Clive’s Nut Roast
280g, £5.25, Waitrose
Per 100g: Calories, 238; saturated fat, 1.6g; protein, 5.1g; sugar, 5.9g; salt, 0.5g; fibre, 1.3g THIS is made from 50 per cent vegetables, including sweet potato, carrot, onion and celery, so if you eat the entire pack it will count as almost two of your five-a-day — and 29 per cent chestnuts, among other nuts, which provide iron, magnesium and B vitamins for energy.
Though it’s a healthy option it’s not a good meat replacement as it’s low in protein: 7g per portion — roast beef provides four times that. We need a minimum of 50g protein daily.
TASTE: Soft, nicely seasoned, with chunky nuts.
