Slimmers World Quick Quiche

Slimmers world really can help you to lose weight and it really is amazing just what you can eat. Having lost nearly a stone in less than 8 weeks its a healthy and easy way to lose extra pounds without depriving yourself of really good and filling foods and I can assure you that you will not go hungry. To be honest I am always surprised when I lose any weight as I can assure you I really do eat anything from shepherds pie, lasagna, full English breakfasts are the norm and of course I like a glass of wine or 3. It really is just a matter of food optimising and although I could not really tell you how it works or why, I just know that it does. Below is one of my favourite recipe for a free snack throughout the day or even as a meal served with homemade chips and beans or a nice refreshing salad.

Homemade Tuna & Sweetcorn quiche

3 Eggs
tin of tuna in brine
small tin of sweetcorn or baked beans if you prefer
mushrooms
sprinkle of grated cheese (optional)



Mix all ingredients together and pour into a Pyrex dish (I use the lid of one of mine) or something ovenproof,  then simply bake in a medium heat in the oven for 20mins. When its complete you can serve as suggested above or cut into pieces and keep in the fridge for a hand free snack anytime.


I will be adding more slimming world recipes and if you have one to share I would love to hear from you.
