i just wanted to let everyone know that i recently found some new flavor syrups from luzianne brand. they are unsweetened and have 0 carbs. they are meant to flavor iced tea but i think they're also great in shakes to punch up the fruit flavor without adding too much sweetness or any carbs. they come in raspberry and peach/apricot flavors and i found them at the super walmart next to the coffee and tea. perfect for early stages of atkins especially for someone like me that craves fruit and inexpensive at 96 cents a bottle

thanks for the info. I will have to check it out when I am there tonight.

I saw these too. Thought they might be nice to add a punch of flavor to the mock danish or put the raspberry in that chocolate cake recipe Mike posted.
Yummy!

Hi GG - what is the sweetner used in the syrups???

hi cjsmom. the syrups are unsweetened. thats why i like them so much, i can add my own splenda or davinci for just a little bit of sweet and then use the luziannes stuff for really intense fruit flavor. a word of caution though, a little goes a long way. if you use too much you get a very bitter taste, i think this is from the citric acid.

Oh, that is great! Thanks for the info.

I bought these the other day, and they are really good. And, for a buck a bottle, quite a deal. I tried the raspberry in iced tea...yum. I put a dash of the peach/mango in my protein shake...YUM! They really are cool, 'cause they don't make anything sweeter, like DaVinci syrups do, but you can punch up the flavor quite a bit.
I also made up a recipe of Kool-Aid jello, in strawberry, and put a shot of the raspberry in it, to make a sorta mixed berry flavor. Very good!!
I found mine in Super Wal-Mart, also.
