Kefir milk has become more popular due to its recently discovered health benefits. If you're a regular drinker of this yoghurt you be curious as to how many syns the yoghurt has on the SW plan.
Kefir milk has on average around 3 syns for 100ml, making it quite a high syn drink to have on the SW plan, therefore we suggest only having it in moderation.
Down below, we've discussed in further detail how much Kefir milk you can drink in the slimming world, syn values as well as some low syn alternative yoghurt drinks from other brands.
At 3 syns for 100ml, you could have up to 500ml of Kefir milk before using all of your daily syn allowance, meaning one cup would cost you 7.5 syns which is half of your daily syn allowance.
Kefir milk gets its high syns from the sugar inside the dairy, having up to nearly 10g of sugar for just one cup, although the majority of this is natural sugars which happen during the fermenting process.
We would also suggest having Kefir in moderation since the bacteria inside can cause digestive issues in some people.
Kefir milk all has a similar syn value no matter the brand, but to keep you on track with your syns, we've listed some syn values of this fermented milk drink down below.
If you find Kefir milk to be too high in syns, we've got some great low syn alternative yoghurt and milk-style drinks to check out below which are also good for your health.
To conclude, Kefir milk is high in syns, having around 3 syns for 100ml or 7.5 syns for a cup, which is over half of your daily syn allowance. This is because of the sugar inside which happens during the natural fermentation.
For reducing syns, we suggest switching to another natural yoghurt health drink from our alternatives above which starts as low as 1.5 syns a drink.
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.
