Try filling with:

• Smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers

It’s quick, filling, and requires zero cooking.

 

Creamy Avocado Salad Dressing

Drizzle over leafy greens, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables for a flavour boost that keeps carbs low.

• A sprinkle of cheese

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a protein-packed snack.
