Rich tea biscuitsonly have 2 syns per biscuit, making them a great low syn treat to have with a relaxing cuppa. You could have up to 7 of these biscuits before using up your daily syn allowance. Cloud Bread As summer gets into a groove many of us feel the seasonal shift toward refreshing, fruity, fancy fizzy drinks of a Saturday evening. Typically this has us reaching for cider, wine or prosecco. Make one wrong move with our choices however, and our syns for the week are thrown off -- undoing all of the good work for the week. To put this into perspective, here are a couple of summer faves and their syn values: The clincher here is that at the time of writing, they are on sale in Tesco Ireland for a mere €5 for a bottle - normally €6.99. A little birdie told me that there are also two more offerings to be released soon in Tesco Ireland - B Fruitiful Strawberry and B Fruitiful Passionfruit - which will be only 55 calories (only 2.5 syns per glass)

Walkersoffer their baked range too which has around 5 syns per individual portions bag, making it the healthier option in comparison to the regular fried potatoes which have around 6 syns.Popchipsare known as the healthy option in comparison to normal crisps since they are popped, not fried, they have around 6 syns a bag, which is a similar syn value to regular crisps but is better for your health since they have less fat content. You can expect granola bars to be anywhere between 10-4 syns depending on the type and brand you choose. They have between 4-and 4.5 syns for a serving since they just consist of puffed rice rather than fried crisps. These crisps in particular should be eaten in moderation due to their high sodium content, we would avoid eating them out of a sharing bag.

Some people assume that if they do utilise their syn allowance on the SW plan they might be able to lose weight faster, due to them not indulging. Rather than indulging in a chocolate bar, slim fast bars can be an excellent low syn alternative with nearly half the syns thanks to them being low in calories. Some Ryvita's also can count as your healthy extra B which is your dose of fibre, this is normally up to two pieces. This makes them an alternative to craving sweets or you could top their original versions with syn free foods.
