WAYS TO STRETCH YOUR SMARTPOINTS

GET ALCOHOL SAVVY

Planning a night out? Skip the sugar-laden cocktails and keep it simple with a gin and slimline tonic for just 2 SmartPoints per single measure. Other budgetfriendly options include Becks beer at 3 SmartPoints per bottle, and red wine for 3 SmartPoints per small (125ml) glass. Or, keep your night out alcohol-free and go for sparkling water, a real-fruit mocktail or Becks Blue Alcohol Free Beer for just 1 SmartPoints value per bottle.

PACK IN THE VEG

Most veggies are zero SmartPoints, so they’re a great way to bulk up meals. If you have maxed out your daily allowance, use courgetti instead of spaghetti, boodles instead of noodles, and blitzed cauliflower instead of rice. Not only will you save on SmartPoints, you’ll up your veg intake, too!

SWEETEN WITH FRUIT

Love sweet treats? Try mixing grated fruit or sweet veggies into your bakes – not only will you need to add less sugar, your cakes will stay lovely and moist, too! And if you usually stir honey into your morning porridge, add a few sweet berries or a chopped banana instead.
