Making a quick stirfry with a Blue Dragon sauce is an easy weeknight meal, and since stirfrys are regarded as pretty healthy, you might be wondering how many syns the pre-packaged sauce will set you back.
Blue dragons sauces mainly have a syn value ranging between 5-7 syns per pack depending on the flavour, making them high in syns, this could be reduced however if the sauce is served between two people.
We've discussed below in more detail why Blue Dragon sauces are high in syns, syn values for the whole range of Blue Dragon and some low syn alternatives, we have also thrown in a great Slimming World friendly stir fry sauce recipe if your looking to save some syns.
At 5-7 syns a pack, Blue dragon sauces are quite high in syns, this is mainly due to the high sodium and sugar content inside of the sauce. However, most of these packs serve two people, so you would only be consuming 2-3 syns a serving which is considered low out of your 15 syn a day allowance.
These sauces also differ in syns depending on their flavour, for example, plain flavoured options like their Chow Mein stir fry sauce only has 6 syns in while their Satay peanut sauce has around 8 syns a pack.

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.
