Healthy Sticky Pork Cutlets And Mash

Here at the Healthy Mummy, we love taking traditional favourites and creating a healthier (and just as delicious) version.

Take our Healthy Sticky Pork Cutlets And Mash recipe. All the flavour of the more well-known versions of ‘pork and mash’ but lower in calories, sugar and fat – and packed with extra nutrients.

Pork is an often forgotten form of protein but it’s a great choice, especially for women. Pork is high in protein, iron and a whole range of essential and trace minerals while also being low in fat. The iron content in particular is a big plus for women as many of us can be lacking due to pregnancy/birth/breastfeeding and a busy lifestyle.

This Healthy Sticky Pork Cutlets And Mash recipe is the perfect quick and easy mid-week meal for families and those taking part in the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge. Healthy Sticky Pork Cutlets And MashThis recipe pairs pork cutlets with a cannellini beans and parsnip mash. It makes a healthy and tasty change from the usual potato mash which can be loaded with butter and cream and is relatively high GI.

This recipe is taken from the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge. You can find all the details about the upcoming challenge HERE.
