Smoothies are not something\u00a0I usually have, if ever.\u00a0I\u00a0made one the other day as my daughter really wanted one for Suhoor (pre dawn meal in Ramadan) and thought I would do myself one too. To be fair I don’t think I would make them again for a couple of reasons: 1) it took me a while to work out syn values for all the fruit I was going to use! I wanted to keep it as low as syns as possible.\u00a0Fruits are a Free Food if you follow Slimming World but only when eaten whole, so if blending you have to count the syns accordingly. 2) It did not fill me up, I need proper food! Smoothies are fine as a drink but I would personally rather use my syns on something other than blended fruit and I am quite happy drinking Free drinks.<\/p>\n

But if you are partial to smoothies, why not give this one a go and let me know what you think! If you make any other low syn smoothies do share what you have.<\/p>\n

Serves: 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syns: 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time Taken: less than 5 minutes<\/strong>, if you don’t include time taken working out syn values!<\/p>\n

Difficulty: Easy<\/strong><\/p>\n
