Slimming World Recipe Week – Slimming World Tofu Pad Thai Recipe

Hello all and welcome to Slimming World Week on Two Hearts One Roof. We joined Slimming World on New Years eve last year and for 9 months it all went to plan and we both dropped 2 stone, then life got busy, we moved house, the business picked up and we could no longer get to group regularly, so it kind of tapered off, and sadly we have both put some of the weight back on. Luckily we still managed to pick up and keep up with some of the healthy eating habits we learnt whilst we were there, like using fry light to cook with! But we have found it really hard to get motivated again and get back on track. So I decided to ask the other Slimming World bloggers out there what their fav recipes were in the hope it might inspire us and more of you to get back on track with your healthy eating. Every day this week I will be sharing a Slimming World Friendly Recipes from different SW members. Day one brings you a Slimming World Tofu Pad Thai Recipe from the lovely Amy of Another Innocent Girl.

Hello, I’m Amy and I blog over at Another Innocent Girl. I joined Slimming work just under five months ago and have so far lost 1 stone 9.lbs. What I love about Slimming World is how it encourages you to cook from fresh but also experiment with turning the food you love a bit more healthy. I’m a massive fan of their food and as soon as I saw this recipe, which is only 1 syn per serving, I knew I had to make it and more importantly eat it! Oh and this recipe serves four so you could freeze one or even take it to work the next day for yummy leftovers.

Don’t let the tofu put you off, it’s a really interesting ingredient that take on the flavour of what you combine it with and really goes well in Asian recipes. It’s also a cheap ingredient and replaces the meat in a dish really well.
