If you are looking to kick back on the weekend with a small drink like Disaronno, you will need to make sure you are synning this alcohol and all alcohol on the slimming world plan if you want to stay on track with your weight loss.
Disaronno has 3.5 syns for a single shot and 7 syns for a double shot, making it a very high-syn drink, we would only suggest consuming this kind of amaretto blend in moderation to avoid overusing syns.
We've put together a syn guide below, discussing why Disaronno is so high in syns as well as some other low syn alternative liqueurs to have a tipple with on the weekend!
At 3.5 syns for a single shot and 7 syns for a double shot, Disaronno is very high in syns, you could have up to 4 single shots before using all of your 15 syn daily allowance.
Disaronno get's its high syn value mainly from the carbs and sugar, for example, one serving has up to 17g of carbs in it, we do suggest measuring out this alcohol rather than free pouring to keep your syns on track.
If you choose to mix Disaronno with another drink make sure this drink is calorie-free like diet coke, otherwise the syn value can become very high.
If you find Disaranno to be too high in syns, we've got lots of other similar amaretto and liqueur drinks below to have for an after-dinner drink.
To conclude, Disaronno is high in syns, having 3.5 syns for a single shot, allowing you to have up to four shots before using all your 15 daily syns. Disaranno is high in syns due to its high carb content, we, therefore, suggest having it in moderation.
In order to keep your syns on track, we recommend measuring out your Disaranno always rather than free pouring, to find out about the syns in other sweet drinks like Baileys, check our syn guide here.
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.
