Actually, I just threw them out a couple of weeks ago! There were still some left but I thought it might be time for a fresh box!!It just hasn't been hot enough here until the last couple of days. Next time I'm out I'll pick some up.

No worries, Bonnie, those Moderator habits are just a killer, aren't they? I planned to merge these posts anyway, being essentially the same subject... here goes.

PS: for another review of Chapman's icecream, including their new flavours available (in ONTARIARIARIO at least ), go here:
http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/reviews-frozen.html, which is of course LowCarb Luxury's excellent Reviews page for frozen TREATS.

Default Mr. Freeze, Sugar Free

Hmmmm, Deirdre, if you could add them to the site's LowCarb Yellow Pages when you DO pick them up, then you won't have to rely on memory, right?

PPS: there's a review of these babies, WITH Ingredient Information I think, at the LowCarb Luxury site I linked in the above post!

Enjoy.

Cool Mr. Freeze

I actually happen to have not one, but TWO boxes of Mr. Freeze in my hot little mitts right now My whole family really likes them, and it has been quite hot lately.

They are made with both sorbitol and Splenda, and have 1.4 g of carbs per freezie. Not bad for a favorite summer treat!!

I got my box(es) from Wal-Mart, for $3.97 each, and it is a big box, lasts for a while (hopefully!!). I will post this over in the Yellow Pages as well.

Regards,

Thanks for clearing up the mystery regarding the sugar alcohols

Default Frozen Yogurt-Carbolite, low-carb, 0 fat, 40 cal

http://www.carbolitedirect.com/

I stopped into a Penguin's Yogurt and found that they had Carbolite low carb frozen yogurt. It was fantastic! I found it on their website above.

They will sell it to the public, but in the form they sell it to the yogurt shops. You must add one bag of mix to one gallon of water. There is only chocolate and neutral mix. I bought both.

To make 1 quart of chocolate frozen yogurt:

2 1/8 cups mix
4 cups water

Mix in a blender for two minutes at lowest setting. Pour into your ice cream maker and let spin for 45 minutes. Tastes like Fudgesicle (spelling?) ice cream pops I used to eat as a kid.

To make 1 quart of creamy orange frozen yogurt:

2 cups neutral mix
4 cups water
22 drops yellow food coloring
4 drops red food coloring
1 tbsp orange extract

Mix in a blender for two minutes at lowest setting. Pour into your ice cream maker and let spin for 45 minutes. This is deeelishh, absolutely yummy. I think the neutral mix tastes better than the chocolate and I'm going to try a bunch of flavors. I'll update later.

This stuff stays soft in the freezer and is better after freezing a little.

Carbolite Frozen Yogurt:

Serving size: 1/2 cup

40 calories
0 g fat
5 g chol
45 g sodium
10 g carbohydrates
3 g fiber
4 g sugar alcohols
3 g protein

Label says effective carbs 4 g (if you don't count sugar alcohols)
With sugar alcohols: 7 g Effective Carbs

Hey, is there an Ingredient List on that product? That would be really helpful.

Thanks.

Unhappy Carbolite Frozen Yogurt?

I just moved to San Diego and discovered what I think is the most fabulous product ever...LOW CARB FROZEN YOGURT IN 112 (YES, THAT'S 112) FLAVORS! A local store called Sweet-n-Sugarfree rotates six flavors per day and it's absolutely to die for, but maybe a little bit too much so. There's about four carbs per 1/2 cup serving, and it takes LOTS of personal control to limit myself. Does anyone know why this is? Is it the Splenda or the four carbs or just the sweet taste?
I'm not sure how many carbs I should be consuming and how I should distribute them throughout the day...ANY ADVICE? I'd really appreciate feedback on the Carbolite Froyo and Carb Intake...thanks so much!

Problems with limiting means cravings being triggered (and I'm guessing sugar alcohols).

Search this forum (see the Search button on the upper right), I'm almost positive the Carbolite Frozen Ice Cream and/or Yogurt product has been discussed before.

You can also go to the Carbolite website to check label information, I'm sure.

On the other hand, staying here, you can get a good NET EFFECTIVE CARB COUNT rather than relying on the label (labels have been played with a lot in this business), use the Hidden Carb calculator from the orange menu bar above, click on Tools and take it from there, plugging in Calories, Fat & Protrein grams and stated Carb grams, then OK.

Default "ice cream"

Yesterday, at Wal-Mart, I got some "ice cream" called LeCarb. It is great!
It comes in chocolate, strawberry, and lemon in one pint containers. It is made with Splenda and has about 6 grams carb per 1/2 cup serving. It also contains glycerin which is a problem for some people.
For a very rare treat, it might be worth a try.

Default Has anyone tried Le Carb Frozen Dessert?

I went shopping at WalMart this afternoon and saw that they had low carb ice cream. It's put out by Goldenbrook and the name of it is LeCarb Frozen Dessert. I saw strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and lemon flavors. Total carbs per 1/2 cup was 6 and it said of that 2g are from glycerine. I'm not even sure what the significance of that statement is. I read the list of ingredients and it is sweetened with Splenda. Anyone tried it yet?

I think they're great! I especially like the lemon and chocolate. I also bought them at a Wal*Mart in Alabama. I hope that they sell well so that Wal*Mart keeps stocking them.

You are the first person from Alabama I have run across on here. I have been looking for Central Alabama folk to try to organize a low carb get together support group type thing. If you are in Central Alabama and think you might be interested, let me know. Surely there are more of us on here......
