..found DaVINCI syrups...which flavours should I get...how many net carbs per?

Hi there

I'm excited to have found DaVinci syrups on a site the ships within Canada! Sooooo....there are so many flavours, I thought I'd get an idea of your favourites so I know which to order since I can only get three or four for now (5 max ).

I was thinking, French Vanilla, Vanilla, White Chocolate, Chocolate, German Chocolate Cake, and Pancake sounded yummy!

PLEEEEEEEASE HELP me choose TIA!!

And, I saw the Davinci plain sweet syrup too. Are there net carbs for all of these and if so, what is a typical serving size and net carb count? Is the sweet syrup zero carbs and better than Splenda?

THANK YA BUNCHES....I am excited to try some of these!!!

From what I understand a whole bottle of Davinicis is 8 or 9 carbs. So, you using a pump or two would mean zero carbs. I started using the simply sweetener, and it tastes just like splenda to me. The thing with Splenda is that one packet is 1 carb. Sucralose is so sweet, that they need something to "cut" it. So they add a few other ingredients to each packet, which up the carb count. I had NO idea and was wasting 12 carbs per DAY on Splenda for my coffee. The Davinci syrup uses mainly water to cut the sucralose, and it tastes the same. I love it and have noticed that I am losing more since using it.

Wow, THANKS! ...I was hoping it was zero carbs per serving! I'll definitely be getting the sweet syrup for my coffee instead of Splenda packets then!

Do you find the pump necessary or could I do without it? The store wants $5 for each extra pump which, if I get five flavours, means an extra big expense....

I love carmel, I have vanilla, but I think I may try french vanilla.

I just use a tablespoon to pour mine.
