I want to purchase some sugar free syrups after Christmas and was wondering which one is better Torani sugar free syrups or DaVinci sugar free syrups? They're both available in very similar flavors but has anyone tried them both and decided they prefer over the other?
Also....what's your favorite, most used flavor? Thanks
My favourites are sf Davinci in order of preference:
#1 Banana - love this flavour and very versatile
#2 German Chocolate Cake - yum!
#3 Butter Rum - nice in hot beverages

Also really like LorAnn Oils - especially the apple one - excellent with cinnamon oh my - tastes like apple pie. I get those at my local bulk barn but not all of them carry it so call ahead. You need to add your own sweetener with those, so be aware of that. Ony 1.99 for a wee bottle but you only need a drop. Takes up less space than the big bottles.
Also really like almond flavouring from the baking aisle in your grocery store - takes like marzipan.
You might want to try a smaller bottle if possible until you know if you like it. I have a huge bottle of pineapple and rarely use it as it has a weak flavour.
Good luck - let us know what you get. :0)

If you are thinking of buying the syrups for the Opti, don't bother. They don't help a lot, and the sooner you get used to the taste of opti, the better. Just suck it up, and find something else to be creative about. Obsessing about what we want to eat all the time just feeds the hungry monster.
It's not supposed to be easy.

I agree about we should obess about what we eat.
but since I'm doing opti right now. The syrups have helped me a lot. I can't bear the vanilla without flavoring.
Its not gonna be easy but I don't think it needs to be horrible. My personal opinion
cheers!
I have some of both, in different flavours. I got the DaVinci at Winners/Homesense and the Torani in the US at Walmart and Target. I like the DaVinci Khalua the best.
And I found they really helped with Optifast for anyone who is reading this pre-op.
Post-op they are nice to add to protein shakes and yoghurt.
