Healthy Summer Sides & Weight Loss Treats

Healthy sides and treats to add to your Jenny Craig menu this summer

Summer is known for an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, including capsicum, tomato and watermelon.  Fresh fruits and vegetables are high in fibre, helping to keep you feeling fuller for longer, and high in water which is great to help keep you hydrated and feeling cooler throughout the hot weather. The low energy-density, or low kilojoule content of these nutritious foods is an added benefit to help keep you on track with your weight loss goals.

If sweet is your preference, we’ve got some delicious weight loss treats to satisfy you! Summer is perfect for ice cream and icy poles/popsicles, so you’ll love our healthy Watermelon Popsicles and Banana Ice Cream. Salads are a refreshing summer accompaniment to any meal and we think you’re going to love our Cucumber, Capsicum, Basil, Lime and Chilli Salad. Our Salsa Verde Dip is sure to be a tasty snack paired with your favourite vegetable crudités.
