Aldi's new super-cheap low syn wine range!

Credit: Aldi 

Aldi have been serving up the good stuff for us slimming worlders for a while now, with a long list of items that suit the plan to a T. This, however has to be one of their most interesting offerings so far. A range of wines called "Featherweight" that, at a mere 55 calories for a small glass  (150mls) makes this a very low syn wine -  3 syns per glass. 

At about half the ABV of a regular wine (5.5%) you will be ever-so-gracefully buzzed on this low syn wine. Whats more  - it is very cheap at just £2.99 a bottle. The range is only available in selected stores around the UK currently. Have you come across it? Please share the love with your fellow slimming worlders by commenting below if you have seen it in your local.

Cheers to Aldi! 

Watermelon Vodka Jelly Shots - Very low syn!

Summers here, and it's time to have a bit of fun! If you are planning a barbeque or a garden party, these watermelon vodka shots will go down a storm. If you don't drink alcohol, you could easily leave out the vodka and have a fun sweet treat. But... you'd be missing out!

18 Servings (approx)

Ingredients

• 1 watermelon
• 2 x 12g sachets of gelatine
• 500ml of "no added sugar" fruit squash (any flavour) undiluted
• 150mls of vodka (18 syns for whole batch)
• Juice of 2x lemons or limes

Directions

1. Cut the watermelon in half, and using a spoon scoop out the majority of flesh, leaving about 1cm (you want to be left with two big bowl shapes for the jelly)
2. Mix ingredients in a large bowl, and pour into the watermelon "bowls"
3. Put in the fridge to set for around 3 hours
4. The jelly should be firm to the touch.Slice the watermelon into about 18 fun-sized pieces, pop 'em onto a colourful plate, and await the oohs and aahs!
