Carbquik Mix

1/2 cup carbquik (55g) 34 cents
1/4 cup wheat protein isolate 5000 (13g) 10 cents
1 Tbs wheat protein isolate 8000 (8g) 8 cents
1/8 cup almond flour (12g) 27 cents
1 Tbs resistant wheat starch 75 (7g) 6 cents
1 tsp not/Sugar 17 cents

cost per cup = $1.02 buying carbquik in 5 lb bag

cost per cup = $1.24 buying carbquik in 1 lb box


Carbalose Mix

1/2 cup carbquik (55g) 31 cents
1/4 cup wheat protein isolate 5000 (13g) 10 cents
1 Tbs wheat protein isolate 8000 (8g) 8 cents
1/8 cup almond flour (12g) 27 cents
1 Tbs resistant wheat starch 75 (7g) 6 cents
1 tsp not/Sugar 17 cents

cost per cup = $0.99 buying carbalose in 3 lb bag

Thanks for that breakdown Kevin. To be able to make such great recipes that are low carb and not filled with a bunch of ingredients that I don't know and/or can't pronounce is well worth the cost IMO!

[crazywoman-n-wy]

for the breakdown Kevin. I had never did the math either... Thank you for doing the math for us!!!!

Wow, thanks, Kevin for your cost analysis. I'd done a rough one myself, and finally decided that as most have posted, the cost is worth it. (food anywhere isn't exactly cheap/and LC definitely isn't)

Like the L'oreal haircolor commercial, from a while ago, I'm worth it!

And my health definitely is!


I cannot thank you enough for the work and time you've invested.

Just another fan posting to thank you for, not just this mix, but all of your recipes. This mix is fantastic. I simply sub it for flour in my HC recipes. So far that has been cookies and the results are just like I remember the HC version. I'm using the carbalose version as am out of carbquick.

Still working getting a sweetener mix that I can sub cup for cup for sugar. Unfortunately, I am unable to use isomalt, so can't use yours.

Thanks again,

Sheryl

I am posting this to have one link for both mixes.

1/8 cup almond flour (12g)
1 Tbs resistant wheat starch 75 (7g)
1 tsp not/Sugar (I don't weigh this)

1 cup LC cake or cookie flour mix (carbalose version) (12 carbs per cup)
1/2 cup carbalose (55g)
1/4 cup wheat protein isolate 5000 (13g)
1 Tbs wheat protein isolate 8000 (8g)
1/8 cup almond flour (13g)
1 Tbs resistant wheat starch 75 (7g)

2 cups WPI 5000

It is important that if you completely mix all the flours well in the 8 cup recipe so you get a complete mix when using.

I don't know what carbquik is or resistant wheat starch. Can you explain what it is and where to get it? Also, do you make almond flour yourself or purchase it? Thanks so much! I'm just learning and am fairly clueless!
Blessings.

Netrition sells all the ingredients for this mix. All you have to do is click on the links and it will take you right to the page where they sell it.

And I don't personally make my own almond flour, although some people do.

lovetoread,
If you click on the word carbquick or any of the ingredients that are in blue, it will take you to the Netrition website where it will explain what that ingredient is, and you can buy it from them. (Both the Carbquick & the resistant wheat starch)
..........
Looks like Kevin answered while I was typing this up.

Thanks to both of you, Kevin and Billie, who responded to my questions. I'm looking to avoid soy. Do you happen to know if any of these products you spoke of contain soy. I'm needing to find recipes that I can make a low-carb bread that do not contain soy.
Thanks so much! Blessings.

Love, there is no soy in my mixes. It is all wheat products except for the almond flour and the not/Sugar which is a combination of gums.

BTW, if its bread you are looking for, the following recipe makes some killer buns that are only 3 carbs each using the carbalose mix.

It sure does! Buy the supplies, if for that reason alone!
