Is Slender Blend High In Syns? - Our SW Syn Guide!
If you are a vegetarian on the slimming world plan or you are looking to gain more muscle during your weight loss, you might be on the hunt for a low syn protein powder, but what about Protein World's slender blend, is it syn friendly?
Slender blend has around 7.5 syns on average no matter the flavour that you choose, making it very high in syns on the SW plan, we would suggest only having this protein powder in moderation to avoid using too many syns.
To find out more about the syns in Slender Blend, we've put together a small guide below which will cover why the Slender blend is so high in syns, some syn values and some low syn alternative protein powders from other brands.
Why Is Slender Blend So High In Syns?
At 7.5 syns a shake, Slender blend protein powder is very high in syns, this is because the powder can be used to replace meals as well as supplement protein in the diet, having up to 24g of protein a serving when mixed with almond milk.
We would recommend having these shakes in moderation since they use over half of your daily 15 syn allowances, we would also not recommend having them often to replace meals since they do lack nutritional content.
