Many go-to picnic foods – such as chicken drumsticks, boiled eggs and boiled or oven-baked new potatoes – are Slimming World Free Foods, meaning you can eat them until you’re satisfied, with no weighing, counting or measuring needed.
Dips and crudités are great for packing more veg into your picnics.
Load up a lunch box with sliced cucumber, plum tomatoes, carrot or celery batons, slivers of roasted red peppers, reduced-fat cheese and crispbreads to dip into slimming-friendly houmous or tzatziki.
A big bowl of salad is ideal for sharing outside with your favourite people – and we’re not talking about a few lettuce leaves and slices of cucumber and tomato.
With so many Free Foods to choose from, you can get as creative as you like with Slimming World salads.
Pasta is ideal picnic fare, and brilliant for using up any leftover lean cooked meat, fish or veggies – just chop them up and stir them in.
Filling falafels are perfect with a dip or stuffed into a pitta pocket.
Give our new air fryer falafels a go, made with lentil and rocket for a real punch of flavour.
Sarnies are always a picnic winner, and you absolutely can have bread when you’re Food Optimising – or if you prefer, you could give your butties a crunchy twist by using crispbreads, or a Free Food twist by stuffing our tortilla-style omelette wraps with your favourite sandwich filling.
