No hun its not syn free if you cook or blend fruit it becomes syns. I dont know how many though you would have to ask your consultant but I cant imagine it being many.

I had the same problem with kiwi sorbet. The kiwi fruits are free as are the egg whites and sweetner, but it ends up being 1 syn per portion or 4 syns for the lot, mainly because you pulp up the kiwi fruits. The recipie was from the slimming world website so I know it has to be true, sadly.

Basing it on that Tracie, I'd guess it's probably about the same syn value.

Its really hard to explain I will ask my consultant then I may be able to explain it better. But it is defo synned if you eat it anyother way than its natural form.

Tracie....... the is a recipe for mango sorbet that came in last months magazine....

12oz fresh mango
2 - 3 tbsp sweetner
2 x 125g pots of danone shape lasting satisfaction mango yogurt

Basically blitz it all up together and freeze for 2 - 3 hours, then beat with a fork, put back in freezer for 4 - 5 hours, beating every 30 mins to break up ice.

This serves 4 people and is 3 syns a serving.
