This list outlines some of the best Low Point Pancake Syrups available when you are following the Weight Watchers plan.
Whether you follow the Blue, Purple, Green or old Freestyle plan there will be a syrup to suit your SmartPoint quota!
With over 20 syrups listed, it includes the Smart Point values per serving and information on where you purchase the syrups.
Just because you are following the Weight Watchers plan, it doesn't mean that you can't indulge in pancakes drizzled with warm sweet syrup!
But with maple syrup clocking up 12 Smart Points per ¼ cup (or 6 Smart Points for 2 tablespoons), if you are craving pancakes it makes more sense to find a syrup that is lower in Smart Points.
Many of the pancake syrups in this list are 1 or 2 Smart Points per ¼ cup and some are even zero Smart Points!
That's a little more like it!
Sugars, Sugar Alcohols & artificial sweeteners
Many of these syrups are 'sugar free'. This means that they don't contain sugar but they do contain artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols or 'natural' sweeteners such as stevia leaf or monkfruit extract.
This gives them a sweet taste but with fewer calories (& less tooth decay) than sugar.
However, if you look at the ingredient list of many of these syrups they can read like the index of a chemistry text book.
So just be aware that there is nothing natural about many of these sugar free syrups - along with the advantages of using sugar free products there may also be disadvantages.
What are possible side effects of sugar alcohols.
Some sugar alcohols & artificial sweeteners are known to cause some 'interesting' side effects.
These effect people in different ways with some more sensitive to them than others.
If you'd like more information about sugar alcohols please take a look at this article by the FDA.
Artificial Sweetener Aftertaste
Some people complain about the aftertaste of products which contain artificial sweeteners & sugar alcohols. These range from a metallic taste to a cooling, over sweet sensation in the mouth.
This aftertaste varies from product to product and not everyone has a problem with it. I guess it's just personal preference.
How I worked out the Smart Points?
At the time of writing this list, Weight Watchers does not require you to add sugar alcohols into the calculator to work out the Smart Point values of foods containing them.
Therefore, the Smart Point values have been worked out using the usual calories, protein, saturated fats and sugar counts.
Uses for Low Point Syrup on Weight Watchers
