Slimming World BBQ recipes
Best-ever burgers
No cookout is complete without a couple of juicy burgers – and Slimming World members are spoilt for choice. You’ll find juicy beef quarter pounders in the Slimming World Free Food Range, available exclusively at Iceland. Or you can create your perfect patty fom lean beef mince.

Veggie burgers
If you fancy a vegetarian option, halloumi burgers are a fantastic choice. Our member Gwen filled a wholemeal roll with reduced-fat halloumi, portobello mushrooms, red peppers and spinach to make this tasty-looking bap, served with home-made coleslaw.
Finger lickin’ drumsticks
Chicken drumsticks are a barbecue favourite – give yours a spicy twist by trying our Free jerk marinade and serving them with a fruity slaw.
Hot-diggedy dogs
Yes you can have the full hot-dog experience with Slimming World… chunky sausage, soft finger bun, sweet onions – and a squirt of mustard and ketchup if you fancy it!

Sizzling steaks
Steaks are ideal for the barbecue – with the added benefit that they taste just as good cooked under your kitchen grill if the weather suddenly turns. Even better, as long as they’re cooked without oil and all visible fat is removed, steaks are a Slimming World Free Food.
Our member Patrick enjoyed a sunshine supper of grilled steak served with potatoes, grilled peppers, onions and a drizzle of mushroom sauce (members can check the Syn value using the Slimming World barcode scanner).

Sunshine salads
A barbecue staple, salads are brilliant for adding plenty of weight loss-boosting fruits and veggies to your meal. You’re not limited to lettuce, cucumber and tomato either. With so many Free Foods to choose from, your salads can be as creative as you like.
