A slimmer Christmas is a-coming with Slimming World

Dalia

Urrgh just been to a leaving do lunch time party so decided to have a flexi day....have pretty much eaten a year's worth of syns:T Enjoyed it though!!

What does everyone use their syns for? I tend to use mine for a bit of extra milk as like milky coffees and also use them for cooking products more than sweets or chocolate xx

I don't usually have ready made stuff but I am off to a hotel for a few days and thought it might be useful to have some bars or other snack type stuff in the room, as well as my usual fruit.

I read a lot about Alpen Lite and those fibre ones here - anyone got any recommendations?

I HATE chewy bars, just wondered if any of them were crunchy????

Or if there are any "acceptably naughty" crunchy snacks that might help me avoid room service!

Many thanks!

Thanks for this tip, I always fancy something sweet in the evening and getting a bit bored with yogurts.

I never thought about having my HEB in the form of a cereal bar at night.Great stuff!

Im finding its helping me loads, I used to have lots of sweet snacky things in an evening after tea so on days when I dont want to use anymore syns on a night I try and save one HEB to have a hifi bar, the choc orange ones and the choc mint ones are nice, not tried the alpen lights yet but I bought some this morning and will have one tonight

Thanks Bexstars!

I was going to buy some tonight....ah well.....

What I REALLY want is those oaty ones that they advertise with people landing on haystacks!!

But as I can't remember what they are called, I can't look up the syns :rotfl:

Fozzie - alpen bars are not crunchy either. They are not really chewy, they kind of fall to bits and are quite soft.
I think the ones you are thinking of are Nature Valley?
