And for those days when finding the time to rustle up a Food Optimising meal can be a challenge, we\u2019ve got great news for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slimming World\u2019s frozen meals, sauces, soups and sides, available exclusively at Iceland, are made with this in mind, and we\u2019re adding three fresh side dishes to the range this month. Whether you choose colcannon mash, roast potatoes or our Syn-free chips, these mouth-watering accompaniments are a simple way to pack your midweek meal with filling power \u2013 and keep your weight loss plans on track, no matter how hectic life gets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our head of food and publications, Allison Brentnall, tells us more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/special-offers\"><strong>Discover the latest Slimming World offers here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHome cooking has always been at the heart of the Slimming World eating plan, and we know our members love making meals from scratch. We also know that when you\u2019re short on time you\u2019re more likely to reach for an unsatisfying microwave ready meal or a takeaway that\u2019s sky-high in Syns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of our food range is to give members a helping hand in the kitchen on busy days. You can just pop one of these side dishes in the oven or microwave and then get on with cooking the main part of your Food Optimising meal, safe in the knowledge that you\u2019ve got your sides sorted. And on days when you\u2019re too busy to cook at all, each of these dishes work well with any of the main meals in the Slimming World food range \u2013 so you\u2019ll always have a brilliant back-up on stand-by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My personal favourite is the colcannon mash. It\u2019s terrific with Slimming World pork sausages, plenty of greens and our red onion gravy, and it also works really well with a roast dinner or our Hunter\u2019s chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, we\u2019ve included the recipes for each dish on the packaging, to give you the option of making them yourself when you have more time. You\u2019ll also find links to all of the side dish recipes in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really hope you enjoy tucking into our new Slimming World side dishes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/eat-try-our-new-tray-bake-recipes\/\"><strong>MORE ON THE BLOG: Discover the full range of Slimming World tray bakes available exclusively at Iceland.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slimming World side dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Colcannon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/colcannon-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ColcannonMash-SWFoodRange-SlimmingWorldBlog.jpg\" alt=\"Colcannon mash-time-saving side dishes-slimming world blog\" class=\"wp-image-3630\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This comforting combo of mashed potato, savoy cabbage and onion is a tasty treat alongside smoked haddock, bacon medallions (all visible fat removed) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/bangers-and-mash\">Slimming World Free Food pork sausages and roasted onion gravy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/colcannon-1\">TRY IT: Get the colcannon recipe here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Syn-free chips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/syn-free-chips\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Chips-SWFoodRange-SlimmingWorldBlog.jpg\" alt=\"Syn-free chips in bucket-time-saving side dishes-slimming world blog\" class=\"wp-image-3629\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you fancy a big plate of chips, these Free Slimming World fries will satisfy your cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/syn-free-chips\"><strong>TRY IT: Get the Syn-free chips recipe here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roast potatoes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/roast-potatoes\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SWRoastPotatoes-SWFoodRange-SlimmingWorldBlog.jpg\" alt=\"roast potatoes on black baking tray-time-saving side dishes-slimming world blog\" class=\"wp-image-3635\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A roast dinner essential, our Free spuds are crispy on the outside and fabulously fluffy on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/roast-potatoes\"><strong>TRY IT: Get the roast potatoes recipe here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MORE FOR MEMBERS: Discover more <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/member.slimmingworld.co.uk\/features\/easy-side-dish-recipes\"><strong>home-made side dishes<\/strong><\/a><strong> on our exclusive members-only website.
