Hi all

New to slimming world (2 weeks) but it seems to be working so far!This is my first post. I have a lot of really yummy recipes that are syn free apart olive oil - has anybody got good alternatives I can use? Thanks Dave

You can use it as a HE choice.....or if you are only using say, a tablespoon and the recipe is between 3 or 4 people then its 6 syns to split which isnt much. I often use the odd drizzle but sometimes leave it out totally x

Unless there's been an update from my 2010 book, it's only Extra Virgin Olive Oil that can be used as HE. . Any other will have to be syn'd.

Or you can use olive oil frylight (syn free) or berio olive oild sprays (7 squirts for half a syn)

Most recipes which contain olive oil seem to use FAR more than is really necessary (Jamie Oliver must get it delivered in a tanker!!). You can get away with using much less - and the Berio olive oil spray which PatchworkPuss mentions is an excellent alternative (I don't like Frylight)
