Heinz is popular for making their quick and convenient meals in cans, especially beans on toast, but since they have a larger variety of flavours this also means syns change according to each type.
Heinz Creationz Spanish beans in particular have 1 syns for half of its 250g pack, making it a great quick low syn lunch on the go with some rice.
We have composed a short guide below which will take you through the other syn values of Heinz beans flavours as well as some low syn alternatives to keep you on track.
It can be a little confusing to learn that Heinz beans are syn free on the slimming world plan but their flavoured versions are not, this is mainly down to the fact that the original Heinz beans are just in a standard tomato sauce and their flavoured versions have a lot more sugar and fats which have to be synned.
Even so, however, the Heinz bean creationz range plus their other flavoured beans are still low in syns which is useful for keeping you on track when you don't have time to cook, beans are also high in fibre and protein so help to keep you fuller for longer till your next meal.
Depending on the flavour that you buy the Heinz beans creationz vary in syns so we have listed a few more from their range below as well as some other flavoured beans from the Heinz range if you looking for low syn filling snacks.
Heinz is not the only brand that has low syn easy to make bean meals, we have listed a few other low syn alternatives for some variation below.
To conclude, Heinz Spanish beans creationz make a perfect low syn healthy lunch providing plenty of protein and fibre for your day. We would suggest pairing this with speed veg to make it fresher and nutrient-dense as canned meals often do lack veg.
Do be careful when choosing other brands of flavoured beans as some might have syns due to the flavourings and ingredients, it is best to always use your slimming world calculator just in case if something is not syn free or slimming world known.
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.
