You can always make your own. This recipe is from Louise: 1 egg 1/3 cup Splenda 1 teaspoon vanilla (I use Spice Islands) 1 1/2 cups whipping cream Mix egg and Splenda together really well until thick and creamy. Stir in vanilla and whipping cream. Put in ice cream maker and have at it. You could also cut the cream by 1/2 cup and replace with 1/2 cup strawberries if you want. Total recipe makes about 1 pint with 180 calories, and about 3 grams of carbohydrates. There are more recipes at http://www.camacdonald.com/lc/Cookbook/Sweets.html Cheri >Always Learning wrote in message ... > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >Cheri Wow that sounds kinda complicated but then again I am a terrible cook. thanks, i'll copy this to notepad > Where would I buy low-carb ice cream though? > > at a store or are their online recipes for this? > > im being serious btw Google is your friend. Susan > I was wondering if you can buy low-carb or no-carb ice cream that > taste exactley the way regular ice cream taste? Exactly? I don't know of any low carb sustitutes that are exact replacements for the high carb items they immitate. There are no sugar added ones that taste pretty close, sweetened with splenda ones that are not bad. Blue Bunny seems to have the favored lower carb line. But none of the commercial ones I've seen are really all that low. Look at the brands your store does offer and go for Blue Bunny if they carry it IMO. As usual with so many health related food issues, making your own tends to be the best route. You get full control so you know exactly what you're getting. I've never been willing to put in the extra effort for low carb ice cream so the best I can do on that front is suggest you search for recipes already posted. Breyer's CarbSmart ice cream and ice cream bars. | I was wondering if you can buy low-carb or no-carb ice cream that | taste exactley the way regular ice cream taste? | | I thought I would consult this NG since its the best one on low-carb. | | thanks >Breyer's CarbSmart ice cream and ice cream bars. i shall look for it next time at the grocery, thanks > >Breyer's CarbSmart ice cream and ice cream bars. > > i shall look for it next time at the grocery, thanks In a previous post, you just stated that you think LC is hard. Consider this. Maybe the reason you think LC is hard is because you're doing it all wrong. If you weigh 400lbs, why are you looking for LC ice cream to buy? All of them have sugar alcohols and aren't appropriate for someone starting out on LC. They can be fine in moderation in the later stages of LC. But you should be learning a new way of eating which is to focus on meat, fish, eggs, LC vegetables, salad, etc. I'd suggest getting Atkins book, reading it, and follow it. > I was wondering if you can buy low-carb or no-carb ice cream that > taste exactley the way regular ice cream taste? > > I thought I would consult this NG since its the best one on low-carb. > > thanks I recently bought the Edy's "No Sugar Added" (blue and white round container) coffee ice cream and it tastes exactly like real ice cream. Each serving is only 90 calories and only 4 grams of sugar (with 5 grams of sugar alcohols). Not sure if Edy's is a national brand or just a New England thing, but if you can find it, you should give it a try. >> I was wondering if you can buy low-carb or no-carb ice cream that >> taste exactley the way regular ice cream taste? >> I thought I would consult this NG since its the best one on low-carb. >I recently bought the Edy's "No Sugar Added" (blue and white round >container) coffee ice cream and it tastes exactly like real ice >cream.

Same product, same company, just different marketing. I don't know where the dividing line is. And yes, it's a pretty good product. > I was wondering if you can buy low-carb or no-carb ice cream that > taste exactley the way regular ice cream taste? > > I thought I would consult this NG since its the best one on low-carb. > > thanks it is a GREAT question and has been asked many times over the years that i have been here. as suggested by cheri, making your own is the way to go! rosie > I was wondering if you can buy low-carb or no-carb ice cream that > taste exactley the way regular ice cream taste? > > I thought I would consult this NG since its the best one on low-carb. > > thanks Breyers makes a fairly decent Carb Control ice cream. It will not taste like Haagen Daz, but for low sugar / low carb it is pretty good. The main thing to be careful of is portion control. Low Carb obviously does not mean Carb Free, and the great taste of this ice cream tempts you to get a little more .... and a little more .... and a little more .... Have some fruit or nuts to go with it, along with plenty of water to help aleviate cravings. |
