  1. ‘You can use fruit in place of sugar in bakes because it contains natural sugar. Dates have become a useful addition to my store cupboard.’ Debbie
  2. ‘To add a spicy kick to my morning omelette, I add some sliced jalapenos to my usual mushroom, tomato and grated cheese filling.’ Ingrid
  3. ‘Smoked paprika is a must-have for me. It adds so much flavour to so many things. I also love fresh basil and fresh coriander – they’re zero heroes and really brighten up a dish.’ Laura
  4. ‘I love prosecco, but I’ve swapped it for sparkling water with slices of lemon served in a Champagne flute – your brain will think it’s the real thing!’ Melissa
  5. ‘I replace beef or pork mince with Quorn – it’s environmentally-friendly and lower in SmartPoints, too.’ Maria
  6. ‘I use my spiraliser so often and love experimenting. I stir-fry or microwave courgetti to have instead of pasta, or add it to soups in place of noodles.’ Janey
  7. ‘To bulk out a WW ready meal, I fry veg such as onions, mushrooms and peppers with cooking spray. It makes the meal feel more substantial and always fills me up.’ Eileen
  8. ‘I love risottos. I avoid cream and stick to stock, a small amount of wine and one tablespoon of grated parmesan. Then I’ll chuck in any extras – chicken, butternut squash, veg – for a delicious meal the whole family loves.’ Chris
  9. ‘As well as keeping a bowl of fresh fruit on my desk at work, jars of pickles have been my salvation. A gherkin or pickled onion is a great instant snack.’ Zoe
