Healthy extra's question....

Hi, just wondering if the only healthy extra's you can have is from the book? which is fine, but just checking!

thx!

There's a more extensive list on the website, but they're pretty much just variations in brands to the ones listed.

The reason Healthy Extras are chosen is if they offer extra fibre, calcium, protein etc. Other things that may seem like they should be healthy extras might not offer the same nutritional benefits and that's why they're not listed.

Was there anything in particular you were wondering about?

Ahh thx, I just looked on the website, I was wondering about jacket potatos on a red day, and I can have one as a healthy extra (B) I take it this is any size jacket potato? its a shame that sweet potato cant be a healthy extra on a red day

Jacket spud has to be weighed out - 227g raw weight including skin.

In the 2009 food directory there is a little HE box on the left of the item indicating it can be used as a HEX but these are normally just varients on whats already in the list in your food optimising book!
