products review...

I tried different products from low carb grocery recently, and, as promised, I'll give you my opinion on them...

1- Dreamfields pasta... Exactly like the real thing, used them in a family dinner, and even the kids didn't notice... ( They always try to find if I used some of MY stuff in THEIR meals!!)  I will buy again...

2- Dream bagels by Baker's deluxe... They are really really good, it doesn't look at all that they are low carbs. Really fulfilling and full of proteins ( 18 g ) by bagel. Cannot eat more than half at a setting, but I am so happy to be able to eat bagels now...

3- Lilly's sugar free biscottis I tried walnut chocolate. They are really hard. evendip in the coffee they don't get soft, and they leave a little powdery taste in the mouth, but they taste good and are really filling. I will order again, because I like the taste  and crunchness and the fact that I have to eat them slowly because of the texture...I ordered other flavor to taste...

4- Joseph's sugar free cookies,  chocolate chip and pecan walnut brownie... Didn't like them at all, they taste like those cheap cookies you buy at dollarama, they are dry and tastless... I will try to use them as crumbs to make a crust for a low- fat cheesecake.

5- Mama Lupe's low-carb tortillas. They are good, use it of wraps or fajitas, not as tasty as the real ones, but a good substitute. Will order again.

6- Extend crisps. These are a little snack soy base crisps. I tried zesty ranch. They taste like rice cakes, but I don't really like the zesty ranch flavour. I just order some cinnamon to try, because I like the nutrition ( 120 cal, 8 g proteins) of them, and they are supposed to keep your hunger at bay by stabilizing blood sugar.

I just made another order, will try baker's deluxe english muffins, and flax bread, and I needed some more bagels!! Another review next week!

I also try pure protein bars from Costco... Really like it, you get 2 flavours, chocolate and peanut butter. The chocolate taste like fudge...180 cal, 17 carbs and 21g proteins. And just 4g sugar alcohol ( because too much maltitol usually give me digestive issues...)
