How Much Pimms & Lemonade Can I Drink On Slimming World?

At 8 syns for a 250ml drink, Pimms and lemonade is a high syn drink, allowing you to have up to two glasses on the SW plan before using all your syn allowance.

This drink get's its high syn value from the Pimms itself which has 2 syns in for a 25ml pour and is high in sugar, plus full sugar lemonade which can have around 2.5 syns for 250ml and nearly 11g of sugar in!

We therefore recommend measuring your pour of Pimms and lemonade to stay on track with syn and avoid pre-made mixers in cans since these often have added sugar inside to make them taste better.
