Allowed Drinks List

Whilst Slim & Save do not recommend drinking anything other than water whilst on plan, we realise from the many requests we get each day that our customers often have the need for some other drink options.

Whilst we are not able to make a list of drinks which are not allowed we would like to confirm that “Diet Coke” (by Coca-Cola) is not allowed as is this the most frequently requested drink.

We try to keep the above list up to date, but unfortunately manufacturers do change ingredients so whilst every effort is made to ensure the list is accurate you may find listed products contain citric acid, caffeine or more calories than we believe. If you spot any inaccuracies then please let us know as soon as possible.
