Da Vinci Syrups--omg!

  • I've heard about Da Vinci syrups but have never tried them myself. While doing some internet searching for a low-carb eggnog recipe I came across a link about Da Vinci syrups, which are sugar and carb free and supposedly taste AMAZING. I was under the impression that Da Vinci syrups only came in stuff like caramel, chocolate, etc but I was VERY WRONG! For those of you who were Da Vinci clueless like me, check out this list:

    Almond
    Amaretto
    B-52
    Banana
    Blueberry
    Butter Rum
    Butterscotch
    Caramel
    Chai Tea
    Cherry
    Chocolate
    Cinnamon
    Coconut
    Cookie Dough
    Cream de Menthe
    Dulce de Leche
    Egg Nog
    English Toffee
    French Vanilla
    German Chocolate Cake
    Gingerbread
    Original Hazelnut
    Huckleberry
    Irish Cream
    Kahlua
    Lemon (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
    Lime
    Macadamia Nut
    Orange
    Pancake
    Peach
    Peanut Butter
    Peppermint Paddy
    Pineapple
    Praline
    Pumpkin Pie
    Raspberry
    Sweetening Syrup
    Strawberry
    Toasted Marshmallow
    Vanilla
    Watermelon
    White Chocolate

    Can you say YUM? These would be awesome for the holidays...Imagine some almond milk mixed with some ice and Egg Nog syrup in a blender for an Egg Nog milkshake? Or dessert coffees with unlimited options...Pumpkin pie coffee, Gingerbread coffee...I see there's also a Chai Tea flavor, I love Chai Tea! In the summer, SNOWCONES! You could pour cherry, watermelon, grape, pretty much any fruity flavor over shaved ice and have a snowcone!

    Be careful though because I'm sure these syrups could stall if used excessively, and none of them should be used excessively. They may also trigger sugar cravings.
    I want to pick out a couple to order for the holidays...I'm looking at you, Pumpkin Pie and Egg Nog!
  • I've been making sugar-free egg nog for a diabetic friend for years during the holidays. And we put a big shot of bourbon in it too! I'll dig up the recipe and post it. It's absolutely delicious.
  • Those syrups look yummy! I wonder if they are available in Canada...
  • Yes, they are, Stephanie. http://www.thelowcarbgrocery.com/
  • i wonder how they taste, i was looking at torani syrups and they have aesculfame k - and i dont like that stuff i want one with just sucralose.
  • They are very good (IMHO that is lol), I used to make home made whipped cream, Atkins friendly and add some orange to it. I would also marinate my chicken in the orange before putting it on the grill. The coconut one is good too...

  • Linsy let me know how you like the Pumpkin... that sounds great !
  • Sandy--That would be awesome! Eggnog and green bean casserole are my favorite holiday treats. I plan on having a bit of green bean casserole but eggnog is full of sugar and I need my eggnog fix somehow!

    LoveRyGuy--I think I read that they don't have that yucky artificial sweetener aftertaste.

    Leenie--The pumpkin was sold out on the website that I was looking at but I might be able to find it elsewhere. If I end up ordering it I'll let you know.
  • Ruth, thanks! I've never seen them before
  • I love these! I'm bummed because I can only find the Sugar Free Toffee here in Japan . Nobody will ship the others to my APO address, either. I used to get all sorts of flavors at World Market in the states! There are a 100 different ways to use them and I agree they don't have any weird aftertaste like the powdered sweeteners do.

    I'm not Linsy, but I love the pumpkin pie. I use it in my protein shake to make pumpkin pie flavored shakes - vanilla protein powder, almond milk, a little cinnamon and the pumpkin pie syrup. I bought mine at World Market. http://www.worldmarket.com/home/index.jsp
  • That sounds tasty, mm! You guys are making me hungry, haha.
