Quorn bbq recipes.

Hello Quorn, you just keep getting better and better.

If you don't know by now; Quorn is the worlds leading meat free alternative. It is kind of known everywhere, and a very famous world record holder called Mo Farah likes to eat it!

At Prestige we simply love Quorn! It stands to purpose, it's one of the most nutritionally balanced snacks available out there. What we mean by balanced, is for a food that tastes so great, Quorn contains a bit of everything we need such as: protein, lots of fibre and the right amount of calories gram for gram.

From a fitness stand point. Quorn is very high protein. It allows you to attain this vital nutrient in your body; in more than a tasty way. The problem we have as people who stay fit and follow a balanced life is, we struggle to find ways to constantly keep our food interesting. And I think it's pretty obvious what we're going to say next; with Quorn you can absolutely do that.

Quorn recently held a BBQ work shop which exhibited just some of the great ways we can enjoy it even more. We've tasted some of the pretty exciting ways to cook with Quorn from; thai green currys to mouth watering pulled pork. But upon learning these BBQ recipes we simply had to share it with you.
