20 BEST SLIMMING FRIENDLY ADVENT CALENDARS 2020
Welcome to the ultimate guide to Slimming friendly advent calendars of 2020. Scrap the chocolate and cut down on those Syns on the run up to the festive period.
Excited for Christmas? Well after a pretty rubbish year we certainly need something to look forward to… I have noticed Christmas decorations popping up all over the place. I think people will really be making the most of the Festive cheer this year and after a particularly arduous year, and why not?
Today I want to bring to you a huge range of healthy alternatives when it comes to advent calendars. A healthy advent calendar, can there really be such a thing? Oh yes 100%. Sadly you won’t be finding any 99p bargains here.. these advent calendars are slightly higher in price than your average supermarket deal. But I have done my best to offer a range of prices from £10 upwards. These alternative advent calendars are becoming increasingly popular and even poor Mrfatgirlskinny has been forced to fork out this year!
However, if you are happy to use your Syn’s on Chocolate treats, please do! Christmas is all about indulging and I am all for using those little Syns of goodness on something we love. But if you fancy saving the Syns for elsewhere and trying something new please check out my guide to the “20 Best Slimming Friendly Advent Calendars”.
