Breakfast
These days you can pretty much adapt any breakfast item to be low carb… including – waffles! This recipe‘s serving suggestion is a caramelised banana and fresh strawberries. Ditch the banana if you’re limiting carb intake to a minimum.

Snack
Have you ever tried making fried cauliflower? It’s the perfect snack that satisfies any mid-morning hunger pangs. Served with a generous portion of whipped hummus dip. If you aren’t eating chickpeas, swap out the hummus with a some thick Greek Yoghurt or flavoured cream cheese.

Lunch/dinner
For a light and veggie driven Spring-time meal, you can’t beat courgetti with peas, pancetta and goat’s cheese. The best part? It’s ready to eat in 20 minutes!

Dessert
Lemon cheesecake is always a hit. It’s simple, elegant and has a mouth-puckering moreishness that keeps you coming back for more! Add this low carb version to your Pinterest board stat!
