Your Slimming World Healthy Extra A list for 2024 is a key part of your eating plan, and you’ll be pleased to hear that it gives you an allowance of dairy (or dairy free alternatives!) to enjoy every day.

This is in addition to your Syns, your speed foods, and your free foods.

Your Healthy Extra A contains items that can give you extra vitamins and calcium and also allows you to enjoy some of your favourite foods. 

Don’t worry if you’re vegetarian, vegan, have a food intolerance, or just prefer to avoid dairy products.

There’s a great selection of substitutes to choose from too.

(If you’re looking for your Healthy Extra B, I’ve got an unofficial guide to that, as well).

The additional good news is that you thanks to recent changes from Slimming World, you can now have TWO Healthy Extra A options every day! 

The only way to get an up to date and completely accurate list is to join Slimming World, either online or at a local group.

It’s well worth doing this, as it will give you all the tools and support you need to stay on track and reach your goals. 

How to make the most of your Slimming World Healthy Extra A list

As always, it’s worth pointing out that one of big beauties of Slimming World is that it’s so flexible.

So it’s down to you to decide exactly how you want to use your Healthy Extra A allowance.

Here are a few ideas that you might want to try though… 

  • Make a milky coffee to enjoy with your breakfast
  • Pour milk over your cereal, with added fruit
  • Enjoy cheese on toast for your lunch or a mid-afternoon snack
  • Dice up some smoked cheese to make your salads extra special
  • Create a grazing box for your lunch, including Babybel
  • Whip up a fruity milkshake

These ideas might be things that you typically already do anyway.

If so, you’ll be pleased to know that you don’t have to completely ditch all your previous eating habits.

It may just be a case of making some small changes, such as keeping an eye on your portion sizes, or changing to a reduced fat option.

Cooking with your Healthy Extras

Of course, you don’t have to have your Healthy Extras on their own. You can in fact use them as ingredients for your main meals.

Here’s just a few examples (just be sure to carefully select your ingredients and cross reference them against your official list)…

This meatzza uses creamy mozzarella on top of a meaty, protein-packed base.

These ham & cheese calzones are another popular choice, and will satisfy your takeaway cravings.

Don’t be scared to experiment!
