Been reading through all the recipe posts here and saw one for Hawaiian Shaved Ice with sugar free syrup.
0 carbs
0 sugar
0 calories
??
could this be the perfect treat? (and can I have it on induction? please say yes)

Yes, yes, and yes! Ice has 0 carbs :lol: and the sugarfree syrups (Davinci, sweetened with Splenda, is my favorite) have 0 carbs, so these are good at any stage of weight loss, even Induction.

Enjoy!

Thank you Thank you Thank you
I've been pacing waiting for an answer lol (I probably should have posted under sweets)
I am going to buy the machine! Just hope I can wait for the ice blocks to freeze.

Divinci, made with LIQUID Splenda..Best invention yet, hehehe. I personally do NOT count a carb for such an item.

where does the 0.1 come from?

I dont think the davinci syrups would work as well as the snow cone stuff. The davinci is too runny isnt it?

The thinness doesn't seem to matter. I use Davinci for this a lot. I shave the ice in my cheap Rival Snowcone maker, then pour over coconut syrup, pineapple syrup, and little bit of cream or half and half. Delish! Almost like a virgin pina colada.

I did a forum search, but I could not seem to find an answer... where do the 0.1 carbs come from in the Da Vinci syrup? I thought it was just water, liquid splenda, and flavor extract. Is this from the natural/artificial flavorings?

If you have an icepick or hammer and a lot of patience. Just htink of all those claories burned to just get the darn thing :) Try taking cubed ice and putting it in a plastic ziplock, then wrapping it in a towl. Then beat the holey heck out of it with a hammer.
