When I saw where someone had posted about sugar free syrups on sale I bought some and they arrived today.  I bought peanut butter, caramel, and mango.  Now I am looking for some recipes and not just adding to protein drinks.

Thanks !

You could put the caramel in coffee if you drink coffee. Maybe use the mango, peanut butter or caramel as extracts in desserts. I was thinking about the mango in cottage cheese or ricotta? Hope these ideas help. Otherwise it works great in protein shakes. Christine (internetnut)

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!

I use fruit flavors in my water, others in my protein drink, protien ice cream, ricotta cheese, Mock Danish recipes, cheese cakes and low carb cookies.

Have fun with them! :-)

tell me what you do with them in ricotta cheese - I have some in the fridge now and would like to do something different.

Thanks,

I just add the flavoring and make it like a dessert.  You can freeze it if you like a harder consistency. 

Or you can add an egg with the syrup, bake it like custard and add more syrup.

I went to bed last night thinking about making something - ricotta cheese with an egg and caramel syrup, then bake it... then some caramel syrup on top...
And I am getting ready to make it now... I'll let you know how I like it.

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!!!!
