For a quick and easy lunch or even dinner, you might be tempted to stock up on some Heinz creations cans, but since these aren't syn free on slimming world, you need to make sure you know how many syns your meal has.
Heinz creations have different syns according to the type of meal you choose, but most have between 1.5-4 syns for a half a can or pouch of their meal, this makes them fairly low in syns for a quick snack or meal.
Down below in our guide, we will take you through why Heinz creations are low in syns, their range of syn values as well as some other similar ready meals for when you need a quick and easy syn friendly dinner.
Some of Heinz Creations meals have between 1 and 1.5 syns a serving, making them very low in syns, this is because they often contain syn free ingredients such as veg or beans, for example, Heinz Creations Spanish beans have 1 syns for the whole pouch, when you look closely at the ingredients this is because they contain simple spices and beans without too many added ingredients.
We suggest being careful with other ready meals on the market, not all are slimming world friendly like Heinz Creations and have hidden ingredients which make them very high in syns, the typical serving size for ready meals is also half or a quarter of the packet, not the full pack.
As we mentioned above Heinz creations come in a variety of different flavours and types, we've listed their syn values down below to help you out.
If you are bored of Heinz creations and you're looking for some other slimming world friendly alternatives for when your feeling lazy to cook, we've got you covered with our list below.
Overall, Heinz creations are a great low syn meal choice when you require something quick and easy to eat and don't feel like cooking, costing you only between 1-4 syns depending on the meal type you choose.
We do recommend serving these with some speed veg for extra nutrition to make it a filling meal as well as some carbohydrates such as brown rice or wholewheat pasta.
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.
