Boots has unveiled a major shake-up to its meal deal range, introducing options specifically for those taking weight-loss jabs.<\/p>\n

The healthcare company claims to be the pioneer of the meal deal – having launched theirs in 1999 – which has fast become a staple of the average Briton’s lunchtime.<\/p>\n

But, in a sign of the times, they are now offering items specifically tailored to those using the appetite-suppressing jabs on their menu.<\/p>\n

At least 1.6 million Britons are thought to be using the drugs – officially named GLP-1s – with a further 3.3 million expected to seek them out this year.<\/p>\n

Named Boost, the new meal deal range offers 15 products from sandwiches, salads and sushi, all of which have been crafted by nutritionists to offer protein and fibre-focused options as well as being lower in salt, fat and saturated fats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All of the products will be part of the Boots meal deal which is \u00a33.60 for Advantage Card holders or \u00a33.99 without.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boots created the items after internal research of 1,000 GLP-1 users found that 70 per cent purchased food while on-the-go.<\/p>\n

Some 49 per cent of users said they wanted high protein options available to them, while more than a third said they wanted lower calorie offerings.<\/p>\n

Boots nutritionist Vicky Pennington said: ‘The Boost range adds to our growing range of healthy meal deal products at Boots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boots has unveiled a major shake-up to its meal deal range, introducing options specifically for those taking weight-loss jabs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘All products are a source of or high in protein or fibre making them a great option for the growing number of GLP-1 users, including our weight loss patients.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘All our own brand meal deal products are developed within a nutritional framework that limits calories, fat, sugar, and salt content in line with government and industry targets.’<\/p>\n

Among the offerings are a buffalo chicken sandwich with 22g of protein, a feta and beetroot humous salad with 15g of protein and 11g of fibre, as well as a hot Korean chicken flatbread containing 19g of protein.<\/p>\n

A butter chicken wrap with 20g of protein will also be on offer, alongside sweet chilli prawn dragon rolls with 8g of protein.<\/p>\n

The average woman needs 45g of protein every day, while men typically need 55g.\u00a0Most adults are advised by the NHS to consume 30g of fibre, too.<\/p>\n

Boots hope the offerings will attract GLP-1 users as their research also found that 86 per cent said they would be more likely to buy on-the-go food if the options were healthier.<\/p>\n

However, the retailer faces growing competition in the emerging ‘GLP-friendly’ food market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Supermarkets including Co-op, Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Asda, Iceland and Ocado have all introduced similar ranges in recent months.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Pret A Manger launched half-sized baguettes last winter in a move widely interpreted as targeting customers using GLP-1 medications.<\/p>\n
