My C told me that you can't use skimmed milk as a HEXA 
I love my cappuccinos and lattes.

Hi,
I'd imagine you could take 6 syns off this (as long as tall isn't more than 350ml) but they would still be syns. I'm on the hunt for Costa now
Hope this helps x

hi
why cant you use skimmed milk as a HEXA?
It says you can in the handbook??
I found this....if i minus 6 syns for my milk does that mean its syn free, surely the syrup is synned??

Kate, I agree with you but I'm just saying what my C said. I'm not happy, I dont usually have milk anyway so having a skinny latte should be my HEXA, but she says no. Someone else here might be able to tell us more.

I don't think I'd "officially" count the 6 syns as a HExA but if I was on Red / Green and have only used one A, I'm more likely to allow myself to go over a bit more on my syns with milk (if that makes sense??) I don't think I'd do it a lot though. Might ask at class on Thurs what my consultant thinks.
Have a great day x

IMHO I would say use the 350ml of skimmed milk as a HExA, especially if you aren't likely to use it otherwise as it's important we get our calcium etc. I remember my consultant saying in the past that you have to be careful of quantities and syrups, but as you've synned them up, it should be fine. Don't worry. I will try and ask on Thurs x

I always count my starbucks or costa drink as an A choice. It's milk - why shouldn't you?
Be careful when the syrup isn't sugar free - it may be one syn a pump, but they use 3 pumps in a tall, 4 pumps in a grande etc etc

So does anyone know if this also applies to costa frescatos?! the milky ones...do you think it would be safe to deduct 6 syns if counting it as an a?! if so im off now
Hubby would love to know this as these are his favourites. But I've watched them make it and they put powder in (a thickener?) so surely theres a syn value in there??
