Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Carb Countdown MILK
Anyone using this stuff for coffee (or recipes)???? Just wondering what the damage is with it and whether or not it tastes okay? I need to cut calories and so I'd like to switch to something lighter for coffee. Comments?? Thanks! I do use it for recipes, but don't drink it straight...although, the Chocolate Milk Carb Countdown...is YUMMY! When I just have to have that something sweet, a small glass of this goes a long way! Kira in SC 225/199/140 LC since 8-6-03 I prefer the plain to the chocolate. I use 1/2 c with one scoop of the Breyes low carm ice cream and some davinci vanilla syrup and mix in blender.....tases exactly like a icecream shop shake to me and very filling. > I do use it for recipes, but don't drink it straight...although, the Chocolate > Milk Carb Countdown...is YUMMY!

No I just use cream. I like to keep things simple and classic. I don't use much of this, but I did buy some and it tastes just like regular milk.

It is so rich we add about 25% water to it, tastes great. The sad thing is that we don't have it often, so end up throwing some away due to it passing expiration date.

The Carb Countdown milk is one of the very few new low carb products which I believe completely lives up to its promise. I use it for soups, cocoa, and sauces. It is low cal, low sat fat, high in protein and does not raise blood sugar. For someone like me who is at goal, or for someone working on that last 10 pounds, cream can contribute far too many calories. This stuff makes a great substitute. The only warning is don't let it boil! The extra protein will clot. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2. Cut the carbs to respond to my email address!

According to Hood's web page: Q: Can I cook with Carb Countdown? Are there any special considerations or substitutions? A; Yes, you can use Carb Countdown in place of milk in most recipes. In fact, weve used Carb Countdown to make sauces, puddings and cakes -- all with delicious results!

When the low-carb fad dies down and the temporary dieters jump on to the next "lose-a-pound-a-minute" craze, and all of the new low-carb items start to disapper from the shelves, this is the one product I hope stays in the stores. I love that it has both fewer carbs and fewer calories than cream. Both factors are very important to me, in maintenance. I use it for chowder, cocoa, pudding, and cereal. (I love being able to have cereal again!) Em I use it on hot cereal, Keto Oatmeal or Flax o Meal. Tastes a lot like regular milk.

Ate Cheerios a lot as a kid (haven't in decades). ANd would always drink the milk left in the bowl after the cheerios were finished. That's what it tastes like--Cheerios milk.

I'm on my first 1/2 gal carton (2 weeks now) of chocolate milk and use it in my coffee along with half&half and also drink about 1/2 cup per day. I also mix a 1/4 cup of it with a 1/2 cup of breyers low carb vanilla ice cream. Often I also add a tablespoon of Breyers Ice cream to my coffee. Delicious starbucks like treat. Pj >>Anyone using this stuff for coffee (or recipes)???? >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Pj lol we think alike...delicious Well it ain't milk, its a "dairy beverage"...and if you look, its #1 ingredient is Water. BUT..having said that, its good stuff... We buy the chocolate for a quick sweet fix (its really good, I mean, really good...my wife hates regular chocolate milk but enjoys this stuff)....want somethings sweet? Take a dixie-cup full of this stuff...its low calorie and ultra low carb. The Chocolate "milk" has the consistency of melted chocolate ice-cream...ie: its really thick. The regular milk is also pretty thick, thicker than whole-milk......I've used it with Atkins Cereal (aka: SawDust Flakes), and my wife uses it for making Jell-O sugar-free pudding without taking the carb hit you'd get by using milk. > Anyone using this stuff for coffee (or recipes)???? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks!

Yet another "[Carby item which is not being discussed] is not lowcarb." These non-sequitors are not at all helpful to anyone, but you knew that. Rarely is anyone inquiring about the carby items you continually spew this message about. Carb Countdown is lowcarb, tastes like milk, and except for a wee bit of preservatives and vegetable gums which are just about as often found in half-and-half or heavy cream, doesn't contain anything bizarre. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." They are very helpful. When you get to the core of low carb, you might actually lose your addictions and crutches. But as an addict, you will refuse to acknowledge reality.

I've been lowcarbing more than seven years, sweetie, five years of which maintaining my target weight. Oh, and I never had to "aim" for some unrealistic weight 50 pounds less than goal in order to reach it, like your absurd suggestion to someone else.

Pay attention...they're not discussing "milk" here. It's a "dairy beverage" - and compared to milk it most certainly is low-carb. Don't call it milk, if you don't want it compared to milk. And.... When compared to real food, sh.t is most certainly low carb. Go eat some.

Other recipe is to make Jello instant (SF) pudding and when scrambling some eggs. Our store only has PLAIN, no other flavors. Before Hoods, I was using Silk Soy Unsweetened for cereal, but not good in coffee (breaks down) OR pudding. :-) I wish Hood's was available in 8-oz cartons (aseptic packs) so I could take some with me to Starbucks, et al.

I use it for coffee and my flax cereal.. I think it tastes fine. My son had some (glass of milk) and he said it tasted fine, just thick, almost like a shake.. I have served it here for dinners with coffee and noone even commented on it.. They never noticed.. As always YMMV and this is JMO Jeanne Type 2 Diagnosed 05/28/02 194/164/120 > Anyone using this stuff for coffee (or recipes)???? I like the plain, full-fat (red carton) in my coffee.

Hmm. Mine is the Blue carton, 2% plain. That makes 4 variations I've heard of now. I will ask my store to get it.

I've seen full-fat, 2%, fat-free, and chocolate. Possibly also 1%, but I'm not sure about that one. I didn't notice the fat content on the chocolate, but I wouldn't bother to buy the chocolate. I've got DaVinci and Sorbee SF chocolate syrups, as well as Splenda and cocoa. They were out of full-fat the other day, so I picked up the 2%, it was also quite good, although I prefer the somewhat richer version in my coffee. >> > Anyone using this stuff for coffee (or recipes)???? >> >> I like the plain, full-fat (red carton) in my coffee.

Thanks for the link. I thought I had heard about a VANILLA flavor, but that appears to be false. Steve |
