To be honest I've never found a good alternative. I now just syn the real thing. 3.5syns for a tablespoon of flour, 1 syn for 2 teaspoons of flora light and 4 syns for 200mls of skimmed milk. Split between 4 portions it's just over 2 syns each. This way my hubby and kids will eat it and I don't feel like I'm on a 'diet'
