How Much Peppercorn Sauce Can I Have On Slimming World?

At 2.5 syns for a 50g serving, peppercorn sauce is quite low in syns, allowing you to have up to 300g before using all of your 15 syn daily allowance, however, syns can vary.

Peppercorn sauce is low in syns due to its simple ingredients, mostly consisting of peppercorns, double cream and some stock.

That being said, some pre-made sauces can be very high in fat because of the cream, for example, Tesco's peppercorn sauce has 4g of fat in a 90g portion.

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.
