Product Description
Our new range of Vegan, Keto Friendly, low calorie, flavour packed ready meals are the perfect choice for those watching their sugar, calorie, or carb intake.
With a clever blend of low carb rice, Mexican spices, sweetcorn and plant based Chick'n pieces, you'll not only feel like you've had a delicious meal, you'll also feel full. And to top all that, this meal contains just 13g carbs and 181 calories per portion.
So what makes our rice slim friendly and how are they different from traditional rice?
The rice in our ready meals are made from a low-carb, low-calorie plant based flour called Glucomannan which has been extracted from the root of the Konjac yam plant. This type of rice is popular in Asian cuisine and is gaining popularity in Western countries as a healthy alternative to traditional high-carb, high-calorie, wheat based noodles.
We're aware that some Konjac Glucomannan based products have an off-putting smell, are rubbery or watery. Not ours though. We've spent a lot of time developing a recipe that eliminates these issues to give a real noodle like texture, no wateriness and no unpleasant smell.
Another benefit of the rice found in our ready meals is that they have a very low glycemic index, making them a good option for people with diabetes or those following a low-carb or low sugar lifestyle. They are also extremely low calorie, gluten-free and contain no fat, sugar, or cholesterol.
They can also be a smart choice for anyone who is trying to manage their cholesterol levels as 4g per day contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.
Glucomannan has been approved as an effective weight loss ingredient by some major regulatory agencies such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which has approved its use for weight loss claims when consumed as part of a calorie-controlled diet. This is because not only is it very low in calories itself, when consumed, it absorbs water in the digestive tract which can help you feel full and satisfied, which can subsequently help to reduce your overall calorie intake.
It's important to note that Konjac rice should not be the only source of nutrition in a person's diet. It's recommended to pair them with other nutrient-dense foods to ensure a well-balanced diet.
