Description

As we mentioned above, porridge pots have a wide range of syns according to the brand, size and flavour, to help you compare and find some syn-friendly options we've listed a few popular values down below. Well, there's not much difference in nutritional quality between the two types of oats, rolled oats are typically preferred however because they have higher fibre content and GI content, keeping you fuller for longer.

For extra flavour, add fruit such as bananas, berries, raisins, apples or dates. These help towards your 5-a-day. A pinch of cinnamon adds a sweet flavour without any sugar. Most porridge pots do have syns on the slimming world plan since they are often flavoured with added ingredients, syns vary between brands but you can expect the average pot to have between 7.5 and 12.5 syns, making them very high. Whichever porridge you choose, make it with low-fat milk or water to keep the calories down and minimise saturated fat, especially if you are trying to lower your cholesterol levels. For example, an instant sachet of Quaker golden syrup porridge has 6.5 syns for 36g and up to 15g of sugar, making them not the healthiest choice.

BHF dietitian Victoria Taylor says:

Porridge is a healthy, nutritious way to start the day. However, there is much debate about which oats are the best to use and which cooking method is healthiest.

If your instant porridge is plain with no add-ins, you can have up to 40g of it as your healthy extra B, which is your fibre allowance for the day. However, if you have already used your healthy extra B for the day, on average, instant porridge will cost you around 7.5 syns for 40g which is quite high in syns. Don’t add salt, as an excess intake can raise your blood pressure over time, and avoid adding sugar, syrup or honey. A tablespoon of syrup, for example, adds 60kcal and 16g of sugar – nearly a third of the daily maximum sugar intake for a woman. Maple syrup and honey may sound natural, but aren’t any healthier and the sugar content is very similar. You should also consider that porridge pots typically contain milk powder, which adds calories, allowing you to just add hot water for easy preparation. Syn Values Of Porridge Pots When possible, making your oats from scratch with rolled oats is the better choice, although does require more time. How To Make Your Own SW Friendly PorridgeIf your looking for a syn-free porridge on the slimming world plan, no porridge is syn-free, but you can use porridge oats up to 45g as your healthy extra B which is your fibre allowance on the plan, anything over this will need to be synned. There’s nothing wrong with microwaving porridge, especially if you are in a rush in the morning. Instant porridge is fine if you stay away from flavoured or sweetened versions. Even healthy-sounding flavours such as apple and blueberry generally contain added sugars. Flavoured instant porridge is instantly higher in syns, due to the added sugar and flavourings, you also have to consider whether or not your make it up with milk, you can use milk as your healthy extra A. Well, instant porridge syns can vary according to the brand you choose and any flavourings they might have, for instant porridge however which is plain, you can have them as your syn free healthy extra B porridge as long as they have no extra add-ins.
