Enjoy Yakult on Slimming World: A Syn-Free Probiotic Drink to Boost Your Gut Health

Yakult's are raved about in the health world for being an excellent source of probiotics which are great for your gut, but since these fermented kinds of milk are not syn free on the slimming world, you need to ensure your synning them.

Yakult typically has 0 syns per bottle, making them syn free as they are a great source of probiotics for your diet which can help with health and weight loss. 

We've discussed in more detail below why Yakult's are so low in syns and some low syn alternative health drinks to add to your daily diet.

Why Are Yakult's So No Syns?

Technically, at 2 syns a Yakult, these mini fermented milk drinks are very low in syns, allowing you to have up to 7 Yakults before using all your 15 syn daily allowance on the plan.

However, since they are a probiotic, they are considered to be syn free and not count towards your daily syns.

Yakult's are low in syns thanks to their small portion size, they are however very high in sugar, having 8g of sugar in just a small 65ml portion! We would therefore stick to one Yakult a day due to its high sugar content.

You can also check out Yakult light versions which have 1.5 syns a serving.
