I am just wondering if anyone else ever drinks these while they are lc'ing it...I don't drink them as much as I use to but do enjoy the taste when I am craving something sweet. Usually have the espresso where I work make me a sf snickers (sf vanilla, chocolate, caramel and hazelnut) with club soda and just a splash of cream. Delicious! Usually, if I've been good and have eaten clean the whole week, then this is my little treat...

I've been drinking those for years now - first on WW (with fat free half & half!) and now on LC with real cream. I have at least 35 flavors of sugarfree DaVinci syrups so mix and match according to my mood. I buy seltzer water (salt-free) at Safeway by the case. DH and I are always concocting something!!

Really satisfies that need to have something SPECIAL while staying totally on plan.

Yep, I like the Italian sodas, too. And it's something you can get when you're out because they usually have the sugar free syrups.

But you still have to watch them--I posted a few weeks ago about a place that was making their sodas with 7-up instead of club soda! Good thing the guy told me before I drank it.

Thanks for the reminder. I haven't made one in years. I used to love them. Definitely nice to be reminded of them since I've given up all other artificially sweetened sodas (too sweet).

Just about any 'gourmet' coffee place has italian sodas..(ex. Starbucks, Gloria Jean's, etc.) They are yummy!

It would be very low, just a few for the cream, I think. Just make sure they don't top it with whipped cream, because that will be sweetened.
