Can I Eat Rowntrees Fruit Pastille Lollies On Slimming World?

We all love a sweet treat now and then to treat ourselves during the week, but ice lollies can be packed full of sugar, making them higher in syns than we think.

Rowntree's fruit pastille lollies have 3 syns for both the 65 ml multipack versions and the 75ml larger version, their strawberry flavour also has the same amount of syns. 

To help you out, we've composed a guide below that will take you through how many syns ice lollies have, lower syn alternatives to fruit pastille lollies and how to make your own syn free slimming world friendly ice lollies for the freezer!

Do Ice Lollies Have Syns?

Ice lollies do have syns, but none tend to go past 5 syns in total, making them an excellent sweet treat to have rather than ice cream which is a little higher in syns.

As they are frozen they also take longer to eat, which make them more satisfying, for example, the larger version of the Rowntrees lollies has only 3 syns.

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.
