Lockdown pretty much = baking up a storm, doesn’t it?
SASKO happily brings you some
simple, healthy recipes, with added ingredients for added care.
After a year of seemingly endless home-cooking and baking, many of us have exhausted our go-to recipes (amongst other things).
Luckily SASKO has developed a selection of delicious, healthy, simple recipes with their Low GI loaves, making it easy to pack nutritious ingredients into every meal.
SASKO’s Low GI range comes in five delicious flavours with the added goodness of vitamins and minerals and is also high in fibre.
Whether you’re enjoying the meal by yourself, whipping up a snack or cooking for the family, have a go at these:
