Why you need vegetables to lose weight
Everyone knows vegetables are good for you, don’t they? They are healthy and filling for very few calories!
The best vegetables are those with low-calorie density.
This means if you eat 100g of spinach, for example, it is just 23 calories and 100g of crisps, which would be just as filling, is around 536 calories!

Description
This mushy pea curry is so much nicer than it sounds. A cheap easy way to make a quick curry full of vegetables.
Ingredients
2 x 400g cans of chopped tomatoes
2 x cans mushy peas
1 x 400g can baked beans
1 x can of butter beans
2 red onions roughly chopped
3 peppers deseeded and sliced
300g mushrooms sliced or cut roughly into chunks
2–3 tbsp. Medium Curry Powder
Instructions
It really is simple – pop it all in the slow cooker, on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
If you are out longer than that it will just be a bit softer the taste will still be there.
I often use this as a basis for a “chuck it in curry” which really is anything I have in the fridge that needs using so a bit of cauliflower, a leftover carrot or some chunks of potatoes, it all works well!
The curry powder can be adjusted according to taste so it really is a very adaptable recipe.
It is so cheap too so at the end of the month it is really worth considering!

This was fantastic! The flavours were brilliant and the use of the slow cooker for this was genius – saved so much time and the inevitable splatters on the light-coloured tiles (why do I do this to myself?)! Thanks 🙂

Brilliant idea. I’ve made mushy pea curry on the hob but using the slow cooker seems like a much better, quicker and easier method. On my list for next week’s meals. Thanks Jen.
