Yummy spring chilli prawn pad Thai

Here’s a healthy and easy to make meal directly from our 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge  – that will save you money (and calories) as opposed to having it from the take out menu.

You can also alter this meal to suit you and your family. You may want to mix it up by using tofu, pork, beef or chicken instead of the prawns, then using whatever vegetables you have at home.

The chilli in this recipe is a great flavour boost, and has been shown to be a metabolism boosting food. Feel free to omit if serving to little people.
