This Pancake Day, supplier Sweet Freedom is making it easier than ever to enjoy pancakes without the sugar spikes, thanks to its Light Syrup, a better-for-you liquid sweetener with 31% fewer calories than sugar and only 13 calories per teaspoon.

With approximately 117 million pancakes enjoyed on Pancake Day – and 34% topped with the classic lemon and sugar - Sweet Freedom has calculated that swapping to its syrup could collectively save a staggering 199 million calories.

“Pancake Day is all about indulgence, and with our Light Syrup, you can treat yourself without compromising on taste and health,” said Nadine Maggi, MD at Sweet Freedom. “You don’t need refined sugar to enjoy something delicious and it’s the perfect way to make smarter choices without missing out.”

A recent survey by Sweet Freedom has revealed that 76% of people have syrup in their kitchen cupboards, yet many are looking for healthier and more exciting options to enjoy it more often. When asked what would make them reach for syrup more frequently, the top responses were fewer calories/less sugar (34%) and the availability of new, interesting flavours (22%).
