I want an ice cream machine. I'm thinking I want the salted caramel flavor of Torani (along with a bunch of others) but am afraid it might not live up to what I'm imagining it to be. And then I need a new kitchen to hold all this stuff...

I bought some Crystal Light mocktail mix (can't remember which flavor) and am dying to mix it up to the consistency of a frozen margarita...

 I should also mention that the torani syrups can also be used to make awesome marinades for chicken.  Dice up the chicken breast finely and salt it.  Throw in a little hazelnut syrup or caramel with sesame seeds, cumin, a dash of garkic and red wine vinegar.

 Oh my...maybe this is the application for the salted caramel flavor I want to try. Sounds awesome!

 I use the brown sugar cinnamon with a dash of Trop 50 and balsamic vinigar, and then marinate chicken and tomatoes in it and grill, out of this world.

Yummy!

Thank you for suggesting adding the Mio to GY. I use the store brands and now I'm digging GY with a bit of Kashi added.

 I feel like a moron not knowing what Mio even is?!? I drink plain water just fine but haaaaate plain Greek yogurt. Blech! Where do I get Mio? I'd like to try it in yogurt.

 Kroger, Wal Mart, Target.  All of those stores have their own versions as well that are usually 1.00 to 1.20 cheaper.

Mio has mainly fruit flavors, it is a zero calorie artifical sweetner for water.  If you haven't tried the Torani syrups - look into those as well.

 I loved Torani before surgery but now it leaves a horrid alcohol aftertaste in my mouth and I can't handle them.  but I love my mio!
