Tips For Choosing Crips Lower In Syns

Now we've listed some of the most popular low syn crisps on the market, you might be wondering how you can be choosing healthier crisps without having to carry your syn list around all the time, so we have listed our top tips for choosing lower syn crisps down below.

• Go for a heavier bag - Having one 30g bag of crips rather than two 18g bags will do you better in the long run, as it's more satisfying and will reduce the chances of you going back for a second bag.
• Look for pop chips - Pop chips such as Snack 'a' Jacks are great, as they are airy, which means they have a higher volume for less weight, allowing you to feel even more satisfied with your snack.
• Make your own - You can craft some pretty low syn crisp recipes at home with some fry light and seasoning, some you could try to make are lasagna sheet crisps or paprika ones with thin slices of regular potato.
• Check the flavours - Some packets of crisps are full of salt and sugar which can add to syns, you should also opt for baked crisps which are handmade rather than your average fried ones, as the oil ups the syns.
