Tesco Healthy Living Beautifully Balanced Meals and Snacks

As you are aware, Tesco has launched a new range of Tasty Healthy Food with Tesco New Healthy Living Range. The new range has a clear label, so you can easily identify ‘big on taste, lower in calories’ products if you are losing weight, and ‘beautifully balanced’ products if you want to eat more healthily or maintain your weight.

We have already tested Tesco Healthy Living big on taste, lower in calories, and they are so tasty. You can’t even tell they are low-calorie products!

We have also been trying Tesco Healthy Living beautifully balanced products, designed for those that are trying to eat more healthily or simply maintain their weight. When we visited our local Tesco store, I noticed there were several dishes to choose from, all developed to be healthy and tasty options. We picked up a few samples from the range, from main meal and side dishes to desserts and snacks.

Vietnamese Cod Steamer with Rice Noodles is a succulent cod and rice noodles in a spicy Vietnamese broth, topped with edamame soya beans, peppers and fresh coriander. The ginger and lemon grass broth is very tasty and the meal is incredibly low in calories, with only 260 calories and it counts as one of your five a day portions of fruit and veg.

King Prawn and Mango Salsa Pots are king prawns topped with mango, red onion and a hint of chilli. You can enjoy it on its own, with a mixed leaves salad or as a filling for a wrap or sandwich. We had it as starters and it was yummy!

There is also a wide selection of desserts and snacks on offer, so you can enjoy a treat without feeling guilty. Whipped Mango & Passion Fruit Yogurt is an very light and fruity dessert, low in fat and reduced sugar, 45% less sugar than a typical Tesco mousse.

If you prefer cottage cheese, you can enjoy a low fat natural cottage cheese with sweetened dried cranberries, dried apple and pumpkin seeds. I usually have cottage cheese with savoury snacks, but it was refreshing having it with sweet toppings instead.

Mixed Yogurts are low fat Greek style fruited yogurts with added sugar and sweetener, in blueberry and apple flavour and cherry and pomegranate flavour. The consistency of the yogurt is quite thick, just how I like it. The combination of flavours works well, making it a lovely alternative to sugary desserts.

If you can’t be without savoury snacks, you will love Vegetable Mini Crackers, they are crunchy and tasty with garlic and herb seasoning. They are low in saturated fat, and perfect to be enjoyed instead of crisps if you are looking for a healthier diet.

Tesco Healthy Living beautifully balanced products are healthier than standard products, but taste just as nice. Every dish has been lovingly crafted by Tesco expert nutritionist to be full of flavour, created especially for people who love great tasting food and want to control levels of sugar, salt, fat and saturates in their diets.
