The six healthiest tortillas and wraps

Knowing which wraps and pittas are Healthy Extras helps enormously. Healthy Extra B choices include cereals, breads, cereal bars, cooked fruits and some nuts.
Bread/toast – 2 slices of wholemeal bread from a 400g loaf count as a Healthy Extra. and for an extra £5.00 spend your Syns on…

Free Foods include lean meat, eggs, fish, pasta, potatoes, fruit and vegetables. They're filling and low in calories for their weight — so you can eat as much Free Food as you like! The foods that are least filling and are higher in calories, like biscuits, sweets and alcohol, count as Syns at Slimming World.

Slimming World FajitasI personally love them served over brown rice or as a jacket potato filling for a Gluten Free option. If you do use tortillas to serve them, look for Weight Watchers Tortilla Wraps – one wrap is allowed as a healthy extra B. Any additional wraps are 6 syns each however… so keep that in mind!

Hi ladies I'm new to all this but I love pitta bread and houmous but I think there is quite a few syns in pitta bread,I have seen that the Kingsmill wholemeal thins have 5 syns but it also says they are a healthy extra so I'm not sure what that means?
Thanks! It's the latter I'm afraid - 6.5 syns per wrap. You can have a weight watchers wrap as your HEB.
Asda Light Mayo 2 tablespoons is 1 syn.
New Healthy Extra B Cereals45g fruit-filled wheat biscuits, blueberry/raisin. 45g oat bran* 45g Dorset Cereals Simply Delicious Muesli. 45g Jordan's Natural Muesli (No Added Sugar)
* A Healthy Extra portion of whole cow's milk has increased to 200ml, but the Healthy Extra portions of rice and almond milk have both decreased to 400ml - as well as 40g Paneer cheese becoming a Healthy Extra 'a' choice.
At Slimming World, we don't believe in cutting out food groups. In fact, potatoes and dried plain pasta, rice, noodles and couscous are all Free Foods, which means that you can eat as much of them as you like!
Fibre One Popcorn BarsThe great thing about these is they can be used as your Healthy Extra B allowance too. If not allow 4 Syns for the Peanut Butter Popcorn bar and 3.5 Syns for the Chocolate Popcorn bar.
The additional good news is that you thanks to recent changes from Slimming World, you can now have TWO Healthy Extra A options every day.
Sourdough is a healthier alternative to regular white or whole wheat bread. Although it has comparable nutrients, the lower phytate levels mean it is more digestible and nutritious. The prebiotics also help to keep your gut bacteria happy, and it may be less likely to spike blood sugar levels.
this time, it's that Bananas are not a Free Food at Slimming World, and even worse, that you've got to count them as Syns! Many diets and eating plans discourage bananas but with Food Optimising bananas are Free Food so are perfect for snack attacks and sweet cravings.
Whether you're partial to porridge, a fan of fruit 'n' fibre or swayed by Shreddies, enjoying cereal as your Healthy Extra 'b' choice is a fab way to get your daily fibre fix.
If you are going to be cooking with things like bacon, pork loin steaks or lamb chops, then you are going to need to make sure that all traces of fat are removed, especially the rinds. As long as you remove all visible fat then you can count your lean meat as a free food.
