Festive breakfast with a sprinkle of spice... Gingerbread overnight bix 🎄🔥!
It takes minutes to prep, sets overnight and you wake up to a protein-packed breakfast with all the delicious festive flavours 🎄✨.

Just crush two wheat biscuits and mix with fat-free Greek yogurt and spices (like cinnamon and ginger).
Top with banana and more yogurt, sprinkle with cinnamon and add a mini gingerbread man (2.5 Syns) – then just pop it in the fridge overnight. So simple and so tasty 😍!

🎄Recipe of the Week 🎄

🍫Chocolate-drizzled meringue kisses💋

Pop these light and airy bites into a gift box for a thoughtful pressie – or into your mouth for a sweet treat!

½ Syn each
1 hour 30 minutes plus 20 minutes cooling
Makes 60

🤩Ingredients 🤩

⭐️2 medium egg whites
⭐️60g caster sugar
⭐️40g dark chocolate, broken into squares
⭐️Edible lustre or glitter, to decorate (optional)

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Preheat your oven to 120°C/fan 100°C/gas ½ and line a large baking tray with baking paper. In a large glass bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand whisk until they form medium-stiff peaks.

⭐️Add the sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking for 30 seconds between each addition. When all the sugar is used up and the meringue is glossy and holds its shape, stop whisking. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a fluted nozzle, and carefully pipe 60 kisses onto the tray by squeezing down gently, then lifting the piping bag straight up. Bake for 1 hour, or until the meringues are crisp and lift easily from the paper. Turn off the oven, prop open the door and leave them inside to cool.

⭐️Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir it occasionally, until it’s melted and glossy. (Or you could microwave the chocolate on medium for 30-second intervals.)

⭐️Using a teaspoon, evenly drizzle the chocolate over the kisses. Spray with some lustre or scatter over the glitter (if using) and leave until the chocolate has completely cooled. If you’re gifting the kisses, carefully pack them into gift boxes or bags (we recommend 10 per gift).

These kisses can be baked up to three days ahead. Keep them somewhere cool and dry until you’re ready to wrap them up and delight your loved ones!

Day 1

Every day for the next 7 days I'll select a photo that's related and means something to me.

There will be no explanation to the photo. The photo will give me the positive motivation to keep me on the right track each day and show the impact that Slimming World has had on me and the wider community.

I'll nominate 1 person who has to nominate someone of their own. Let’s see how long we can keep it going…

I nominate Slimming world Erskine Bishopton and Renfrew 😍

Did you now that the Slimming World plan allows you to eat normal foods and lose weight. One of my favourite dishes is steak and chips 😋

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

Steak and chips

It’s a classic – and totally Free!

🥩🍟Ingredients 🥩🍟

⭐️1 large baking potato, cut into chips
⭐️Low-calorie cooking spray
⭐️1 lean beef steak, visible fat removed
⭐️2-3 tbsp fat-free natural fromage frais
⭐️1 level tsp Dijon mustard
⭐️Mixed salad, to serve

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Cook the chips in a saucepan of boiling water over a high heat for 10 minutes, or until just starting to soften. Drain, return to the pan and shake to roughen the edges a little.

⭐️Tip the chips into a non-stick baking tray, spritz with low-calorie cooking spray and toss well. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until they’re done how you like them, then season with a little salt.

⭐️When the chips have 15 minutes to go, spray a non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Lightly season the steak and cook for 2½ minutes on each side for medium rare, or 3 minutes on each side for medium. Remove from the heat, cover the steak with foil and set aside for at least 5 minutes to rest.

⭐️In a small serving pot, mix the forage frais with the mustard. Serve the steak and chips with the mustard sauce and the mixed salad.
