Iceland shoppers 'won't buy takeaways' since trying low calorie £4 meals that rival McDonald's and Nando's

Frozen food supermarket chain Iceland has blown shoppers away with a low range of calorie meals that are so good they rival takeaways. Iceland launched the 15 item-strong fakeaway range which is packed with protein but low in calories earlier today.

Included in Iceland's MyProtein range you'll find dishes like peri peri chicken, salt and pepper chicken skewers, pulled pork mac n cheese, singapore noodles and katsu chicken. For McDonald's lovers, there are also a collection of breakfast wraps which, aren't the same, but look pretty similar.

Iceland's MyProtein takeaway meals are currently included in a huge deal, which you can only find online. Y ou can buy 10 meals and a packet of chicken skewers for £45 on the Iceland website here.
