Magnum's ice cream bars are luxurious ice cream, but their ice creams are often very high in calories, so what about their minibars? How many syns do they have?
Magnum mini ice creams have between 7-8.5 syns making them a great low syn choice in comparison to their full-sized bar ice creams which are typically 13 syns.
Down below in our guide, we will take you through how many mini magnums you can eat in the slimming world, the syn values of the whole magnum mini range, how they compare to regular magnums and some low syn alternatives.
At 7-8.5 syns for a mini magnum, you could enjoy up to two of them before using up your 15 syn daily allowances.
Most of the syns in mini magnums come from their fat, containing 9g per bar and 12g of sugar. We would recommend choosing mini magnums over other ice cream bars thanks to their smaller serving size, which allows you to have a sweet treat while being mindful of portion control.
If you have two mini magnums then you may as well have a regular magnum for the same amount of syns.
Not all mini magnums are within the same syn values, they vary according to their flavour, we've listed out the whole syn range below.
A regular large magnum bar has 10-13 syns depending on the flavour you choose, while a mini magnum has half the syns and fat content.
Small magnums are a wise choice if you want to save on syns, but once again this depends on the flavour you choose, for example, a dark chocolate regular magnum ice cream has 10 syns which is twice the size of a minibar and only 3 syns more.
If you find mini magnums to be high in syns despite their small size, you might be looking for some lower syn alternatives.
Not to worry, we've got you covered with our slimming world friendly options below.
To conclude, Magnums mini ice creams are a great option for people who want a lower syn alternative than a regular-sized magnum, you should be careful of the flavour you choose, however, with some mini bars going up to 8.5 syns, while a regular bar starts at 10 syns.
We would suggest eating Magnum's minis in moderation as a sweet treat, only two could take up your whole daily syn allowance.
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.
