You’ve seen plenty of pizza wraps but have you tried a garlic version, my god. Comes in at roughly 649 calories for the whole thing but this could easily feed two people. The harsh reality is that you will eat it all yourself, in fact I strongly advise you not to share.

Lazy Air Fryer Donuts

Lazy Air Fryer Donuts

185 calories.

This is more of a cheat’s way of making donuts. Traditionally, they’re made with yeast and deep-fried, but this is an easier, simplified version that uses far less oil. I like to get creative with my toppings and tend to use a few different options, like the glaze or sugar mix, but I also love adding a little melted chocolate if I’m feeling more indulgent. This usually makes about 8 individual donuts, but be warned you may eat more than one! You can find this recipe in my healthy air fryer book on Amazon (Affiliate link).
