Smoothie
Recipes
Re: Last year you posted a site that had low carb and low
calorie syrups. I can't find the name of the site but could you post
the name of the site and the syrups you said like the best for smoothies.
Also how much of the syrup do you use in smoothies.

I love to make smoothies with these syrups and use 1/4
cup syrup, 1/4 cup water and 5 or 6 ice cubes and blend them together.
If I added banana flavoring I would add a teaspoon to the smoothie before
mixing. If you are on a low carb diet it added a bit more to the
smoothie by adding a tablespoon of cream. The smoothie would be zero
calories and zero carbs and would take away the need to eat something sweet.
I have tried a lot of low calorie and low carb syrups but
in my opinion the
Naturesflavors had the best flavor than the others.
If you are on a low carb diet you can add a tablespoon of cream to the
smoothie before blending. It made it taste almost like a milkshake.
Cream was really great with the
peach flavor. My next door neighbors in Canyon would come
over and we would play games and make smoothies. They liked the cream with
the
raspberry and the
strawberrry the best.
