Can I Eat All-Bran On Slimming World?

If you are a lover of cereal for breakfast, you might be looking for some low syn healthy options such as All-Bran cereal, but is it high in syns on slimming world?

All-Bran cereal has around 7 syns a serving for a Kellogg's original version, but this is classed as healthy extra B on slimming world too, allowing you to have your 40g syn free on the plan, making it a great choice for a healthy breakfast.

We've put together a guide below which will discuss why All-Bran cereal is a good choice on SW, some syn values of other bran cereals, which cereals count towards your healthy extra B and low syn alternatives.

Why Is All-Bran A SW Friendly Meal?

All-Bran is typically regarded as a very healthy cereal to have in the slimming world since it contains natural wheat fibre, this is not only nutritionally good but also benefits people looking to lose weight since it keeps you full for longer.

At 7 syns a serving, it would use up around half of your daily syn allowance which is high in syns unless used as your healthy extra B allowance, if you go over the 40g allowance however you will need to start synning it.

Besides being high in fibre, All-Bran cereal is also low in fat and only has 7g of sugar a serving compared to some other breakfast cereals which have over 15g of sugar!
