Low Carb Products --which have you tried and which do you LIKE?

[Robinrs]

There seems to be SO many of them out there and I'm going crazy trying to figure out which to try. After all they're NOT cheap!!

I see lots of different posts about different ones so I thought we can put them all in one place, okay?

I'll start!!

Tried and LIKE:

Atkins Banana Nut Muffins - These are awesome!

Atkins Pancake and Waffle mix - My son LOVES these. He says he can tell the difference but likes them better!

Log Cabin Sugar Free Syrup

Walton Farms BBQ Sauce

Carbo lite chocolates

Most of these are endorsement from Michael who is HARD to please but, remember, he's 11!

I know I'll think of others, later.

Anyone else??

Hi Robin! I LOVE AdvantEdge Chocolate Chip Brownie protein bars. I've had one for breakfast nearly every day for over 6 months now (food is just grosses me out early in the morning, but I don't mind these bars). They're real chewy and chocolatey, have @25grams of protein and hardly any carbs/sugar. I actually CRAVE them! Glad you and Michael are doing well!

 

[Robinrs]

Thank YOU, Kim!

Those sound YUMMY!

I need to add

Atkins Chocolate Syrup - adding a dash to my decaffenated coffee with a teaspoon of Splenda and I'M IN HEAVEN!!!

My newest favorite is Keto ketchup. It is pastier than regular ketchup, and very tomatoey. I love it, but the price has just gone up. Last time I bought it, about a month ago, it was $5. Just replenished yesterday-----it was $6! Six dollars for ketchup may seem outrageous, but I think I am worth it.

 

[wiskband]

My favorites are.......

Breyer low carb ice cream

Arnold carb counting bread

Atkins chocolate wafers and peanut butter cups.

Sugar free jello no carbs!

 

[Robinrs]

A1A1: I don't care WHAT it costs I MISS ketchup!! Thanks for the recommendation.

Wiskband: I forgot to mention good ol' Jello! It's our nightly treat! I am so surprised at how much tastier it is since my first UGH taste of it about 10 years ago. We don't add anything to it, it just tastes good alone.

I love Arnold's low carb bread, it has the best taste and a really firm consistency. I also love the low carb Breyers ice cream, I have the chocolate and it is yummy. It is so nice to be able to treat yourself once in a while. Oh, and Smuckers no sugar strawberry jam, I really like that with my peanut butter toast in the morning.

DeLite Chocolate bars: DH is the chocolate fiend and loves theses. I think they have an aftertaste, but are good for when you want something sweet.

Carb Lite Ice cream bars and fudge bars: These are great.

Atkins breakfast bar Apple Crisp: I bought these for snacks--very convenient to carry and they taste better to me than the Atkins Brownie Bar. I slip these into my purse or briefcase for a late afternoon snack so that I don't arrive home starved and eat wildly.

DH does Atkins and up until now hasn't really used too many low carb products. But we just bought Keto Banana Nut Hot Cereal and he said it's really good. He was thrilled. We bought it at GNC. They have tons of low carb products. I think we're going to be shopping there more often!

 

[Beanie]

I absolutely love the Tortillas from La Tortilla! I really like the taste of them and since I love bread, these are my fix on that! Also another vote for the Keto Ketchup! It is more tomatoey then I would like, but it is better than nothing! I have also had the Keto Frosted Flakes, which are good as well...I use the Atkins Carb Countdown milk with this!

I cannot eat anything that has Sugar Alcohol in it! Well, I can, but will suffer after...that stuff really does have an effect on me!

 

[Robinrs]

I forgot about La Tortilla! I haven't tried them yet but I've been making quesadillas for Michael with them and he BEGS for them! My sister bought some this weekend also on his recommendation!

Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone! Keep them coming!

I can't find the Arnold's bread, but Aunt Millie's makes a pretty good low carb bread. Only $2.30. I love the Divinci syrups. They are cheaper than the atkin's syrups, and they have lots of flavors. I also discovered low carb chocolates from Russell Stover. The chocolat mint and chocolate toffee only have .2 gm per piece. Very yummy.

 

[Brier Rose]

I found my new favorite last night!
Carb Smarb Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream Bars from Klondike.
These are SOOO good! I was really surprised, and only 3 net carbs per bar. They are made with Splenda, and even before you subtract to get your net carbs they only have 9 grams of total carbs.

I also really like the chocolate fudge brownies from Blimpie. I've only had one, and saving another to eat only in case of emergency, but they have 0 carbs!

Of course you can't go wrong with the sugar free Russell Stover candy!


Can you tell I like chocolate!

For something non chocolate though, I really like Jolly Rancher Sugar Free Raspberry geletin with a little whipped cream made with Splenda!

 

[princessmomma]

Where do you purchase the ketchup?

As for the other Atkins products, do I need to purchase those on line or can they be found in stores?

 

[RUDisney]

Atkins cereal is really good. I have the one with the almonds in it now.

Keto faux oatmeal is good. The first time is not very good, but you'll get used to it fast... especially if you add some LC chocolate or vanilla syrup to it.

Low Carb Success has a flaxseed cereal that is really good. I put butter and splenda in mine with a little half and half. It fills me well into lunchtime.

Keto crumbs are great for breading chicken. I like the plain ones that I can add dried basil and Adobo seasoning to. This is MUCH better than the Italian style Keto Crumbs.

The Atkins ice cream and ice cream bars are wonderful. I don't care for the Breyers, but I LOVE the Klondike bars.

Carbolite makes great products. The only one I haven't liked is the Cheesecake mix. Trust me, make you're own with splenda instead of trying this one.

We like the Atkins candy, the Russell Stover and SF Hershey's.

I don't care much for the Atkins bake mix. I think it's very salty.

As for where to buy these things... some of the larger grocery stores carry them. I buy some on ebay. I buy others at GNC, or from www.drugstore.com. Remember, if you're a member of GNC's club, you get a % off your total purchase during the first 7 days of each month.

Oh, and GNC had LC Arizona Green Tea last time I went. YUM!

I like the Atkins chocolate shakes, but they are quite expensive (just under $20 at Sam's for 12), and the taste takes a little getting used to. But they are a good substitute for the hot cocoa I used to drink a lot.

 

[Robinrs]

Hi, Nancy!

I haven't tried the shakes, yet but would like to. The AdvantEdge shakes are on sale this week at Kroger, $3.64, half price for 4 and I have a $2.00 coupon! Has anyone tried AdvantEdge?

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

The AdvantEdge Shakes are pretty good (the chocolate ones, anyway), but not as thick and creamy (but lower fat/calorie than Atkins).

I love Atkins shakes...chocolate, vanilla, and cafe au lait.

 

[Baileymouse]

Wow! Where to begin.....

OK, here we go:

Most of the sauces and stuff from Walden Farms are pretty good.

I like the Keto Banana Nut or Apple Cinnamon hot cereals. I tried the strawberry & cream variety, but it had these hard to chew thingies in it and ruined it for me.

I like the Keto cocoa crunch when I want a cereal, but that's not often.

The Atkins pancake mix is good! I've used the low carb syrup, too, don't like it that much but it's passable.

From the Atkins bars line I like the Mocha Crunch and chocolate peanut butter. A few years ago Atkins bars tasted nasty, but they were reformulated and they're good.

Atkins Morning Start Cinnamon Bun and Chocolate crisp are delicious, but good luck trying to find the chocolate crisp -always sold out.

Carb Smart Klondike fudge bars - soooo delicious - and the ice cream bars, too. Yum! Great for a treat in the evening.

Atkins Banana Nut, Orange Cranberry or any other muffins - I stick with those first two because they're lower carb than the others. Dreamy!

DaVinci syrups - add 'em to your coffees or something - they're pretty tasty.Made with Splenda.

Splenda - couldn't have gotten thru the holidays without it!

And yes, I am bad, I drink a coffee a day but I use cream and 1 splenda in it.

 

[Robinrs]

Well, I'm FINALLY off induction and can try some of stuff I've been giving Michael...

CarbSmart Ice Cream: One taste and my EYES rolled back into my head!

Carb Counting Thomas Bagels: I ate a half, 8 net carbs with butter and a slice of swiss cheese. A Brooklyn girl without a bagel is against the law! It hit the spot!

Kroger Lite Vanilla Yogurt: Made with Splenda, VERY good. Yummy!
