Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 I assume you mean " ice cream sundae " without the ice cream, Pat...yes, ricotta sweetened with some DaVinci syrup and a few berries is a Very Nice lowcarb dessert. I tried mixing some plain yogurt with it a few times but that made my BGs go up ..so I stopped adding the yogurt. I guess some people can eat the plain yogurt with no problem but I'm not one of them sigh.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 Well....I get them at my local lowcarb store (luckily within walking distance of my house!) but I've seen them in online lowcarb stores...try Carbsmart, though there are many others. I think Rick Mendosa may have them as a link on his website (but maybe not)...or you could do a Google search for lowcarb stores...or maybe someone on this list could give a few URLs.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 Hi, Art...good to hear from you again. It's been so long since you posted that I thought maybe you'd dropped off the list. How're you doing? Vicki In a message dated 07/20/2002 11:17:22 AM US Mountain Standard Time, moseart@... writes: > Looks and > tastes great and virtually NO carbs or sugars.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 Lucky that it doesn't raise your BGs...because Cool Whip does have carbs - and sugar. And the 2% milk has more carbs than real cream...so I'd suggest just forgetting those two items and using real cream for an even lower carb yummy drink.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 ut, oh, i think i may have found something wonderful here. i love the drinks at Starbucks and coffee houses, but i don't get them any more, because i know they are loaded with sugar. this sounds like something i could handle. i know i have a recipe for " fontana " syrup, and had no clue what it was. and didn't know they carried davinci, and was buying it and having it shipped in. yippppppeeeeee. life is good. pat > flavored syrup, > a splash of 2% milk and top it off with cool whip or reddy whip.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 OK, so where do you get the DaVinci syrups? I have a friend that does Atkins and she swears by them, so maybe I should give them a try.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 OK, so where do you get the DaVinci syrups? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I buy mine at Starbuck's. Caribou Coffee also carries a brand called Fontana which comes in Vanilla and Caramel. Both brands are delicious (I think I've used all the available flavors, including chocolate. I use about one bottle a week. . . Make myself a delicious, good looking iced drink with strong coffee or espresso over ice with a tsp of Splenda, a good dash of the flavored syrup, a splash of 2% milk and top it off with cool whip or reddy whip. Looks and tastes great and virtually NO carbs or sugars. I always do it an a large, clear glass and I swear the appearance of it makes me drool:-) Art Art Mc moseart@...
