Carbquik Question

[ollamo]

Hey Everyone!!!
I finally found a website with decent prices to order carbquik. It should be here tom. I don't plan on using it until i get further along in my weightloss. But anyway.....I was wondering if it causes problems for some people. Thanks

Netrition does sell Carbquik at a reasonable price! And don't forget the shipping for any size order is only 4.95. Great place to get your LC ingredients!

wow I hadnt realized that netrition has 4.95 shipping for the entire order!!!! There is some things I have been wanting to get. I have ordered from them before but it was a very long time ago.
Also I have used the carb quick in the past with no problems what so ever. Im going to order some more

It tastes awful-has a nasty twangy taste to it. My family won't eat anything made with it.

If you add a little vanilla it really masks the taste. I don't personally find it objectionable, so it's probably a ymmv kind of thing. Also, any strong flavors will mask it (garlic, etc.)

[lisabinil]

Have tried it that way in recipes and several more-still has that obnoxious taste.

I used to use it a couple of years ago. We liked it. It does take a little getting used to but it worked well in recipes. I think we'll be ordering it again. I don't remember it causing a stall. hth's

If you sift out the shortening the flavor is much better. I am a terrible baker so I don't use it for anything other than pancakes. I haven't had any problems.

My kids sometimes turn their noses up at things I make, but they love chicken strips fried with carb quick. Fish is good too. I use it quite often and it doesn't bother me.

i have been making single serve choco-chip bars/cookies with the following:

2T CQ
2T flax meal
2T flavored davinci's of choice (caramel is my FAV)
dollop of butter (softened)
1T sugar free choc chips

mix all together form into cookie shape, nuke for 45-60 sec depending on the strength of your microwave.

very yummy and calms a cookie craving quite nicely!

I would love to make fried zucchini with this.

anyone else a diabetic on insulin who has used carbquik? I am finding it hard to believe its only "2 net carbs". Because of my insulin I sort of need to know how many carbs it really is. Lists all kinds of wheat so it makes me wary. Am debating just counting the entire ten carbs instead of two. I think I will do an experiment tomorrow. Make some biscuits eat some one see how much my blood sugar raises. Wish me luck

dessert, let us know about the blood sugar thing. i'm interested

KevinPa is diabetic and uses carbquik in his recipes so the net carbs are pretty accurate. I know he checks stuff out pretty thoroughly because of his diabetes and posts his particular response to products.
