Alpro

Alpro Unsweetened Soya Milk can qualify as a Healthy Extra A on Slimming World, but the quantity that counts as your HexA allowance is different from dairy milk — it's typically a smaller volume because the calcium content differs. Always check the current official Slimming World HexA list for the exact qualifying amount, as this can change between plan updates. Don't assume the same quantity as skimmed dairy milk applies without checking.

The Alpro Plain No Sugars Soya Yogurt is Free on Slimming World at 67 calories per 125g, making it one of the best Free dairy-free foods on the plan. The sweetened and flavoured yogurts in the Alpro range are not Free and carry syn values — the Go On! Strawberry pot is approximately 2 syns, for example. If you're dairy-free and want a Free yogurt, stick to the plain, no-sugars variety and add your own Free fruit to flavour it.

The Alpro Unsweetened Almond Milk is the lowest in syns at approximately 0.5 syns per 100ml (13 calories), making it almost Free in small quantities. The Unsweetened Soya is around 1.5 syns per 100ml and the Unsweetened Oat is around 2 syns per 100ml. If you're using plant milk primarily in hot drinks throughout the day, the almond version gives you the most flexibility. For cooking where you need the creamier texture, the oat version may be worth the higher syn value.

Yes — the Alpro Single Cream Alternative and Soya Cuisine are both workable low-syn options for cooking, at around 1.5 syns per tablespoon. They're particularly useful in pasta sauces, curries, or soups where you want a creamy texture without spending lots of syns. Measure carefully and factor them into your daily total. Compared to regular double cream at around 6 syns per tablespoon, even a couple of tablespoons of Alpro cream alternative is a significant saving.

Yes — Alpro Unsweetened Oat Milk is higher in syns than their almond or soya alternatives, at approximately 2 syns per 100ml compared to 0.5 syns for almond. This is because oat milk has a higher natural carbohydrate content from the oats themselves. It's a popular choice because of its creamy texture and neutral flavour in hot drinks, but if you're watching syn spend on milk, either switch to the almond version or use smaller quantities of the oat variety.
