ITALIAN SODAS: Many readers of this site use the wonderful sugar-free syrups to flavor shakes, puddings, coffee and more, but have you used it to make an Italian Soda? Indulge in this great treat and experiment with a variety of flavors... without the guilt.
Ingredients:
8oz Sparkling Water or Club Soda
Ice (Crushed or Cubes)
1 TB (more or less to taste) of your favourite Sugar-Free Syrup (Da Vinci/ Torani)
Optional: 1 oz Milk (from your morning allowance)
Directions:
1. Add ice cubes to a tall glass
2. Pour in your choice of Sugar-free flavored syrup
3. Add sparkling water or club soda
4. Add milk if desired.
NOTE: Although most sugar-free syrups are carb-free, be sure to check the label! There are a couple of flavors which do have carbs.
The sugar-free syrups should be free to use in many recipes such as additions to shakes, puddings, jell-o, or even as a topping for pancakes.
Some coaches allow use of 1 oz sugar-free whipped cream instead of the milk. I do not use it. (logic is that its ok for Atkins and will not negatively affect your ketosis, but its not recommended for Phase 1 Ideal Protein)
There is another thread on this board where folks list their favourite (and NOT favourite) flavors.
