has anybody found this brand in the grocery stores? i must be the only one who doesn't have a wal-mart anywhere near them!!

It is a new product from carbolite to make frozen dessert. Now I got a huge 2.3 lbs bag yesterday and it says mix the whole bag with 1 gallon of water. Now I do not want to use the bag in one go, so how much should I use is unclear . ( well, might calculate it to my European metric measures.) My other problem is the nutrition label. On carbolite web-site it says one serving is half a cup. But is it now half a cup of the mixed ready product or half a cup of the powder?
Can anyone help?
It has a bit too sweet taste, but it is okey. Although I like pudding better and actually wanted to mix pudding, but it does not thicken so much.

Kati, you ended up buying the commercial size bag.

It should say on there somewhere how much the YIELD is when 2.3 lbs and a gallon of water are mixed together, but a couple of ways to go about it is to:

• 
  - contact the people you bought it from and ask them (do they have a website or phone number?)
  - use a fraction of the water (1 pint which is 1/8th of a gallon, right?) and the same fraction 1/8th of the mix ... wing it.

Also, I would assume a "serving" of 1/2 Cup is the prepared mixed ready product (serving is, per the FDA, a reasonable edible amount).

Good luck.

Hey, atkins announced during his larry king interview tonight that in a few months they would be selling atkins ice cream, whoopee! ANyone have any info on this?>

I'm guessing the best place to find out about this would be to go to the Atkins website, where the news breaks first about any Atkins product.

A while ago I found Safeway brand No Sugar Added Vanilla Ice Cream. That was the only flavour they had. Well yesterday I went to get some...and what did I see?!? Strawberry and Chocolate added to the selection!!!!

YAY!

Just thought you'd like to know!

I used to make my own Carbolite yogurt all the time (before I moved back to the Raleigh area, where they have this awesome store that sells it!)....

I'd mix 1 cup mix to 2 cups water, and add some flavored extract....

Hope this helps!

Supposedly, low-carb ice cream is already available and selling in some Walmart stores under a lo-carb or le-carb brand name. I can't find it at my Walmart, but I'm really jealous of those who can! I wonder if the Atkins brand will be better or worse.

I live in the Raleigh area as well. I'm actually in Chapel Hill and I work in Durham.

I think you'll really enjoy this forum. It's been very helpful to me. I've also gotten some really good recipes here as well.

In your last post you were talking about ice cream. Well, this isn't ice cream but if you like chocolate, it's a great low carb treat. They're peanut butter cups and boy are they good! It's made with one ounce of unsweetened chocolate, splenda, very little heavy cream, peanut butter, butter and walnuts if you wish. Let me know if you'd like to try them. I'll get the recipe to you. They take about 5 minutes to prepare and maybe 1/2 hr. to firm up in the freezer.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and welcome to the forum neighbor!!

Hi freydis,, yes, i couldnt find it at my wal mart either, so i called the LeCarb manufacturer, and they told me it is only sold at a "Wal Mart SUPER CENTER" - and i dont have any of those in NJ so i guess we will just have to wait

Yossi

Yossi.... are you close to the PA border? Allentown has a Supercenter

im 110 miles from allentown,, think its worth the drive???

I would check to see if there isn't one closer to you in PA.... There's not a spot in NJ that would be 110 miles from PA... closer to Philly?

OK, where can i find This at? I have had two whole bags of mini reeses peanut butter cups saring at me since I started LC'n Jan 2, I have stayed away from them SO far....... even tho one SMALL one only has about 4.4 carbs, would i be able to have just one? HA

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee tell me where i can find a low carb recipe?

TIA!

You're going to love these.

1 stick of unsalted butter
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1/3 C Splenda
1 T heavy cream
4 T peanut butter
chopped walnuts (optional)

Melt butter, chocolate and splenda in microwave. Stir in cream and peanut butter. Line 10 (in my case 6) muffin tins with cupcake papers. (I don't do this either...they just pop out easily once they are firm). Freeze until firm. These need to be stored in the freezer because they melt quick. You can eat them right out of the freezer!

Enjoy!
