I don't do it but I remember reading something like that.
You're correct
The 5% fat burgers are synned though because there's a starchy binding agent used. Can't remember what it is off the top of my head but that's why it's synned.0 -

Chocolate Weetabix Waffles!
Per person:
• 2 x Choc Weetabix (HeB)
• 2 x eggs
• 1 x Muller Light (1 syn)
• Toppings (quark and defrosted fruits shown here)
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven at 180c
- Frylight the waffle mould
- In a bowl, crush up weetabix, add eggs and muller light, hand-blend so it's a smooth consistency.
- Pour batter over the 'creases' so it comes off easier.
- 180c for half an hour, and voilá!
Take into consideration:
- 1 syn total, but you could sub out the muller light, but the toffee one works real nice!
- It is a bit cakey (which might be weird for breakfast!), get it a bit stiffer/crispy by using only 1 egg; and after the half hour in the oven, take out of the mould and bake for a further 7 mins.
- the mould i got from amazon for around 4 euro.
Great idea for a thread! Hope ya enjoy!0 -

i'll have to give that bread mix a whirl, that pizza looks amazing!
Here's what I've been doing for Pizza since joining SW:
Lo Dough Pizza! (2 Syns)
Ingredients:
• Lo Dough (2 syns) as a pizza base (it's horrible to eat plain, same with as a wrap, but great oven-baked as a pizza base!)
• Passata (half a carton for 2 bases) for sauce
• Cheese from your HeA
• Toppings I used corn, defrosted sliced pepper & onions as they're super handy
• Frylight!
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven (grill setting) to 220c
- Spray lo dough pizza bases with fry-light
- Spread Passatta all over the base, esp. the edges (otherwise they'll burn up pretty quick but still tastes great)
- add cheese; I use half HeA per pizza
- then toppings
- then spray again with frylight
- Oven-grill on the top shelf at 220c - it'll be ready in 7-10 mins but don't leave it!
- scarf down in 30 seconds, feel remorse, then happiness as it was only 2 syns!
Things to consider:
- Lo Dough can be bought from Dublin Meat Co or Online
- I use Eatlean cheese (order it online) allows a whopping 70g grated for your HeA!
- Syn-free toppings veg shown here, consider pan-frying first as they might just dry out rather than bake in 7-10 minutes if you get me.
- A baking tray will help stiffen the lo-dough but it will probably still be a little floppy
- Meat toppings, ofc ham and chicken is free (add spices to...well...spice it up) but chorizo (0.5 syn/slice) and pepperoni (1 syn/slice) is pretty amazing.
Enjoy!0 -

Had one of these last night. Thought it was great. Doesn't quite compare to a proper pizza base, but ultimately most of the flavour comes from the toppings, so it was fine. Will definitely have again.0 -

SLOW COOKER RICE PUDDING!
Preheat slow cooker on high while you sort the ingredients:
• 400ml Alpro Almond Milk, Unroasted/unsweetened (1 HeA or 2.5 syns)
• 200g rice pudding
• 3 tbs Granulated Sweetener
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 tsp Grated nutmeg (or less, it's strong)
• 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
• Toppings when finished: eg lower sugar jam (1.5 per tbsp), fruit (pomegranate here)
Directions:
Bung all in the slow cooker and stir to make a homogeneous mixture. set your alarm (unless you've a fancypants slowcooker) mine took 80-90 mins on high. Plate, add toppings, and serve!
Things to consider:
- This makes 3 good servings so you can scale the amounts of rice/milk.
- The bowl below is 3 syns total as I left it on a little long, so added another 100ml of milk to re-sludgify it.
- Recommend not washing the rice to keep the starch, so it's more sticky.
- Almond milk has been greatly reduced by the 2019 Slimming World plan - used to be 1L as HeA, now it's 400ml as your HeA. (Still 6 syns for 1L) Up to yourself if you're using your second HeA the day you make this 0 -

SW Speed/Free Soup!
Hardly groundbreaking stuff, but it's what I have when going for a big loss! I have this at lunch for a couple days of the week:
Bung the soup mix into boiling water, I've added 100g Pearl Barley (free) to thicken, add your spices, bring to the boil, and leave simmering for an hour (makes it more soupy!).
Spice-wise I've used 1 chicken stock, 1 herb infusion stock, pinch of salt & pepper, bay leaves, sprinkling of marjoram.
It's syn free; and calorie-wise it's 430 for the entire pot, and you'd be hard pressed to eat a quarter of it in a sitting! So around 107 cals for a meal, kaboom!

Is that a frozen soup mix? It’s not showing on my Tesco app.
I haven’t had soup in a while so I think I’ll give this a bash. I also read a recommendation for veg patties for dipping instead of bread so might give them a go. I’d really like to hit a maintain this week although it’s unlikely as I had an awful week last week and missed weigh in with hospital0 -

Not frozen, it's fresh (it's just diced carrot, swede, onion, potato, parsley iirc) found near the carrot batons and fresh-cut chips! If you try out these veg patties please me know how u get on 0 -
