The Best Take Away Options

Posted on by admin
How much takeout do you eat each week? Following on from our “better than a takeaway” Chinese chicken and cashew recipe, we decided to do some research of our own and the results were quite startling. For example, according to Choice: “42{c754d8f4a6af077a182a96e5a5e47e38ce50ff83c235579d09299c097124e52d} of Australians eat out or have takeaway three or more times a week, averaging a whopping spend of $280 per month.” With stats like this in mind, it’s not surprising that regular trips to your local takeaway outlet can have a dramatic impact on our waistlines (not to mention our wallets). The good news however, is that there are healthy options available and we’ve asked our very own Susie Burrell for her expert guidance.
