Discover our selection of Jenny Craig meals designed to keep you warm and satisfied during the chilly months, and a collection of tasty recipes to tantalize your taste buds.

 

Cozy and Satisfying Breakfast Options for Chilly Days

 

Bowl of porridge topped with fruit and nuts

Hazelnut & Cinnamon Porridge

Waking up on a cold morning doesn’t have to be difficult when breakfast is a bowl of Jenny Craig’s Hazelnut & Cinnamon Porridge.

For a warming breakfast, accompany with a Chai Spiced Poached Pear. Or enjoy your porridge with a serve of canned peaches and pears, however, be sure to choose canned fruit in natural juice rather than syrup.

 

 

Two onion fritters served on a plate with a side salad

Caramelised Onion Fritters

Eggs for breakfast? Our Caramelised Onion Fritters are great served with sautéed mushrooms, spinach and cherry tomatoes – the perfect Café-Style Breakfast without needing to leave the comfort of your own home.

Alternatively, why not try accompanying the fritters with a fresh tomato, red onion and parsley salsa, topped with crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese and pomegranate.

 

 

Warm Up Your Lunchtime with Hearty Winter Dishes

 

Potato Tuna Bake

Creamy, cheesy potatoes with tuna for lunch anyone? Enjoy the Potato Tuna Bake with a serving of French Beans with Mint and Lemon.

For a quick lunch side, lightly steam the French beans in a microwave and then toss with mint and lemon dressing once ready to eat. Or serve with a refreshing side salad of crisp lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of fat-free salad dressing.

 

 

Plated serving of winter vegetable lasagne

Vegetable Lasagne

The heartiness of pasta is comforting on a cold day. Our Vegetable Lasagne is great paired with a fresh side salad of rocket, spinach, sliced pear, crumbled reduced fat feta cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

If you’re looking for another delightful option, consider accompanying it with a serve of Creamy Cauliflower Soup. This recipe is great to make ahead of time and you can freeze in individual portions, ready for the cold days that call for hot soup.

 

 

Indulge in a Warm and Flavourful Dinner

Craving a satisfying and hearty dinner? Look no further than our mouthwatering Lamb Rissoles with velvety Sweet Potato Mash, sure to become your ultimate winter dinner favorite.

For a quick and fuss-free side, pair it with sautéed asparagus spears and broccolini lightly drizzled with olive oil, seasoned with a touch of pepper, and a squeeze of zesty lemon juice. Alternatively, tantalize your taste buds by serving it with a side of Ricotta and Feta Cheese Stuffed Zucchini to add a delightful twist to your meal.

 

 

Bowl of chunky vegetable soup garnished with basil

Chunky Vegetable Soup

There’s nothing better than coming home to a warm bowl of Chunky Vegetable Soup on a chilly winter’s night.

For a truly nourishing dinner, savour it alongside oven-baked Cauliflower coated in a luscious Cheesy Ricotta and Cheddar Sauce. For a delightful variation, consider adding a medley of steamed green vegetables, such as crisp broccoli and tender green beans.

 

 

Tempting Winter Snacks to Satisfy Your Cravings

Our Sticky Date Pudding with a rich caramel sauce is the perfect warming winter dessert. For a delicious fruit accompaniment, serve with a quick berry compote. Simply simmer some mixed berries with a dash of lemon juice and sugar-free maple syrup.

If you prefer to enjoy your pudding with a delightful twist, treat yourself to our guilt-free Banana Ice Cream. Made with just two ingredients – frozen banana and low-fat yogurt – it’s a healthy and effortless way to satisfy your cravings for a creamy companion to your pudding.
