Netrition order today

[b_lou_who]

I have my oat fiber, some more pb2, hemp seeds

is there anything you order you cannot live without?

[Mariacj]

Gluc powder. For my pudding.

[Yam-Yam]

I just got my first order from Netrition. I think I'm going to love placing regular orders!

Got my ideas from reading people's posts. So I now have gluc powder, 2 kinds of Davinci syrup, oat groats, coconut sugar...shirataki noodles...

Have not tried any of them yet!! But I'm excited to have 'em.

Things I've decided I cannot live without are Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Nutiva brand, cold pressed, yum!!!) and Oat bran for sure.

[ellgee]

Loving the great ideas on this list!!!

Got to get me some of that Oat bran.

[b_lou_who]

Still have most of a pound of glucomannan flour, okay there.
I don't do artificial anything so no artificially sweetened stuff on my list.

Oat bran v. Oat fiber.. isn't oat fiber the non caloric one for down days?

I've only had the angel hair shirataki (I like the black ones) and the "rice" (gag)
What are the opinions on the fettucini?
Wouldn't think the cut would make that much difference but I hate the texture of those globs of rice.

[ellgee]

I didn't jump for joy when I tried the rice either. Didn't stop me from eating it though! I have fettucini but haven't tried it yet. Just the angel hair.

Just looked up the oat fiber - that doesn't have any calories. What do you use it for?

[b_lou_who]

the oat fiber is for one-minute-muffins (see the DD recipe sticky) and for adding to foods for bulk and fiber.
It is cheaper on netrition so I thought I'd better do a full order for the flat shipping rate.
I'm feeding the "rice" to hubby. He hasn't complained yet.

Never mind, I see you have my suggestion already! This is what I get for not reading the WHOLE thread!!

[b_lou_who]

btw, had the best hot cereal this morning. warmed up my chia almond milk, some hemp seeds, and some raw buckwheat granola. nom

I HATE buckwheat, but it is the best source of a b vitamin that helps with pcos, so I eat the dratted stuff. the hot cereal made it tolerable, except for two clumps. so bitter.

what do you use the coco sugar in?

I'm trying to place an order right now and lol and wondering about Gluc powder and what i'd do with it, I understand that it keeps you fuller longer?

I have the fettucini and I like it. Maybe it is my imagination but it works well in spaghetti sauce and does seems a little different since it is a different shape. now I like the noodles too and I put the rice in soup. I also do as you do and rinse VERY WELL and cook it in a dry pan prior to using it. I bought a case from somehwere else and the "special" was 8 packs of each shape.

Coconut palm sugar has a fab caramel flavor for anything you want that in. I use it in place of brown sugar in baking. Hubby has a shaker of it that he uses on hot cereal. Pretty on baked custards.

[heatherwagnon]

Thanks! K another question...I ordered guar gum way back when and wonder if xantham gum (which is what people use alot) and guar are interchangable?

[b_lou_who]

I gave up on the gums and use glu in place of them successfully

Just popping to see what you were ordering and saw this.. wanted to agree.

I thicken with glucomannan for DD foods that need thickening and like it a whole LOT better than the gums, which add a weird taste to foods, in my opinion.

I read some posts about how coconut sugar is wonderful in baking. Then when I was doing research on the nutritional value, I read that it is great for weight loss because it does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels and that will be good for DH.

So, I ordered some and have not used it yet because I just received my stash yesterday. However, I have a killer oatmeal cookie recipe and it calls for brown sugar. I'm wondering if I use coconut oil in place of butter and the coconut sugar in place of brown sugar if it will turn out yummy.

Gonna play around with that probably tomorrow on my UD. I'll let everyone know if it turns out great. If it's yucky I just won't mention it.

[b_lou_who]

yam yam, even a bad cookie made with those ingredients will be good. I would love the dough. bad cookie? hah!

the WF marshmallow is not good in my opinion. i do like their caramel syrup but the marshmallow is a little too weird. i do also like their hot and spicy BBQ and the alfredo sauce and the Green valley cal free red thai curry sauce.

i used the angle hair shape a few times. and they were OK. but once i branched out into other shapes i had an experience that put me off them for good. rigatoni or something. that should have been little tubes; hollow in the middle. but they were solid with a curved cut down the middle. and when i touched them with a fork those little curved cuts opened and closed like little mouths and anus and i couldnt bear to eat them even with good seasoning. looked like a bowl of baby slugs. i just couldnt stand the thought. not them and not any of the others i had on hand. too funny!
