Ingredients and Method

Feeling sluggish and tired? Switch over to low-GI cooking with our recipes.

These recipes go along with the eating plan in the August 2010 issue of Shape magazine. They are all low GI recipes.

Low GI bran muffins

These muffins are so deliciously moist they don’t even need margarine or butter.

Gabi’s salad dressing

To make a fat free dressing, simply leave out the oil. This dressing can be kept out of the fridge for up to two weeks.

Chicken casserole

This is a delicious, quick and easy casserole to prepare. Once in the oven, sit back and enjoy a drink while the chicken cooks itself.

Broccoli and mushroom salad

Broccoli is one of the most vitamin dense vegetables around. Full of anti oxidants, and fibre, here’s a great broccoli side dish for the dinner table.

Mexican bean snack

This unusual dish is a quick and easy meal for a lazy-night dinner or unexpected visitors.

Roasted sweet potatoes

Potatoes have a high GI. But sweet potatoes and baby potatoes with skin have a lower GI. Use this low fat roasting method to slim your waistline.

Curried mince

Try this curried mince recipe with Barley. Barley is high in soluble fibre, which actively binds cholesterol and also helps with blood glucose control.

Chicken spaghetti bolognaise

Cut out fat by using chicken breasts instead of beef mince in this favourite winter comfort food.
