I got this idea from someone else on these boards, but I modified it to a frozen treat instead of a liquid treat.


Take DIET orange soda and heavy cream and mix them together in a large jug until mixed well. You can use as much as you want. I like to use a little more soda and then about a third of cream. Pour this creamy, sweet, mixture into popsycle molds and freeze.

These frozen treats taste just like an orange creamsycle from childhood. They are sweet and creamy and taste oh so sinful. I found a 0 carb cream at king soopers, so the pops are zero carbs each!!!! But if you really want to be sure you can just count each one as 1 carb gram. (Still very low!)

You can also do this with diet root beer, or diet dr. pepper. Yum! Enjoy!

sounds great, payday I'm heading to the grocery!!

This is so what I've been looking for. I love ice cream but don't really want to spend money on an ice cream maker (perhaps I'll ask for one for my birthday) but in the mean time, this is GENIUS! Definitely getting some of this today!

I just read this to my Non-low carb Hubby, He would like me to go out in the snow storm to get pop molds now!!! Sounds great gonna try this soon!

Diet Rite makes a *great* Tangerine Soda made with Splenda instead of the usual aspartame in most diet sodas which can slow *some* peoples weight loss.

I've tried making the creamsicles with the Tangerine and also their Raspberry diet soda which is also just as good. Their whole diet line up is actually pretty awesome including the diet Black Cherry, Cherry Cola, White Grape, Kiwi Strawberry. All zero carb, zero calorie, zero sugar. So you could just have yourself a creamsicle fest!

Oh yeah...almost forgot...Trader Joes carries a zero carb Heavy Whipping Cream.

For me it doesn't matter how many zero carbs things have. If I am not real careful all these yummy treats I hear about on this forum can sure sabotage this WOE. I just want to learn to eat clean and avoid to many low carb substitutes. OH but it is soooooo hard. ARGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

What about using ZEVIA - soda sweetened with Stevia:

Unfortunately there's no such thing as 0 carb cream. You can't go by the label for cream, which lists a 'serving' as 1 tablespoon. That's because there are 7 carbs per cup of heavy cream, which means a tablespoon falls under the "less than .5 carbs" labeling law, which allows them to round down to zero. But it's not actually zero, it's .44 carbs per tablespoon to be precise. Low carb, sure - but not zero carb.

Worse, there are even more carbs in light whipping cream - because there's less fat. 9 carbs per cup. And still more in half and half.

If you're still at the stage where accurately counting carbs matters to whether or not you stall, and you're eating more than 1 tbls a day from all sources, this is a number you should record in your daily food journal. This is probably why Atkins limited the amount of cream you can eat on induction.

Thanks for this. I only buy soda a few times a year but the last time I was in that aisle I looked at dozens of labels and finally gave up.

Even better, but I wish it was carried at a store closer to me. I'll try it eventually.

I definately will try this idea out. My dh is on the atkins with me and we could use a little pick me up every once in a blue moon. Little extra additives you could pull off an awesome sherbert icecream too I bet.
