Don't worry I am covered with my speed foods had apple, kiwi and blueberries with yoghurt for breakfast and a massive salad for lunch and then beetroot, onion and tomato with my laughing cows and ryvita for my healthy extras. :rotfl:

I have a feeling kiwi doesn't count as speed.... only because I remember sadly noting some of my favorite fruits don't count as speed (kiwi, grapes). Still it is free and has to be better for you than a lot of things, right?

I saw Laughing Cow cubes at half a syn in the magazine denise, reminded me of apericubes. I might get some for a nice snack with some melba toast. Which cheese sauce do you use? Seems lower syn than the HM I make.

/QUOTE]

I think the Apericubes must be smaller than the Laughing Cow ones (I haven't seen any yet) as using the Syn calculator they come out at 3 Apericubes for 1/2 syn.

I use the Colmans Cheese sauce mix is 8 syns for the pack. I only have about 1/3 of the pack so count it as 3. I only ever make a proper cheese sauce on a green day - definitely much nicer than the powdery mix!

I think the magazine said Asda stock the Laughing Cow cubes. Apparently 24 cubes in a pack at half a syn each but I'll definitely be getting some apericubes when I go to France next. Something to put on my list for Leclerc.


Thanks for the info about cheese sauce. It's hard sometimes being at target:o I have to keep telling myself I only really need to maintain so no problem having a few extra syns.

Hiya - lovely evening here after a few damp hours in the middle of the day. And it's Friday :j so there are some wine syns planned :j

I googled Heron foods and they're in the North and Midlands. your dinners looked lovely Meg, although I was waiting for our resident speed cop to comment.

Have a good weekend everyone, hope we all get plenty of sunshine.

Edit to add p.s. - the forum seems to be working again.

Delighted that forum seems OK.


Like meg, I balance my Speed food across the day rather than at each meal so I'll forgive only a few carrots with the lovely gammon.;)


The BGTY burgers were a big hit. I'd be surprised if I bother making my own again. Bearing in mind 4 x 113g burgers (452g) cost £3 and 500g of Sainsbury's 5% mince is £4 plus the faff of making them myself there's no contest. The faff for me is that I have to make them before freezing and (although it might work) I've never cooked them from frozen. So different from HM (because I always add onions and capers) but very nice and meaty and a great standby for just one syn each.


I did them with a big pile of fried onions, tomato and mushrooms in the oven for the last 15 mins of the SW chips. Yummy!!

:j I did it :j Today was an on plan day

Even though I was surrounded by cake and various other temptations and I kept strong. Fingers crossed the weigh in results are good!

I was looking at the Syns Allowed website tonight.The admin posted saying they had arranged a deal with Muscle Foods to get huge reductions for their meat.Sounds like details will follow over the next few days,but Deal 1 :- £76.26 worth of meat for £40.00, delivered free.
Deal 2 :- £121.07 worth of meat for £52.95, delivered free.
(Have just been back to SA this second to check those prices,and the codes will be sent to admin tomorrow.I guess they will be posted soon after.Available to new customers and those who have used before.
I have never bought food online before-might have to give it a go.The Muscle foods seems to have a good reputation.Apparently the meat is very lean,and lovely

You are right selement kiwi doesn`t count as speed anymore but to be honest haven't really taken much notice of the changes I figured if it worked for me before then its going to work for me again.


A big consideration for me when choosing what fruit to buy is cost and this week I got reduced kiwi nectarines blueberries and plums , all at 50p a pack so that's whats on the menu :rotfl:

I have looked into muscle foods before but its so expensive
their new customer deal is half price at £75 but looking at the individual price would anyone really pay £16 for a 1.2 kg chicken
:rotfl: not for me not even at half the price.


Will be interested to see what the syns allowed offer is to be.

Like the sound of those burgers and would save such a lot of faffing about think I must get a pack of these.
