Torani Sugar Free Syrup - Am I mixing it wrong?



Recommended Posts

I bought one large bottle of the salted caramel (SF) right after surgery over two years ago, and I'm just now finishing it up. I add it greek yogurt with a little Peanut Butter, and it's pretty good. I also add it to starbucks caramel coffee to make an iced coffee. I use it very sparingly because I find it to be pretty sweet. I think I didn't like it so much at first either, which is why I still have the same bottle two years later! I didn't like sweet things much at first, either, but my tastes continue to change over time.

I use the SF vanilla and SF caramel in my coffee and love them. Haven't tried any of the fruit flavors, but plan to buy 1 or 2 to change up my Protein shake options a bit. I buy the Torani at World Market who carries a large selection.

I like using flavorings like banana and strawberry in my vanilla Protein shakes and would love to find pineapple flavoring, but haven't been successful yet.

I hate them too. Tried the sugar free vanilla, which was terrible, and the sugar free salted caramel, which was merely bad.

I usually like artificial sweeteners just fine so I don't think it's that for me.

On a side note, I also hated the PB2 that everyone seems to love. :P

SOunds like using a bit too much - I like a few of them myself, but only in very small amounts. Try also the small bottles called SweetDrops! They're naturally flavored and come with an eyedropper dispenser lid. My daughter and I love them, and she refuses to use artificial tasting stuff. I find them in health food stores, whole foods and the like.

You might want to try the different flavors of extracts if you don't like the Torani flavors. I started using extracts preop to pal or my Protein shakes and they work great to add flavor without adding the artificial sweeteners. The only thing with extracts is the flavors are extremely concentrated and a little goes a long way. Mix it in a little at a time to get the flavor you like. I typically use 1/4 tsp for a 12-16 oz Protein shake.

I was able to find many different flavors of extracts in the baking aisle of the grocery store. Check different stores for a wide variety of flavors.

I've tried a few, but only loved the Belgium Cookie.

Hi there @Okiebon,

We want to begin by asking how you're doing - per your initial post sounds like you were in the beginning stages of having your surgery around March 20th! We're hoping you're all up & running and enjoying your new life!

Second, we'd like to apologize for not having seen this post sooner! We make our sugar-free syrups with Splenda (sucralose). While some folks may have difficulty w/ the flavor of some artificial sweeteners, we have never heard of anyone describing our Torani sugar-free syrups as making their drinks become bitter :-/

We're wondering if you have thrown out all of the bottles? We ask because we're worried that you may have gotten a bad batch. If you still have them, we ask that you send over any batch numbers you can find on the bottles.

If you have already gotten rid of the syrups, we'd love to offer you a second try of our sugar-free syrups on us - if you're interested in trying again. We can also direct you to some great recipes we've come up with for these flavors, through our website.

Please let us know.

Your Friends at Torani.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
