Need ideas on sugar free syrups
I have over 40 flavors! I admit, I do mainly use them for coffee, protein hot chocolate, oatmeal, protein shakes / smoothies, but the syrups are also my main 'flavor' ingredient in protein ice cream as well. If you haven't made any yet, it is so wonderful. Basically a protein shake made into ice cream via a machine. I make up batches at a time and always have several flavors on hand. If you need any ideas, go to this blog and search for recipes:

ETA: Also a great addition to the greek yogurt (which is great in the protein department, but needs a lot of help in the sweetening / flavor department).

Right now I have about drained a new bottle of Pumpkin Spice (DiVinci has s/f). I love pumpkin anything, and have been using it with vanilla protein powder, 1/2 & 1/2 (I had the DS, we love fat), pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spices -- to make a shake and to make ice cream. Also use the pumpkin spice syrup in my morning lattes.
Also, love the s/f coffee syrup with some cold espresso to make coffee protein ice cream -- yummmm! For ice cream, I have used lemon, blueberry, lemon & blueberry, cherry, cherry & vanilla, cream de menth for mint chip ice cream, strawberry & mango together with some fruit chunks, peanut butter with chocolate protein powder (and added real peanut butter, too), lime with unflavored protein powder & lime jello.....I have made so many over the summer. Now that it is getting cold, I may have to slow down, but I love ice cream and this has kept all my cravings at bay.
My morning lattes, I mix it up: peppermint, cinnamon, cream de menth, caramel, hazelnut, almond, english toffee, kahlua flavored, butterscotch...so many options!
Play around with them. The only one I couldn't figure out much to do with was the banana -- but I don't like banana!

This is what I do with the ricotta cheese:
24oz ricotta cheese
1 package s/f cheesecake jello pudding
1/4c s/f syrup of your choice (I use whatever I would have wanted to top
my cheesecake with: cherry, blueberry, kaluha, coffee, etc....)
Blend together & eat. Gives me 3 servings.
Off course, because I am on such a pumpkin kick, I have also used the ricotta, cheesecake pudding, 1/2 can of pumpkin puree, and some pumpkin pie spice -- topped off with whipped cream. YUMMMM!!!!
