If your looking for an energy boost mid-afternoon, you might be tempted to crack open a can of red bull, but how many syns do they have on the slimming world plan?

Red bulls have 6 syns per can, making them very high in syns and therefore should be consumed within moderation.
Down below, we've discussed in more detail why red bulls are so high in syns, syn values plus some low syn alternative energy drinks.
At 6 syns for a red bull, you could have up to two red bulls before using up all your 15 syn daily allowance. These red bulls are high in syns due to their high sugar content, having up to 11g of sugar per can, they should therefore be drunk within moderation.
One way to reduce syns is by choosing the sugar free red bull version which only has 0.5 syns for a 250ml can.
Red bull has similar syns no matter the flavour that you choose, to help keep you on track, we've listed all of their syn values down below.

If you find red bulls to be too high in syns, but your still looking for an energy boost to get you through your afternoons, we've got plenty of low syn energy drink alternatives for you to check out below.

Overall, Red bulls are very high in syns, having 6 syns a can, allowing you to have up to two before using up all your daily syn allowance, this is because Red Bulls are very high in sugar. To save syns, we suggest choosing the non-sugar version or an energy drink from our low syn alternatives above starting as low as 4 syns.
Syn values are calculated using a formula based on calories, saturated fat and sugar content per serving. They’re not the same as calories — a product can be low in calories but higher in syns if it’s high in sugar or fat. Always check the official Slimming World app for the most accurate and up-to-date syn values.
Yes. When manufacturers reformulate their products, the syn value can go up or down. This is why we recommend double-checking with the Slimming World app or your consultant, especially if a product’s packaging has changed recently.
Most Slimming World members work with 5 to 15 syns per day. Your consultant will advise on the right amount for you. The key is to use your syns on the things you enjoy most — whether that’s a chocolate bar, a glass of wine, or a packet of crisps.
