Mandy,

They are definitely good enough for snow cones! That's a great idea, BTW.

In Washington State (and maybe Oregon, too) Cash & Carry sells large bottles (25.4 oz) of DaVinci syrups for $3.65! A great bargain for us low carb 'left coasters' ... I've noticed they don't carry every flavor, but maybe 90% of the varieties listed on the DaVinci site. I have 14 different flavors and use them in practically everything.

can anyone tell me how many (if any) carbs are in these syrups?

There are a big fat zero carbs in the Davinci syrups; they are sweetened with the liquid form of Splenda, which is carb free because it does not contain the filler that gives powdered Splenda its carbs.

thanks for the info and do you have an opinion as to the liquid stevia?

I'm not crazy about stevia; I prefer Splenda, but that's just a matter of individual taste because a lot of people like stevia very much.

Having said that, the best liquid stevia I tried came from a company in Texas, Stevita, url www.stevitastevia.com. They grow and process their own stevia, which as I said was the best I tried. I found their name in a stevia cookbook I bought, which said theirs had a higher percentage of pure stevia or something like that.

I'm thinking of ordering some Divinci Syrup, but I want to limit myself to one or two flavors-- any recomendations? Also, has anyone found a site with the best prices for these products? Thanks.

best price i have found them is at tj maxx and marshalls $5.99 for largest bottle. I like just about all flavors! I have stocked up on many bottles and use them in lots of things, coffee,water,shakes,desserts ect.

I've found the SF vanilla (not French vanilla) and hazelnut flavors at both Kroger and Super Walmart in my area. Kroger had the small bottles for $3.29; Walmart had the large bottles (near the coffees & teas) for $5.57. I've ordered other flavors directly from davinci's website (link is found earlier in this thread).

Have tried chocolate, vanilla, French vanilla, hazelnut, blueberry, and banana flavors so far. Like all well enough, but the French vanilla tastes slightly artificial to me, and the blueberry is sort of limited (imo) except for Italian sodas. (I tried using the blueberry for pancakes, but it didn't turn out like expected. Probably my fault with attempting to thicken it a bit. Will try again, though!)

Like others, I've used them in Italian sodas, to sweeten & flavor coffee and shakes. I especially like the banana syrup with the Keto Banana Shake -- much better banana flavor and only slightly more sweet. I occasionally will have a small glass (3oz) of cream thinned down with some syrup when I just want something thick, creamy and sweet. I've also used the syrups to substitute part of the liquid+splenda in recipes -- which not only tastes great, but reduces the total carb counts, too (since you don't have to count those pesky splenda maltodextrin carbs for the amount substituted). Works quite well in homemade SF ice cream, for instance.

Good stuff!

Am about to place an order for some new flavors, based on the recs here -- raspberry & Kahuli Caffe for certain, maybe Irish Cream and caramel, too.

I have never used these. Do any stores carry Torani & Da Vinci syrups? The shipping is outragous when buying online. Or.... is there an inexpensive place to purchase them online?

you may want to try marshalls, tjmaxx or ross - they have a great food section in the back of their store... stuff like coffee, pasta, dressings, etc. - it's also a great place to get some good olive oil and balsamic vinegar for your salads...

i believe GNC sells the atkins syrups but yes, the prices are high... i just bought some on www.vitaglo.com but spent $50 so i could get free shipping on everything... that website has THE best prices on bars, vitamins, lowcarb tortillas and atkins muffin mixes...

happy LC-ing...

Netrition has really cheap, flat rate shipping.

I get mine from netrition.com. Shipping is just $4.95 for an entire order. I usually get syrups, low carb tortillas, Keto banana pie shake, and other stuff all at once.

For DaVinci's I know you can go to their website:
www.davincigourmet.com and buy them direct. Their prices for the 750 ml are MUCH better than Torani's. AND for 3 bottles of the davinci's the shipping is only $4.95 ....it is only $6.95 for 6 bottles.

If you have Albertsons and Safeways...they carry the Torani sugar free vanilla from what I can find.

I found Davinci syrups at Walmart in the groceries, in the coffee aisle.
