The Brady Bunch

I'm about to re-up on my protein powder and want to add some sugar free flavoring syrup to the mix. I've been to netrition and seen DaVinci as well as Torani. Any advice on better syrup and specific flavors both good and bad? Oh the Brady Bunch link is the Brady's cut a record episode where Peters voice changes after Greg had paid his non-refundable deposit for studio time. "Time to Change". Ok so I'm a little wacked out... All that TV in the 80's has fried my brain.

It's a matter of your taste.

But, many I know that use flavored s/f syrups seem to like Starbucks the best.

Yeah, can't use Starbucks due to Religious/Humanitarian issues but thanks for the advice anyway.

The time to re arrange....shan na na na na na na na...sha na na na na....classic. silver platters.

Ahh, so you're a fellow BB'er then. Do you do The Walton's too? Now that's a classic.

I was just happy my name is Elizabeth :)

I think Torani is easier to acquire and tends to have better prices (overall). I think the taste is also fine if you can tolerate Splenda. DaVinci is NOT a bad syrup at all though.

I'd probably start with the small bottles, get vanilla or some other easy flavor in both and see which your system likes.

 

Netrition has them both listed so I assume I can order either, also I am going to my local bariatric store tomorrow and they carry it too, so which flavors would you folk recommend or advise against?

My favorite way to drink the syrups is with club soda. I like caramel with club soda and heavy cream. ;) I also like vanilla and Bailey's for steamers (steamed milk). I buy the simple syrup as the general 'go to' flavor to add sweetness but not flavor.

 

If you are adding them to coffee, Bailey's is great as is the caramel, mint, peppermint, hazlenut is another favorite.... just think about your favorite coffee drinks and what flavors you like.

If I were just stocking up, I'd take a look first at how you plan to use them. Are you doctoring up protein shakes? drinking for fun? I'm assuming protein drinks mostly ... ?

I'd start with vanilla. It adds sweetness if you need it but it isn't hugely flavored.

Fruit syrups will curdle milk if you drink it like an italian soda (club soda, syrup and cream) but it's not chunky. It just looks gross, just stir well and it will be fine.

 

Initially I will use them to add to protein shakes then eventually to club soda but that's a ways off.   I use vanilla protein powder as a base though so no need to add vanilla.
