Bocca Meatleass burgers

Diet Hot Coca (chololate) 45 calories/pack, I found lite @ Superstore but it's 100 calories!

Sugar free syrups

I live in Surrey and my main shopping is done at the Superstore or Safeway

Hi there.  Do the best you can with what you've got.  Look for any meatless burgers.  My favorite is Schneider's Meatless Burger.  Yummy.
Use Light peanut butter.
 
s/f syrups can be ordered online from this store in Ontario http://www.thelowcarbgrocery.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=132 _33_192
or maybe go into a Starbucks store near you and ask where they get their syrups

And I'm thinking the hot chocolate you might be able to make yourself.  I thought I saw a recipe recently on one of the boards-maybe Dr Amson's site for hot chocolate.

Thanks for mentioning the cookbook.  I did not know about  that one and will go read about it on Amazon.

Take Care

I drove down to Bellingham to buy some items. For example, Carnation Instant chocolate which is sugar free, sugar free chocolate syrup, sugar free jams, sugar free syrups, the list goes on and on..lots of things that we do not have here.

Email me if you want me to tell you more

Take care, Sim

You *might* be able to find bocca burgers at Costco...I keep meaning to get a new membership there!

What I've gotten from safeway before are the money's mushroom burgers which are pretty much the same thing as the bocca ones.  Safeway has that meat alternatives food section usually right near the produce, they might have the bocca brand there.  The Moneys patties I found in the frozen foods aisle.

Costco has some portabella mushroom meatless patties which I've gotten before.  They have a stronger taste, and are good with some BBQ sauce on em.

I havent really looked for hot chocolate before...I wonder though, if you can make chocolate protein powder hot chocolate style?
I saw some sugar free/low carb/cholesterol free protein powder at Reflex at Guildford today

There's a health food store beside Pet Food N More in Newton (my mom knows one of the ladies there) it might be a good place to check for the more specialty stuff like perhaps SF syrup / peanut butter?

Yeah, I was going to suggest Bellingham too...I have gotten the Bocca meatless stuff at Fred Meyers grocery store and at Albertsons. I found Walmart in Bellingham didn;t have a great selection but the super walmart did down in Marysville!

It is important to note that these products are not a substitute for your protein and should not be eaten regularly but are just there for when you want to add a little flavor, taste or you just want something for a treat occasionally.

Also look into the Davinci sugar free syrups- they come in many flavors.

Have fun shopping.

Thanks Sim,

I had to go to Sumas the other day so picked a few things up, but will be doing a more intense shopping when we go to Seattle at the end of the month.
