One of the best parts about the slimming world is that most fruits are syn free, allowing you to eat as much of them as you want without having to track syns.
Cherries have no syns on the slimming world, making them free food and allowing you to eat them without tracking syns, this means cherries could make an excellent sweet snack or as a topper for desserts.
In our guide below, we will discuss how many cherries you can eat in the slimming world, some syn values of cherries, the difference between speed fruits and free fruits, other free fruits and some SW recipes using cherries!
Since cherries are a free food on the slimming world you can have as many of these fruits as you want without any guilt, but of course as with all foods, within moderation.
Cherries can be great for weight loss since they are high in fibre, they are also high in vitamin C and potassium which are great for your body.
Cherries themselves are a free food on the slimming world but can come in different forms such as glace and jarred, so to help you out we've listed their syn values down below.
Although cherries are classed as free fruit, they are not glassed as a speed fruit, the difference between the two is that speed fruits are encouraged to be eaten on the slimming world plan without moderation since they are said to help speed up weight loss.
Speed fruits are typically thought to be more nutritionally sound which means they are low in calories but high in nutrients.

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.
