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 enlightened

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

Here is a link: http://www.thelowcarbgrocery.com/catalog/davinci-c-132_267_5 39.html

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 disagree. I liked mixing up the flavors. Vanilla got old real fast. I used the torani syrups with black cherry, pumpkin spice, and decaf coffee with hazelnut being my fave. I can't do chocolate it gives me wicked headaches. Michelle

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.

I have some of both brands. They sell tora I at home outfitters and my favorite is the toffee from davinci. Starbucks sells their syrups too. They give you a free pump and it is the same price as the others. Sf cinammon dolce is my favorite from them.
