Quark - A Slimmer's Best Friend


For those who haven't discovered this slimmer's secret you might be wondering what I'm going on about.

I don't mean the computer programme, or the dog in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, I'm talking about the super healthy, virtually fat free cream cheese! Slimming World Consultant Liz Dean introduced me to this fab product and the hundreds of uses it has!

Here are five for you to try out...

-Wimbledon wouldn't be complete without strawberries and cream. Mix Quark with sweetener for a sin-free cream substitute.

-Stir into a risotto at the end of cooking for a creamy finish.

-Spread on toasted bagels and top with smoked salmon for a decadent breakfast treat.

-Make guilt-free ice cream! Combine equal quantities of quark and fat-free fromage frais, then freeze in a tub. Add vanilla extract, berries or even crushed maltesers to the mix to recreate your favourite flavour!

-Saintly Sauces - Heat stock (chicken, vegetable, beef, whatever you fancy!) with a spoonful of quark for a quick and simple savoury sauce.
