Syn's in Costa Creamy Coolers (Coffee)

Hi all,

I'm quite a new member to slimming world - and I really do love my coffee. Costa coffee in fact, and when I'm with my friends they all want to go in and I'm stuck on what to buy. I really do love the Coffee Creamy Coolers (and I mean the massimo one!) does anyone have the syns on this as can't find it anywhere and / or low syn versions of some other treats I can have there without using all my syns?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks! :)
 
Hi jack. Im not sure of the syns, but a good way to reduce it (if you dont already) is to use sweetner if you have them sweet and if possible ask for semi skimmed or skimmed milk. If you can find out how much milk is in it you could use it towards a healthy extra A.
As far a I am aware, the actual coffee is no syns. I hope so as I make coffee all the time!!!
 
Look up the nutritional information on their website and then just use 1 syn per 20 calories to work it out - when you see the syns in black and white that may put you off.

I usually have an americano with skimmed milk or cappuchinos are pretty low if you get a skimmed one. if you want something like a latte then you can just take 6 syns off if you have the milk as your healthy extra A option.
 
The syns are on the website here's just a small sample of the syn for the creamy cooler -not worth it at all! :eek:

Oh dear... Looks like I'll be cutting out Costa for good! Not worth the syn's at all... Thank you all very much! - Is there any way we could make a slimming world version? I may have to work on that :p

YIKES... so plsd i dont know what one of those is - i always have black strong expresso or americano is Costa.

If you like costa coffee btw its sold in bags now in supermarkets so you can brew your own for a fair bit cheaper i dont doubt and if u whizzed it up with some hot milk from your HEX it would be like a latte, or maybe crushed ice or mmm so many ideas
 
A small skinny iced cappuccino from costa is only 2.5 syns. Then you can add the sugar free syrups as they are syn free for an extra treat. Totally worth it.
 
Hey, I was going to suggest the same as bexiboo did! The iced drinks (made with skimmed milk) are amazing and you can sweeten them up as suggested. Honestly, try them a couple times and you'll not even want a cooler.
 
I've managed to cut costa's out altogether, it's too much temptation If I actually go in... I inhale whilst I walk past and can feel the syns.. So I know I shouldn't I will keep in mind making my own latte! Thank you for the ideas!
 
I am actually gob-smacked at the Syns in the skimmed milk versions!! I need too find myself a new Costa drink too have :cry:
 
If I have one, I usually go for a large skinny latte and call it a HexA. I too love the coolers, the mocha one in particular, but the synnage has put me off these days. May give that iced cappuccino a bash though if my need gets too great.

Mostly I've knocked these coffees on the head though and go for herbal tea these days. :-/

Hi :) The Costa website says that a primo Mocha Creamy Cooler made with skimmed milk is only 187 calories. So would that mean it would only be 10 syns then (4 if I used my milk allowance)? It seems like such a difference from the syn values quoted here. Is that because those syn values are from 3 years ago and they may have changed the ingredients? Or am I reading it wrong?

Thank you!
