Syn-free Pizza | Low Syn Life

Syn-free Pizza Low Syn Life: "This isn't so much a recipe as an idea that you can adapt and customise to your own tastes. As it uses both an HEA and HEB you'll probably find it easiest to fit this in on either a Green or Original day.
Serves 1
Syn-free + 1 HEA + 1 HEB
Ingredients:
57g wholemeal pitta bread (HEB)
1 clove garlic, cut in half (optional)
4 tablespoons passata with herbs
57g reduced fat mozzarella, or 42g mozzarella/reduced fat cheddar, grated (HEA)
Your choice of toppings e.g. ham, tomato, onion, tuna, sweetcorn, etc. (remember to count syns for any that aren't free)
Method:
Heat the oven to 220C.
Split the pitta bread into two halves, place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 2-3 minutes to toast slightly
Rub the cut side of the garlic clove over the pitta bread bases
Spread the passata over the bread, add your toppings and the cheese
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the cheese is golden
My topping in the picture above: tuna, onion, tomato, capers, anchovies (0.5 syns for 28g on Original)"

Pork, Apple and Sage Burgers | Low Syn Life

Pork, Apple and Sage Burgers Low Syn Life: "4.5 syns for the whole recipe on Extra Easy and Original
Ingredients
500g lean pork mince (less than 6% fat) (2.5 syns)
1 egg
112g grated apple (2 syns when cooked)
1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
Method
Mix all the ingredients together and shape into 6 burgers. Grill for a few minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through."

Spiced Tea Loaf | Low Syn Life

Spiced Tea Loaf Low Syn Life: "The whole cake is 9 syns on all plans, or you can have it as a Healthy Extra B choice plus 4 syns (5 Scan Bran = HEB). Alternatively it would slice nicely into 9 pieces to make 1 syn per portion. A single slice would probably fill you up more than an Alpen Light bar!
Ingredients
5 Scan Bran
a large mugful of strong tea (I use 2 tea bags to make it)
28g dried mixed fruit (4 syns)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (0.25 syns - I don't bother to count it's so small)
5 tablespoons sweetener
2 tablespoons mixed spice
Method
Soak the Scan Bran and dried fruit in the tea until soft and mush it up
Add the remaining ingredients and mix
Pour into a microwaveable container (I use a silicone loaf tin) and microwave on high for 6-7 minutes"
