There’s nothing better than sipping on a refreshing drink with tasty snacks! These bite-sized Chicken Satay Skewers are a doddle to make and they’ll keep nicely until you’re ready to serve them.

Black Cherry Hard Seltzer is available from Aldi, priced at £1.09 per can.

9. M&S Dippy Egg Filled Hot Cross Buns – 99 calories per bun

There’s been a lot of fuss online about these M&S Dippy Egg Filled Hot Cross Buns. We managed to grab the last pack at our local store and it’s fair to say, they’re in demand!

We warmed them up gently in our air fryer for just a few minutes, to get the most from that gorgeously gooey fondant centre.

Our review? These deliciously different hot cross buns are worth the hype!

If it’s a decadent Easter surprise you’re after, whip up our brand-new Creme Egg Lava Cakes. A chocolate lover’s dream, they look and taste so indulgent for only 210 calories per ramekin.

M&S Dippy Egg Filled Hot Cross Buns are available from M&S stores and online at Ocado, priced at £3.50 for a pack of 6 buns.

10. Tesco Chocolate Orange Carrot Cheesecake Slices – 335 calories per slice

If you’ve got no time to bake this week, these Tesco Chocolate Orange Carrot Cheesecake Slices have you covered. We’re talking about chocolate-orange cheesecake on a chocolatey biscuit base, topped with green-coloured white chocolate ganache.

The adorable carrot-inspired design looks good enough to fool the Easter Bunny!

If you want to take things up a notch for a special occasion, you can always make one single impressive carrot cake, following our recipe for individual Carrot Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.

You can buy all sorts of fun decorations in supermarkets at the moment; a bit of edible glitter, sprinkles or cute fondant carrots would look fab!

Tesco Chocolate Orange Carrot Cheesecake Slices are available from Tesco, priced at £3.50 for a pack of 2 slices.

1. Danone Skyr 0% Fat High Protein Vanilla Yoghurt Drink – 162 calories per drink

This Danone Skyr 0% Fat High Protein Vanilla Yoghurt Drink is a delightfully light, satisfying refreshment. The fat-free blend of Skyr and vanilla flavourings is rich, smooth and indulgent-tasting, all while coming in at just 162 calories per bottle.

A sip would go down nicely with a sunny plate of our Strawberry and Vanilla Waffles. To get the vanilla flavourings into our waffle mixture, we’ve used an easy combination of vanilla extract, syrup and sweetener.

We like to blitz our oats to a fine, flour-like texture for fluffy results every time! 

Danone Skyr 0% Fat High Protein Vanilla Yoghurt Drink is available from Tesco, priced at £1.50 per bottle.

2. Tesco Gut Sense Rhubarb & Ginger Kefir Yoghurt – 93 calories per 115g

It’s always good to have yoghurt on standby for a light snack. We picked up a tub of Tesco’s Gut Sense Rhubarb & Ginger Kefir Yoghurt, but you might prefer to take home their Red Berries & Cherry Kefir Yogurt flavour.

Good for your gut, a dollop will go down nicely with sliced fruits, granola or cereal.

If this one’s up your street, you’ll love waking up to a hearty bowl of Rhubarb and Custard Overnight Oats. Inspired by the retro boiled sweet, we’ve topped our punchy, ginger-infused rhubarb layer with a slimming-friendly homemade custard.

You’ll never guess the ingredient we’ve used to thicken things up: chia seeds!

Tesco Gut Sense Rhubarb & Ginger Kefir Yoghurt is available from Tesco, priced at £1.50 per pot.

3. Plant Menu Garlic & Herb No Chicken Pieces – 152 calories per 80g serving (cooked)

If you’re on a mission to eat less meat, or following a vegetarian diet, you’ll love these Plant Menu Garlic & Herb No Chicken Pieces. This meat-free Monday wonder livens up wraps, sandwiches, tacos, salads or stir-fries with next to no fuss.

You can keep the box in the freezer, ready to pop in the oven or air fryer until cooked through and flavourful.

Why not toss them into a summery lunch like our Chicken and Bacon Caesar Salad? Paired with a bacon alternative, you’ll be onto a veggie-friendly lunchtime winner.

We’ve managed to ditch heaps of calories by swapping the classic high-calorie drizzle for our own fat-free version. Don’t worry, it’s just as garlicky!

Plant Menu Garlic & Herb No Chicken Pieces are available from Aldi, priced at £1.59 per pack.

4. Pukpip Banana Bites Dipped In Dark Chocolate – 104 calories per portion

A secret supply of these Pukpip Banana Bites Dipped in Dark Chocolate is the best kind of stash! You’ve got the cool creaminess of banana, coupled with a light layer of luxurious-tasting dark chocolate.

They’re spot on for curbing sweet cravings at only 104 calories per heaped handful.

Keep them in the freezer ready to grab and snack on straight away, or let them thaw for a few minutes first – if you can resist!

Warm, sweet AND spicy, our Banana Bread Pudding is the ultimate banana-based treat. It’s up to you if you fancy taking things up a notch with a glug of custard or a scoop of ice cream, but one thing’s for sure…it’s a must-try with a cuppa!

Pukpip Banana Bites Dipped In Dark Chocolate are available from Ocado, priced at £3.50 per bag.

5. Nescafe Iced Coffee Caramel Flavour Latte Multiserve – 92 calories per 250ml serve

As soon as the sun shines, we’re ready to order an iced coffee. This Nescafe Iced Coffee Caramel Flavour Latte Multiserve is far better for you and your budget than visiting your local coffee shop, and yet you can recreate the indulgence by serving it in a tall glass over ice.

You can also pick up a plain Nescafe Iced Coffee Latte Multiserve, if you’d rather skip the sweetness.

Our Raspberry Mocha Granola Pots are a gorgeous breakfast option for coffee lovers. Infused with espresso, cocoa powder and sticky-sweet maple syrup, those oats are worth the effort of digging right to the bottom of the pot…

Nescafe Iced Coffee Caramel Flavour Latte Multiserve is available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £3.00 (or £2.50 with a Nectar card).

6. Morrisons Lemon Sorbet Ice Cream Cones – 174 calories per cone

When life gives you sunshine, hunt down Morrisons’ Lemon Sorbet Ice Cream Cones! As if lip-smacking lemony ice cream wasn’t delicious enough, it’s all topped off with a tart lemon sauce and served in a chocolate-covered biscuit cone.

Take a scroll through our favourite slimming-friendly things to make with lemons by tapping here.

This deliciously fruity Raspberry Sorbet is fabulous to CHILL out with! The full recipe is from pages 220-221 of our Express book, so you know the combination of raspberries, syrup and lemon juice will be low-fuss to prep.

Morrisons Lemon Sorbet Ice Cream Cones are available from Morrisons, priced at £1.50 for a box of 4 cones.

7. The Gym Kitchen Original Chicken Sausages – 127 calories per 2 sausages

There’s nothing boring about these The Gym Kitchen Original Chicken Sausages; they’re infused with a roasted onion seasoning that really gives the savoury goodness a boost. 

Try them air-fried to perfection for breakfast or lunch, or serve them over a fluffy portion of classic mash with gravy. 

If you’d prefer a kick of spice, you can pick up The Gym Kitchen Piri Piri Chicken Sausages from the same range for a few extra calories.

This Herby Sausage Orzo is our go-to when we’ve got a pack of bangers to use up. Unlike risotto rice, orzo only needs a stir from time to time, so this one-pot is gloriously effortless to make.

The Gym Kitchen Original Chicken Sausages are available from Tesco, priced at £3.25 (or £2.50 with a Clubcard) per pack.

8. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Barber Cheese & Ham Kyiv – 339 calories per kyiv

Can’t decide what to make for tea? These Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Barber Cheese & Ham Kyivs are just the ticket. The combination of cheddar, smoked ham and chicken is coated in a crispy layer of breadcrumbs that’ll bake until golden in less than half an hour in the air fryer (or 40 minutes in your oven).

They’ll make for a hearty, effortless home-cooked meal next to a leafy-green salad and a portion of Rustic Potato Wedges. We’ve used a combination of paprika, mixed herbs and sea salt on our wedges, but there are so many other different herbs and spices that would also work just as well – you might fancy adding a touch of garlic!

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Barber Cheese & Ham Kyiv is available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £4.00 for a pack that serves 2.

9. M&S Only 1 Ingredient Corn Flakes – 116 calories per 30g serving

There’s a good chance you’ve heard about M&S’ Only 1 Ingredient Corn Flakes. With no sugar or hidden nasties, and the ingredients list placed right on the front of the box (yep, just ‘corn’), it’s a bit of a game changer in the cereal aisle.

We tried them and the taste was definitely…unique! If you pick up a box, we’d love to hear your thoughts in our Facebook group.

To liven them up a bit, you could always transform your golden flakes into our Summer Berry Dessert. We’ve used layers of quark, berries, sweetener, vanilla extract and a sprig of mint to make this light after-dinner treat.

M&S Only 1 Ingredient Corn Flakes are available from M&S stores and online at Ocado, priced at £2.50 per box.

10. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Rhubarb & Custard Crumble Ice Cream – 139 calories per scoop

Is it just us, or are the freezer aisles starting to fill up with lots of exciting ice cream flavours? This tub of Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Rhubarb & Custard Crumble Ice Cream had to come home with us.

It’s a heavenly medley of Madagascan vanilla and West Country ice cream, swirled with rhubarb conserve and crumble pieces. 

We’ve already started whipping up lots of different sweet treats with our Ninja Creami, including this luscious Custard Cream Ice Cream recipe.

NEW Aldi Super 6 Fruit and Veg Selection

We love Aldi’s fortnightly selection of fresh fruit and veggies! They choose different items for a special offer where you can pick them up for much less than the normal price. 

Here’s a rundown of the recipes we’d make with this week’s Super 6 offering.

Baby Corn – 26 calories per 100g

A crunchy handful of baby corn always goes down a treat in fried rice dishes, stir-fries and curries. It adds the perfect bite to our much-loved Fried Rice Chinese-Style Fakeaway when you fancy takeaway flavours at home.

Celery – 14 calories per 100g

Not only is celery great in base sauces, stews and soups, it’s also great to nibble on – especially dunked into a homemade dip!

Celery cooks down nicely to boost the flavours cooking sauces for lots of wholesome dishes, like our Creamy Tomato Pasta.

Plums – 46 calories per 100g

You don’t see soft, juicy plums in the Super 6 offer very often, so stock up while you can! They’re a key ingredient for our vibrant Sticky Plum and Chicken Traybake on pages 174-175 of our Express book.

Seasonal Pears – 55 calories per 100g

These seasonal pears work really well in homely oven-bakes like our slimming-friendly Pear and Ginger Crumble. Just the ticket to cosy up with…it’s up to you if you fancy adding a glug of Custard!

Green Beans – 31 calories per 100g

Whether you’re throwing them into stir-fries, tossing them in salads, or stirring them into curries, extra fine green beans are always a winner.

Ready in under 10 minutes, you can always rely on our Air Fryer Crispy Green Beans recipe to add a pop of garlicky green goodness to any plate. All for only 79 calories per serving!

Golden Delicious Apples – 49 calories per 100g

Less tangy than other green apples, Golden Delicious Apples are nice and juicy – perfect for slicing up or biting straight into!

Try adding a few beautifully sweet slices to a warming bowl of Apple Pie Porridge tomorrow morning.

1. Almond and Cherry Pressed Fruit and Nut Bars – 133 calories per bar

It’s always a good idea to have a stash of slimming-friendly snacks on standby. These Almond and Cherry Pressed Fruit and Nut Bars are absolutely spot on for busier days; they’re bursting with fruity flavours, fibre and B12 for only 133 calories per bar.

Your air fryer is ideal for making your very own cherry-packed treat at home (you can use your oven if you’d like). Turn to page 174 to try our Air Fryer Cherry Bakewell Slices – they’re delightfully light at only 91 calories each.

Our top tip is to undercook the cakes ever so slightly, and then leave them to cool in the tin. You’ll be left with a scrumptious, squidgy-in-the-middle batch every time.

Almond and Cherry Pressed Fruit and Nut Bars are available from Ocado and M&S, priced at £3.20 for a pack of 4 bars.

2. Iceland Cheese and Onion Rolls – 145 calories per 3 rolls

These Cheese and Onion Rolls from Iceland will be crispy and golden after just 12-14 minutes in the air fryer, or 22 minutes in the oven. Filled with a classic combination of cheese and onion and coated in a crispy layer of flaky puff pastry, you really can’t go wrong.

We’ve said goodbye to pastry with our Air Fryer Cheese and Onion Bakes by using lower-calorie sandwich thins to hold our gooey filling. Tuck into them as a grab-and-go snack, or plate them up with a side of chips for a hearty midweek dinner.

You can find even more slimming-friendly inspiration for what to make with sandwich thins here. 

Iceland Cheese and Onion Rolls are available from Iceland, priced at £2.50 per pack.

3. Mash Direct Potato Croquettes – 169 calories per 2 croquettes

Everybody loves croquettes! Pop these Mash Direct Potato Croquettes in your air fryer and you’ll have a savoury, crunchy-coated bite that’s ready in less than 15 minutes. 

Just make sure you give them a good shake part way through cooking, so you know they’re evenly crispy on all sides. 

To make croquettes from scratch, flick to the Air Fryer Viking Croquettes on page 144. We’ve combined punchy mustard with cheese, onion and creamy mashed potatoes, inspired by our viral Viking Toast recipe.

For more of the same flavours, take a scroll through our blog on what to make next if you love Viking Toast.

Mash Direct Potato Croquettes are available from Tesco, priced at £2.30 for a pack of 6 croquettes.

4. Iceland Sausage Breakfast Patties – 137 calories per pan-fried patty

When you’re too busy to make your own from scratch, these Iceland Sausage Breakfast Patties are a tasty sandwich filler. Stack them into a muffin with a runny fried egg, or pop them on toast with poached eggs, for a flipping delicious addition to your morning menu.

You might be able to guess that our Air Fryer Sausage and Egg Muffin is inspired by a certain fast food chain! We’ve used lean pork mince to create juicy homemade sausage patties, and piled them high with light burger cheese slices on fluffy English muffins.

Crack your eggs into ovenproof ramekins and they’ll cook nicely alongside your patties.

Iceland Sausage Breakfast Patties are available from Iceland, priced at £2.50 for a pack of 6 patties.

5. Muller Corner Bliss Lemon Greek-Style Yoghurt – 163 calories per pot

Take a minute for yourself with a pot of Muller Corner Bliss Lemon Greek-Style Yoghurt. It’s a thick, luxurious-tasting blend of whipped Greek-style yoghurt, cream and smooth lemon sauce.

While we went for the lemony option, there’s a Muller Corner Bliss Cheesecake Inspired Whipped Greek Style Salted Caramel Yoghurt you can take home too.

If you love citrus flavours, you need to try a slice of Air Fryer Orange and Lemon Cake. When your loaf is risen and almost ready, you’ll baste the outside with an extra layer of fruit juice, to guarantee every mouthful packs a zingy punch!

Muller Corner Bliss Lemon Greek-Style Yoghurt is available from Sainsbury’s, priced at £3.00 (or £2.00 with a Nectar card) for a pack of 4 pots.

6. TruFru Blueberries White & Dark Chocolate – 84 calories per 1/7 pack

You can take a humble bowl of fat-free Greek yoghurt to the next level with these TrüFrü White and Dark Chocolate covered Blueberries. Great as a light snack or dessert option, each sweet berry comes ready-coated in a silky layer of dark and white chocolate.

We like to chop them up a bit to make their juicy, chocolatey crunch go even further!

As soon as we hear the word ‘blueberry’, we can’t stop thinking about how yummy our Air Fryer White Chocolate and Blueberry Muffins are. You’ll find the full recipe on page 178.

One batch this speedy recipe makes 12 muffins, so there should be plenty to go around!

TruFru Blueberries White & Dark Chocolate is available from Waitrose, priced at £4.50 per pack.

7. Iceland Little Jacket Potatoes – 126 calories per air-fried jacket potato

You can always rely on the humble jacket potato to brighten up lunchtimes! These Little Jacket Potatoes from Iceland might be smaller, but they’re as fluffy and satisfyingly crispy-skinned as their larger counterparts.

They only take half an hour to bake until golden in the air fryer from frozen, or you can pop them in the microwave for 4 minutes if you’re really in a hurry!

Next time you’re stuck and wondering what to have for lunch, take a look at our Air Fryer Fluffy Jacket Potatoes with Spicy Tuna on page 138.

Top it off with your choice of filling, or use our fiery blend of tuna, crunchy red pepper, onion and sriracha.

Iceland Little Jacket Potatoes are available from Iceland, priced at £2.75 for a pack of 6.

8. Birds Eye Captain’s Discoveries Tortilla Crumb Mexican Inspired Fish Fillets – 188 calories per fillet

We absolutely love to spot anything new from Birds Eye! These Birds Eye Captain’s Discoveries Tortilla Crumb Mexican Inspired Fish Fillets are bound to make for a flavourful, yet light dinnertime bite.

The Basa fillets are coated in a crispy crumb made from lime-infused tortilla chips – a dollop of salsa and a side of rice and beans would pair like a dream.

When it comes to crispy-coated fish dinners, it’s tough to find anything tastier than our Air Fryer Fish and Chips Fishcakes. We’ve taken all the best bits of a chippy tea, rolled them into tasty panko-breadcrumbed patties.

Add a spoonful (or two!) of our lemony mayo and tartare sauce to round off all the chip-shop goodness on your plate.

Birds Eye Captain’s Discoveries Tortilla Crumb Mexican Inspired Fish Fillets are available from Morrisons, priced at £4.00 for a pack of 2 fillets.

9. Ashfields Italian-Style Sausages – 194 calories per sausage

You’ll want to keep an eye out for these Ashfields Italian-Style Sausages in the refrigerated aisle at Aldi – they’re brimming with flavour! To make them extra special, they’re filled with Tuscan-style pork and seasoned with garlic and herbs.

You can air-fry them until juicy and flavourful as they are, or chop them into a variety of delicious, budget-friendly dinners.

We tend to use reduced-fat pork sausages to cut the calories down in our Air Fryer Sausage Pasta Bake on page 110. The whole thing is dished up straight from the air fryer in just half an hour, leaving behind minimal pots and pans to clean.

Ashfields Italian-Style Sausages are available from Aldi, priced at £1.25 for a pack of 6 bangers.

10. Waitrose Cinnamon Bun Dairy Ice Cream – 126 calories per 1/6 pot

If you love cinnamon as much as we do at Pinch of Nom, add a tub of this Waitrose Cinnamon Bun Dairy Ice Cream to your basket. The velvety cinnamon-flavoured scoop has a ripple of warming spices and chunks of sponge scattered through, making it pure cinnamon heaven!

Our lovely little Air Fryer Cinnamon Breakfast Buns on page 48 always start the day right. It only takes a few minutes to roll and fill a whole batch, then you just leave them to bake and top with a sticky-sweet glaze.

They’re perfect for a brekkie spread with chopped fresh fruits and sweetened fat-free yoghurt.

Waitrose Cinnamon Bun Dairy Ice Cream is available from Waitrose, priced at £3.40 per tub.

NEW Aldi Super 6 Fruit and Veg Selection

We love Aldi’s fortnightly selection of fresh fruit and veggies! They choose different items for a special offer where you can pick them up for much less than the normal price. 

Here’s a rundown of the recipes we’d make with this week’s Super 6 offering.

Red Grapes – 69 calories per 100g

We love snacking on a refreshing punnet of grapes. It might sound a bit strange, but grapes add a gorgeous burst of juicy sweetness to fresh, summery salads like our Chicken Walford Salad.

Limes – 30 calories per 100g

A squeeze of lime gives countless recipes a gorgeous lift. It’s a key ingredient for a colourful, Mexican-style feast with our Honey and Lime Pork Nachos at the centre.

Conference Pears – 64 calories per 100g

Now’s the perfect season to tuck into a cosy bowl of crumble, filled with juicy-sweet apples, pears or berries. You can have our Pear and Ginger Crumble ready in less than 30 minutes.

White Mushrooms – 22 calories per 100g

The beauty of mushrooms is that you can add them to just about any savoury dish and they won’t just boost the nutrients, they’ll ramp up the flavours too. 

This week’s Super 6 gives you two of the major veggies for our showstopping Chicken, Mushroom and Leek Lasagne.

Leeks – 61 calories per 100g

Leeks are an essential spring green as far as we’re concerned. We’ll find any excuse to use them, from lasagne (above) through to hearty soups. 

Add our Cheesy Leek Risotto to your midweek menu for gloriously creamy indulgence.

Chantenay Carrots – 35 calories per 100g

After a busy day, nothing is better than baking everything on one easy-peasy dish. This Lemon and Garlic Chicken Traybake recipe leaves carrots tender and full of flavour from its lipsmacking garlicky glaze.

These gorgeous, crispy chips are specially shaped to scoop up as much dip as possible. Why use cutlery when you can use chips instead?

NEW Aldi Super 6 Fruit and Veg Selection

We love Aldi’s fortnightly selection of fresh fruit and veggies! They choose different items for a special offer where you can pick them up for much less than the normal price. 

Here’s a rundown of the recipes we’d make with this week’s Super 6 offering.

Carrots – 41 calories per 100g

A bag of carrots never goes to waste in our kitchen – we’ll always find a tasty place to put them, from pies and soups to salads and even cakes.

There’s no such thing as a boring roast dinner with an eye-catching side of Maple-Glazed Carrots involved.

Salad Potatoes – 75 calories per 100g

While they might look similar to baby potatoes, salad potatoes are a little more dense and hold their shape nicely, even after being cooked.

Why not make a refreshing portion of our Potato Salad to pair with your lunchtime protein? Chop in some pickles for tangy bursts of freshness.

Kiwi – 16 calories per 100g

Kiwis are a juicy pick-me-up fruit packed with immune-boosting vitamins; they’re well worth having in the fridge to reach for when you need a little treat. 

You can never go wrong with a mood-boosting batch of adorable Fruity Cupcakes.

Oranges – 47 calories per 100g

You can grab a bag of oranges for 89p this week from Aldi. Peel them, slice them or squeeze them to make the most of their zesty goodness – we’ll be using them to marinate the Sticky Harissa and Orange Chicken recipe on page 122 of our Budget cookbook.

Spring Onions – 32 calories per 100g

With a burst of fresh, vibrant flavour, spring onions are always handy to have in the fridge. From salads and stir-fries to a simple garnish, they add a mild punch of flavour wherever they’re sprinkled.

We shed them into parcels made from lettuce for our Mongolian Crispy Lamb recipe.

Mini Apples – 53 calories per 100g

You’ve got to love a crunchy mini apple. An easy way to give your day a sweet boost (and for only 53 calories), we love to keep them handy to snack on.

They’re also scrummy chopped into fruit salads, baked into warming sweet treats, or as a wintery porridge topper for our Apple Pie Porridge.
