Healthy Casserole and Stew Recipes
By WLR Staff, Julie Howard
Not the sexiest of meals we have to admit, but never-the-less casseroles and stews are great for the colder months. Adding extra vegetables to casseroles and stews is also a great way to help you get to your five a day.
You can also take advantage of the cooking time of a casserole. This time can be an ideal opportunity to squeeze in a bit of exercise, take the dog for a longer walk, have a kick about with the kids in the garden or again the unsexy option of washing the car or doing house work – don’t knock it you can burn loads of calories (266 calories burned in an hour!) making your motor sparkle!
Oh, have I mentioned they’re pretty good on the calories front as well...
Pork & Apple Casserole
A bit of a twist to the normal pork casserole, and a sneaky way of getting some fruit in there!
Per serving: 367.7cal, 5.3g fat, 3.8 portions fruit and veg
Chicken & Vegetable Casserole
Simple yet satisfying, this casserole can count as a whole meal on its own without being accompanied by extra veg or potatoes. However if you fancy mixing it up a bit, why not try it with a serving of white and wild rice.
Per serving: 358cal, 6.4g fat, 2.7 portions fruit and veg
Susired’s Black Eyed Bean Stew
A nice, filling stew that would be great for vegetarians. It has a little extra kick by adding the curry paste and chillies
Per serving: 212.5cal, 3.3g fat, 2.6 portions of fruit and veg.
