I'm looking into buying some products from netrition.com and would like some input on what is good. What you have tasted and liked.
I'm looking at jam, some pancake mixes, crackers etc.
I know I like the Da Vinci syrup, that is a for sure and definately NO bars. I've tried some and I'm not willing to waste my money or chance a stall. Can anyone help me out and recomends products?

Thanks
Deana

I buy my low carb tortillas through there. I wouldn't reccomend the Davinci chocolate sauce, it just isn't quite right... LOL.

The tortilla's are awesome. Regular flavor and the garlic herb flavor rock.

DO NOT BUY LC PASTA!!! super yuck. Don't bother.

Some of the bars are ok, but most have a nasty fake flavor.

I tried the atkins bread a few times. If you really missed bread, this is ok. Doesn't taste like traditional bread, but it doesn't taste like that nasty styrofoam LC Pasta either.

I tried the Flax-O-Meal Sugar Free Granola, Cinnamon Nutrageous (from Low Carb Success) They taste like broken up granola bars - very yummy!

I also like the Atkins chocolate chip crisp morning start bars - I couldn't find them anywhere else so I got those as well. ...oops, noticed the no bars. Though I have to say - these DON'T taste like the advantage protein bars (or any other protein bars for that matter) - they kind of taste like chewy granola bars.

And though I get mine from the grocery store, if they aren't available where you are, the LaTortilla Low carb tortillas are TO DIE FOR! I can't live without them in my house anymore!

I know you probably already placed your order, but along with the other things I have bought the steeles strawberry jam sweetened with splenda. It is a lot better than that 50/50 jam with aspartame. But not as good as the real stuff . It sure makes great pb &j's .Yum. Guess what I am going to have right now. pb &j . I hate that . Talking about something ,then I have to eat it.

Thank you so much for suggesting the jam. I actually haven't ordered yet I was hoping someone would suggest which jam to buy. There were a couple of brands and I wasn't sure if one was better than the other. Now I know which one to try.

Thanks cincin11

I didnt try any other ones. At first I didnt like it that much but then it grew on me. lol. Its not the same as the sugar kind. Maybe try the other one. or buy both. I wish I had ordered more , I am out now,the one I am going to make now is gonna have the 50/50 junk . but thats all I got left.

Sorry , but here I go again. I also bought Davinci syrups, cookie dough,pancake and vanilla. For dessert I make peanut butter, a davinci syrup , and cream ,maybe some cocoa. I used to use splenda ,but dont anymore. Why waste the carbs. I use davinci for sweetener. The cookie dough or vanilla are great in coffee too. Almost like dessert. I use it every morning. pancake not very good.

I'm not sure of this so don't quote me. But I'm thinking I was the 50/50 in the grocery store and it had hydrogenated oil in the ingredients? I've looked at so many labels lately I'm not sure if it was the jam or PB anymore. LOL

Can you tell me does your bottle have hydrogenated in it or not?

Keto jam is good too. Compare size and price with Steeles.
Steels praline sauce is good but I didn't like the chocolate sauce.
La tortilla has their own website so you can compare prices there.

I've found the DaVinci syrups at TJ Max and Marshalls for $5.99 a bottle. Cheaper than buying online.

50/50 no hydrogenated oil. lol. I wouldnt mind if it did. Half the things I buy the kids have hyd. oil in it. I cant get away from it. I try ,but its hard. microwave popcorn even has it.So, I bought the kernels to do it the old fashioned way. I tried to make my own cookies ,thinking that would keep it out of the kids diets. but chocolate chips have hyd.oil in them ,too. Whats a mom to do?

oops, the grape one(50/50) I have smells like grape jolly ranchers. Yuck , like candy .

It is hard to keep it out of ones diet. I had no idea how many things were made of hydroginated until I started reading the labels. It's pretty sad the make it knowing how bad it is for people.

Deana

Thanks for looking for me.

I recommend the Keto raspberry and black currant jams, and the Atkins banana harvest cereal..and of course the Tortilla Factory tortillas. Netrition doesn't stock the new Atkins bagels, do they? If they do, I can recommend the plain--much better than Todd's, not as spongy. They toast up really well too. As far as LC pasta, I've wasted money on just about every brand andhaven't yet found one that is edible.

Gary,
I don't see the Atkins bagels on the list of items for netrition.
But I will keep an eye out for them, I've been missing bagels.

Thanks

I want bagels too. What I have been doing is frying a tortilla in olive oil and putting cream cheese inside. It tastes pretty good. I will be looking for the keto jam also. I know some places that sell keto cereal ,maybe they got jam.

i heard they're really nasty ... the best LC breads and bagels i've ever tried are low carb emporium's -- rEALLY good - - 1 carb per slice, 2.5 for a whole bagel!
