Pros:

Convenient, nice addition to low carb pantry
|
|
Cons:
|
price and some flavors are weak
|

We have a cabinet full of the different flavors. All work well in coffee for a desert treat but many of the flavors lend themselves well to other uses. The caramel and butter toffee works as a waffle syrup if you boil it down a bit. The consistancy is very watery and thin. I made a great Raspberry vinegrette with the Raspberry flavor.I use the vanilla and french vanilla as a substitute for regular vanilla and sweetner in recipes. The chocolate flavor was our only disapointment, it had almost no flavor.

I have 25 different flavors and every morning I mix flavors together in my coffee to make treats. (Coconut/Chocolate for Mounds, Cookie Dough/Peanut Butter for Peanut Butter Cookie...things like that) These satisfy my sweet tooth and keep me away from SF candy!

I have a bunch of different flavors: hazelnut, vanilla, peach, toffee, etc. They are great for mixing in with cream, coffee, berries, and for making sodas.
I tend to use vanilla the most. It's a crisis when I run out!!

Vanilla is by far my favorite as it is so versatile, I use it for cheesecakes, as a sub for vanilla and Splenda. Great in italian sodas, shaved ice, yogurt.

I use both Da Vinci and Torani. I find that Torani are just a bit better for cooking. We have tons of flavors. Almond is my favorite. My son loved the (now obsolete) Key Lime. We use them to flavor sparkling water for sodas (Cherry + Cola = 0 calorie, 0 caffeine cherry coke), coffee, tea, and milk. Also great to flavor cheesecakes.

Vanilla is wonderful and so is hazelnut. I've tried lots of flavors and like them all, but those two are my favorite. I was afraid I'd have Starbucks withdrawal when I decided to do this WOE, but with DaVinci I haven't had to give up my flavored coffee.

Hurray! I'm so glad I don't have to give up my vanilla coffee in the morning! A little half n half, a little vanilla syrup and it tastes almost exactly like the sugary vanilla coffee I used to drink. So far I've only used the vanilla, but I look forward to trying many other flavors.

I really like this product. I mainly use them to flavor my coffee and tea and sometimes to flavor whipped cream. I buy mine at my local Kroger store (in the coffee section), but the only sugar free flavors they have are hazelnut and vanilla. I'd love to try other flavors, but I refuse to pay any more than I already do to buy from the internet. All in all, Davinci syrups are a keeper. Try them, you won't be disappointed!

I got Vanilla and English Toffee. They're both wonderful! I use both flavors in my coffee, and I use the vanilla for baking and for making homemade whipped cream (tastes exactly like Cool-Whip!). I make yummy fudgecicles with Chocolate Carb Countdown and the English Toffee syrup. The uses for these syrups are endless!

Overall, this is a good LC product, although I was disappointed in the "pancake" syrup. The LC pancakes I made weren't the greatest to start with, and then I found the pancake syrup to be very thin with a nasty aftertaste.
Having said that, HOWEVER, I LOVE the syrups for other uses - coffee flavoring, for one. My FAVORITE use of the syrup is to pour the raspberry flavor over vanilla LC ice-cream and add a couple fresh strawberries, sliced really thin. EXCELLENT.

I read the reviews and most talk about using them in coffees and drinks and I am certain they are good that way. However, they can add so much more to the meals as well. Chicken and Pork are particularly good with fruit flavorings! I use Raspberry, Peach, and Amaretto to flavor these foods. They are a little thin but oh so good and can be thickened with arrowroot or another thickner! Add one or two peach slices from a can in natural juices, and you have a great sauce for pork!

Alright I bought tons of flavors, Originally I am only addicted to Sugar free Vanilla in my coffees. I bought Cherry which is excellent, it's great in 7-Up or Diet Rite. It makes good Cherry homemade icecream. The strawberry is good to pour over lowcarb egg crepes and make icecream. MY NEW Favorite is the Cookie Dough, YuM, it's excellent in coffee. I just make coffee with ice, and cream and flavor.
Pineapple was surpisingly Delicious! I thought I'd be disappointed. It's great as an Italian soda. My plans for this are to make pineapple/sweet/sour meatballs, (lowcarb no sugar) in place of my usual brown sugar, starch, pineapple juice meatballs sauce.
White chocolate is good. I give it a 7 or 8 on a scale from one to ten. English Toffee a 7 or 8 also. Regular chocolate flavor is about a 5-6 on scale of 10, it's not like chocolate syrup (hershey's) but it works. It's really good added with other flavors like english toffee, and hazlenut to make candy bar lattes.
Macadamia Nut is really good, very nutty. It's about an 8 or 9. Orange is good, about a 7, I made orange ginger chicken and vinegar with this! I also have raspberry (probably good with chocolate), Caramel (which is excellent when mixed in a blender with ice and lowcarb chocolate milk (atkins),,mmm! to die for milkshake.
I can't stand creme de menthe ( I Used to be a barista and tried this years ago, mint coffee is blech.) Irish cream is about a 4 or 5 on the taste scale for me only by preference that's why not b/c of Davinci's quality. Kalua is a 9 it's excellent w/chocolate in coffee/lattes. Peanut butter is good, I have lots of plans for this, pb whipping cream, pb cream cheese whip (for dessert) I don't really like it in coffee too much tho. But I give it a 10, but not to flavor coffees. Peanut butter icecream is great.
The strawberry is good for strawberry creamcheese icecream (I have the recipe I made up, easy!)
I plan on trying/buying Grape for italian sodas and to make grape chicken. I plan on buying eggnog, it sounds good. Toasted marshmallow I tried a long time ago is excellent. Gingerbread I want to try for lattes, Butter rum is a 10, it's EXCELLENT in coffee! My husband LOVES the coconut. I suggest coconut/choc. in coffee. Almond is good, in coffee too with chocolate.
Has anyone tried banana? Is it good? I'm Wary about buying it. I thought about using it in smoothies. B/c we miss bananas b/c of lowcarbing. Any other ideas of how to use it?
Blueberry sounds good I would like to try it, amaretto is good, tried it a long time ago. French vanilla is good, but very sweet. And watermelon I'd like to try for Italian sodas. IT's worth the investment to me , in order to be successful with my wt. loss b/c I like to induldge!
Does anyone know what dulce, de lech flavor means? OH yes, and B-52 I have tried in the past is about a 6 or 7 on the flavor scale. IT's pretty good.

So far the only flavor that we have tried and not enjoyed ws the pancake syrup--it is terrible on pancakes and has a faint curry flavor...very odd. BUT I was craving maple-glazed pork loin a few months back and discovered that it is FANTASTIC on pork. I dump about a half cup of the syrup on the pork and then liberally sprinkle it with curry powder, minced garlic, ginger powder, and fresh ground pepper. Throw the whole concoction in a crock pot or electric roaster and cook it for a few hours on low heat--YUM! My DH refers to it as "candy." And my DS, who is not a big meat eater, cannot inhale it fast enough.
The other flavors we have tried are Kahlua, coconut, vanilla, raspberry, strawberry, English toffee, and Chai tea--love them all!

Some flavors are alright, at times, although they seem to vary from bottle to bottle quite a bit. Kahlua can be good, as can Coconut and Banana, but the one time I tried the "Pancake" syrup, I was sorely disappointed.

From shaved ice with fruit flavors, to coffee and sodas, as well as flavoring whipped cream for topping...nothing beats DaVinci syrups. Chocolate, german chocolate cake, cherry, vanilla, my kids love the white chocolate and creme de menthe. We have the full spectrum and love them all. You use so little, with no carb cost, to get amazing tastes.
