Question:
Iced White Mocha
Ok, so this is NOT the best thing to be indulging in, but to tell the truth, I am and have.... so there is no need to shake a finger at me, just skip my post. What I am trying to do is to figure out a way to make it WLS-acceptable. Perhaps one of you has been expirimenting with your own coffee drinks and have come up with one that is not so high in sugar or carbs. Please share it with us, or if one of you know the nutritional value of it "as is" from a coffee vendor (like Starbucks) please share (amounts, carbs, sugars etc.).... I am sure they are using white chocolate syrup or powder. I have searched around the web and cannot find anything! — Karen R. (posted on January 28, 2002)

I bought a thunder stick hand blender shortly before my surgery. You can
make the best coffee drinks with it. I just add a few instant coffee grains
and whip it with water and splenda. Then if you whip skim milk with the
thunder stick it turns into this delicious cool whip like topping that I
dump on top. I use Gevalia french vanilla coffee for that delicious
flavouring! There are also some sugar free coffee flavour syrups that you
can buy. I hope this might help... Good Luck and stay on track! :)

Go to www.davincigourmet.com They have a White Chocolate Sugar Free syrup.
I make iced coffee protein drinks for myself ALL the time. Use cold
coffee, a scoop of protein powder, a splash of sugar free syrup, blend up,
then throw in ice, blend some more... YUMMY!

I make decaf coffee. let it cool down, and mix in sugar free chocolate
syrup, or French vanilla creamer along with my Isopure vanilla protein
powder. makes a nice healthy thick coffee shake. very delicious!

I just tried search for sugar free white chocolate syrup and I found this
site: http://www.gourmet-coffee.net/ and their syrup ( which is daVinci!)
made with Splenda. When I was searching another daVinci site, they made no
reference to sugar free- so I kind of dropped them from my mind. If I can
make it as good as the coffee people can- I will definitly do so.... and
Scott- I NEED the caffiene :)- I will let you know what the syrup tastes
like.

Just wanted to add a note about caffeine. If you feel like you have to
have it, just make sure you are getting extra water. The caffeine is a
diuretic, so you need to make up for that.

Yeah, I do drink extra because of it. Just a note, DaVinci is cheaper than
the other place... so I ordered from them.

I'm so glad I saw your question. I'm 1 week out and was thinking I'd never
have my cappacino again. Thanks

If you must have a mocha, order a non-fat, sugar free vanilla decaf. At
Starbucks, a double will run you around $3.00--I live in the Pacific NW
where we have the big green giant on EVERY street corner, and if it isn't
there, someone else is! you might also want to try the above without the
shot, try a sugar-free syrup in a coffee flavor instead! The regular
mochas have massive amounts of sugar, fat and caffeine.

Here in Southern California there is a Coffee Bean on every corner. I buy
their pre made low fat, no suagr added Ice Blended powder. They have it in
French Vanilla and Chocolate. YUMMY. You just add a scoop of the powder,
cofee extract (they sell that too), skim milk and ice you've got a
delicious coffee shake. It's their best selling drink. You can get it at
http://coffeebean.com. They even sell it as a kit on their site with no
suagr added. This way, you can decide how much coffee you want to add with
the extract if you are sensitive as well.

adding my coffee drink since everyone else is.. mocha cappuccino protein
powder, strong coffee (I pour about 1/2 to 1/4 cup of coffee over coffee
beans and let it sit for awhile, then strain) splenda.. and some farm rich
fat free creamer, all proportions to your taste.. sometimes I add a sugar
free syrup in there.. or not.. it IS good...

I usually order lattes with skim milk, or make them myself and use white
chocolate syrup. I order syrups from www.vitalady.com... good deals.
