5 Ingredient Meals: Low Carb, Blood Sugar Friendly

All you need is 5 ingredients and you can make a tasty meal.

Sure, sometimes 5 ingredient meals are not as tasty as they could be due to limited ingredients. That’s not to say 5 ingredient meals aren’t tasty – they absolutely are. The main benefit is a simple ingredient list, easy prep and often super fast cooking times of 15 minutes or less.

DMP have created hundreds of 5 ingredient meals for our members. These exclude a few staples such as oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and lemon. As you can see by the recipe below, we’ve included 5 deliciously simple ingredients.

We’ve put together a few 5 ingredient meals here to help inspire some simple cooking in your kitchen.
