When it comes to cosy nights in, nothing quite beats a fakeaway. Save money, cook from scratch and impress the whole family with these Top Slimming World friendly recipes. From KFC to Currys there should be something to inspire you and suit your perfect fakeaway night.
What is a fakeaway?
The Fakeaway trend is increasingly growing in popularity, particularly amongst Slimming World members across the UK. The only way to explain a Fakeaway is it’s a ‘fake takeaway’ made at home from scratch. Instead of purchasing expensive unhealthy dishes from fast food outlets, we use healthy lean ingredients to recreate the dishes. One of my most popular posts to date is the “KFC fakeaway” which will be featured below.
Fakeaway nights can be really fun especially if you get friends together. So I have thrown together my top Fakeaway recipes suitable for anyone following the Slimming World plan, Weight Watchers or a calorie deficit.
