Unofficial Slimming World stuffed peppers – Healthy recipe

I absolutely love stuffed peppers. I am not sure why but they really just make me smile. I used to love them covered in cheese sauce but a healthier version is here. If you follow Slimming World, Weight Watchers (WW), Noom or any other weight loss plan you can usually count this easily within your allowances.

Just Average Jen is an independent blog not connected with any weight loss plan. Please check nutritional values and/or syns yourself.

All my recipes include vegetables where possible but do feel free to add more as an accompaniment when you can. Always choose vegetables that you enjoy because otherwise you will begrudge eating them and are more likely to before long stop cooking them at all.

Trying vegetables cooked differently or with herbs and spices can make them a little more exciting too.

Making these unofficial Slimming World stuffed peppers on a budget

These are really easy to make and as rice is so cheap it is a great budget meal to make. Perfect served with salad or anything you need to use up really!

I try to ensure all of the recipes I make are accessible to everyone. By this, I mean that they do not use obscure hard-to-find ingredients. I also believe that recipes should use as few ingredients as possible and avoid expensive ingredients. We would all much rather spend money on holidays than on expensive ingredients wouldn’t we?

Buying herbs and spices in bulk is something I really recommend. It can save a lot of money in the long term but also mean you never run out! I find putting them on Amazon subscribe and save helps too!

Enjoying these stuffed peppers on Slimming World

If you follow Slimming World the ingredients in this recipe are all, I believe, classed as free foods so you shouldn’t need to use any syns.

Other vegetables to try stuffing

Now you have tried stuffing peppers with a variety of fillings, but have you ever considered using other vegetables to stuff? There are so many options available that are just as delicious and versatile as peppers!

For starters, zucchini boats are a fun and easy alternative. You can also stuff mushrooms, eggplants, and even tomatoes with delicious combinations of meats, cheeses, grains, and herbs.

The options are endless! Not only do these stuffed veggies make for great appetizers or main courses, but they can also help increase your daily vegetable intake.

So why not add some variety to your recipe rotation and try stuffing a different vegetable? You may just discover a new favourite dish.
