So long as you don't add anything to them or cook them they remain fresh strawberries. By mashing them you do nothing but change the cell structure of the fruit which would have no impact on its calorific value. Juicing is different because you remove the fibre so I understand that but mashing. That's a step too far! I say keep your syns.
Whoahhhh stroppy :rotfl: Only quoting what our consultant told us at group when a member was mashing bananas to put on scanbran......you break down the bulk of the fruit-thereby making it easier to consume- therefore they say it becomes syns. Im sure consultant31 will be along at some point to clarify tho

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies.... :rotfl:
I personally think that mashing fruit is ok -
IF!!! 1 - you dont end up eating more of it than you would do if you were eating the whole of the fruit in tact (eg if you were only mashing 1 banana and not 3) and 2 - you dont do it EVERYTIME you have fruit
Of course if you do it often and find your weight losses are affected then obviously you would need to give mashed fruit a rethink!!
I dont think there is much difference in mashing 1 banana for a scan bran than slicing 1 banana..
The whole cooking of fruit thing is understandable but the mashing thing needs a bit of common sense applied to it!!
All hail to the sale!!!!!! :beer:

Bit of a daft question, but this disc I have got says very low fat natural cottage cheese is free on red and green days, but is it free on EE as I don`t have a list of free foods for EE. Is Morrisons eat smart natural cottage cheese and Aldi`s Be light low fat cottage cheese counted as very low fat or not ?
Also can anyone tell me if Morrisons original crispbread (red packet, 39 calories per slice) can be counted as a HE, if so how many and if not, how many syns are they ?
I`m all confused today, as I had three with cottage cheese on last night (got the nibbles) and as I only had 2 slices of the WW brown danish out of the 3 I was allowed as my HE, I wondered if 1 slice of the crispbread would count as my third slice of bread or not ? I am now totally baffled as to how much I synned 
ANY help would be really, really appreciated
If its free on green or red its free on EE
according to the new food Directory:
The Aldi low fat cottage cheese plain or chives one is free on all plans
The Morrisons eat smart cottage cheese, plain, onion & chive, pineapple,tuna & sweetcorn, is free on all plans
Morrisons crispbread isnt a HEB not sure on the syns are they original rye crispbreads??0 -
