Smash pizza clarification

Can someone please clarify for me once and for all if you have to syn the smash pizza if you're having it as a main meal? I keep hearing different things.

Thanks in advance.

The Instant Mash pizza made with Sainsbury's instant mash is free but I don't know about "Instant Smash" the only things to syn are the cheese and some of the toppings if you go over your daily allowance.

This one was free!

Pete's Pizza!

Thank you. I just use the value packets of instant mash and I posted the recipe for someone elsewhere but someone then said that consultants are telling members that it's not free anymore due to food abuse so I'm a bit confused as to whether it is or not.

Your pizza looks yummy by the way

I don't think there has been any definitive clarification from SW. Yes there was a pizza in a SW magazine made with a mashed potato base but that was real potato rather than the processed stuff. And it was also before SW really started cracking down on the whole issue of 'food abuse'. Personally I think it is okay if part of a meal but not for snacks, but if you are still losing at a rate you are happy with then do what suits you.

Thank You patchwork. I think I'll continue to have them as I only have one every couple of weeks and I'm still losing.

Thanks for replying to me

Smash does now appear to have syns in regardless of the food abuse issue.

Personally I have been eating Smash pizzas for a couple of months & I'm more than happy with my weight losses. I have now switched to making my bases with Mr Mash though as that is still syn free.

What a good idea - think I may give that one a bash at the weekend. Thanks folks!

i find that the smash pizza is yummier when you make them into mini one.. it feels like party food then!!

I made this last night. Took a while for the base to be crispy enough without it tasting like mash but it was well worth the wait! I used Harissa paste instead of tomato puree and then piled it up with mushrooms and sweetcorn and HEA of cheese. Then sprinkled the top with italian dried herbs and put it back in the halogen oven until bubbly and melted. I had a taste of it hot then had the rest cold for lunch today and i think tasted better because the base had firmed up even more and tasted more like dough. Will definately be making it again!!

Can i also brag please..... did my OH and step son some pizza for tea, i love pizza but i stuck to plan and had cheese and brocolli pasta n sauce with sweetcorn thrown in for the last 5 minutes of cooking. :happy036:
I am VERY pleased with myself for that thank you very much!:thankyou:

Hi, sorry to be a pain but I just wanted to clear this up as this thread seems mixed on whether or not tomato puree and instant mash are free...

Are they both free, or not? Want to make sure I do it right!
