Thread: Your fav uses for Hood's low carb drinks

I love this low carb milk, chocolate and regular. The chocolate is only 3 carbs per 8 oz., and both are high in protein. I don't drink it constantly, or every day, but it sure works for me, I mostly use them in a smoothie I make. I use either the plain or choc., mix in a couple of scoops of egg white protein, or whey protein, both of which are loaded with amino acids and such. The yogurt's not bad either.

I haven't seen much mentioned about them on these sites, so thought I'd ask if anyone does use these, what are your favorite way?

O.K. O.K, I know someone is going to mention something bad about ingredients here, but they save me from bad carb cravings!

I love the Carb Countdown lc lemonade drink (by Hood). It's great to use for the occaisional juice craving.

And, I must say, I use it to make lc margaritas.

Hey there!

Ooooh! I love HOOD's low carb chocolate milk. It really tastes no different than regular chocolate milk. I am lactose intolerant too and it doesn't affect me in small amounts. Unfortunately in Canada we don't have HOOD products here so I have to go to the States to get it. Booo!! Something about the addition of Vitamin K that the Canadian government doesn't like. ? Who knows....

Anyhow, when I had some, I LOVED it in....get this.....Atkins Morning Start "Blueberry Burst" cereal! It was AWESOME! Try it.....like dessert in the morning.

Yummmy!!!

the hood lc chocolate milk i havent bought in a long time but i will be agin.. i buy the 2% for some cooking,bakeing , and cereal and coffee..

the chocolate milk i buy and drink hot.. i dont care for the taste of it cold.. some reason it leaves an after taste in my mouth i dont care for.. when drinking it warm i still get it .. but its not as bad... i am aprehensive about buying the non dairy drinks by hood.. ill end up like Tina, they just realy seem to tempting for me..

Yeah, I know what you mean about the little aftertaste from the chocolate; but it's more than worth it to me, 'cause I sure do enjoy it WHILE I drink it, so that doesn't stop me. If I had to, I would run brush my teeth afterward

The thing that keeps me from going overboard with it is the cost. I'm too much of a "tightwad", for back of a better word to drink lots of it. It's more like a treat for me.

i tried the orange juice kind few months ago.. wasnt bad.. but then i remembered i dont LIKE orange juice..*L*
i got the chocolate milk once several months ago.. same results.. and same light bulb moment of not LIKING chocolate milk..*L*
i buy the white.. i use it for coffee sometimes.. THIS time i got it because i saw sugarfree jello brand BUTTERSCOTCH pudding..
i havent made it.. might not EVER make it..*L* i am kinda wierd that way.. if i get something that i THINK i may want .. i dont feel compelled to actually HAVE that thing..*L*
i always tell myself i will have a half slice of wheat bread at buffet NEXT TIME maybe.. well in 9 months it is STILL next time..*L*
i STILL have the cornbread LC mix daughter bought me months ago.. (hey.. if i cant eat several squares.. why BOTHER..*L*)
