Magnums are a favourite dessert and summer treat for many of us, but how high in syns are their vegan ice creams? Can you eat them in the slimming world?
Vegan magnums have 11 syns per ice cream but can vary according to the flavour that you choose, this makes them very high in syns therefore should only be eaten in moderation.
Down below we've composed a short guide explaining why vegan magnums are so high in syns, how they match up to regular magnums, syn values as well as a few lower syn alternative ice creams.
At 11 syns per ice cream, vegan magnums are very high in syns, taking up the majority of your 15 syn daily allowances. These ice creams get their high syn value from the cocoa butter and sugar syrup inside of them which increases the fat value.
You would need to save most of your allowance for the day to treat yourself to a vegan magnum.
Normal magnums in comparison to a vegan classic magnum have 12 syns, making them slightly higher in calories, these should also be consumed in moderation but are fine to eat as long as your syns allow.
To help you keep on track with your diet we have listed the syn values for vegan magnums below, as well as their other ice cream types.
If you find that vegan magnums are too high in syns, this doesn't mean you can't treat yourself to a lower syn alternative vegan ice cream.

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.
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.
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.
