Is Coconut Water High In Syns On Slimming World?

Coconut water has become very popular in the health food world, being full of electrolytes and great for dehydration, but does it have syns on the slimming world plan?

Coconut water typically has 1 syn for 100ml or 2.5 syns for a cup, making it fairly low in syns when consumed in moderation. 

We've put together a short guide below which will take you through how much coconut water you can have on the slimming world, syn values of coconut water as well as how it compares to coconut milk and some low syn alternatives.

How Much Coconut Water Can I Have On Slimming World?

At 2.5 syns for a cup, coconut water is a great low syn drink choice compared to other beverages such as soda and is full of health benefits. For example, coconut water (different values to dessicated coconut) is packed with bio-active enzymes that promote better metabolism and digestion helping with weight loss.

Still, we would be careful about measuring out your coconut water and avoiding drinking it excessively since syns can quickly add up, having three cups would take over half your syn allowance and six cups a day uses your whole daily syn allowance of 15 syns.
