Nobbly Bobbly ice lollies have 10.5 syns per lolly making them very high in syns, therefore should only be eaten occasionally when you have enough room in your syn allowance.

Down below we've put together a short guide which will briefly go over why Nobbly Bobbly ice lollies are high in syns, the syn values of some other ice lollies as well as our own slimming world ice lolly recipe when you want to save some syns!

Why Are Nobbly Bobbly Lollies So High In Syns?

You might be surprised to learn that Nobbly Bobbly lollies are so high in syns, but this is due to the ice cream inside which is high in calories, sugar and fat, unlike ice lollies which are typically made with just frozen fruit and sugar.

These ice lollies also have a mix of strawberry and chocolate ice cream rather than one flavour which increases the calories. At 10.5 syns, you would only be able to eat one of these lollies per day before going over your 15 syn a day allowance.

Final Words

Overall, Nobbly Bobbly ice lollies are very high in syns due to the fact they are made with ice cream inside rather than just fruits, this increases the fat and sugar content due to the cream and therefore increase the syns. We recommend having these ice lollies as a treat occasionally if you save your syns.

If you want to save even more syns why not try making your ice cream or ice lollies with our recipes above, this would save you nearly 9 syns rather than having a Nobbly Bobby!

Frequently Asked Questions

How are syn values calculated?

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.

Do syn values change?

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.

How many syns should I have per day?

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.
