Walden Farms

 I don't know how many of you use this website for low or no calorie spreads and condiments.  I posted a recipe earlier today using their chocolate peanut spread.  I amusing more and more of their stuff in cooking and quite like some of it.

I rhought I would throw the link out there for those of you who may not know about it.  Their products are sold in some stores, but the website is usually cheaper in my experience.

Book marked! Thanks!

 Thanks for the link - have your ordered from there yet?  Any idea on the cost of shipping and delivery times?

 Ive been buying the stuff locally - the condiments and salad dressings are sold in Kroger, Publix etc.  I am going to place a big order for the peanut spreads online because they are cheaper there than locally.  I am told they ship quickly and cheaply but don't have direct knowledge.

I think it s $8.95 shipping for up to 10 items

Very cool. Thank you. Yogurt just ain't the same in chicken salad...I'm gonna try their amazing mayo!Sounds like score

I really really really REALLY disliked the mayo. I've tried most of their stuff and the whole family gave that one a big fat thumbs down. Try to thin out the greek yogurt with some lemon juice or lime. Or liquid sweetner if you like miracle whip.

You might like it, I dunno, but we thought it was pretty heinous. We either do the yogurt/lemon trick or just use light mayo in very small amounts and add yellow mustard.

Another idea for chicken is that we'll top it (or tuna) with fresh pico de gallo.

I always check Amazon for reviews of their stuff first, if there's more than a hand full, usually it tells the tale.

The best items we've found are the caramel dip (not the syrup) for putting into greek yogurt. The strawberry dip for the same reason. The Italian dressing is actually really good. My hubby likes the bacon dressing (I'm not a fan). The peanut spread we also didn't care for... couldn't get past the texture and the taste was way off, we use PB2 when we need a PB kick.

Anyway, your mileage may vary, but the mayo was really beyond vile so I thought I'd speak up. *laughing*

I'm curious so let me know if you try it and like it. We have HEB here and they stock most of it - it's usually found near the gluten free items.

And maybe someone else will speak up that they liked it. My vaccumn cleaner son even disliked it though (and I'm pretty sure he'd eat lint if I left a container of it in the fridge)

Well thank you for the heads up. I didn't order it. I did, however, try a little lemon juice in the yogurt, and it helped it out pretty good! So thank you for that tid-bit for sure!

You're welcome... beware the mayo! *laughing*

Seriously, you might be okay with it. I find I'm a snob about some things, but the mayo was epic.

I actually have two of their products.  They have a bacon ranch calorie, fat, cholesterol, and carb free dressing.  Works wonder on a chicken or turkey burger.

Also recently I have been putting in two tbsp of their chocolate dipping sauce into my vanilla protein shakes to make them chocolate shakes.  And something new for me as well is that I have been wanting something thicker in a protein shake so that it seems more milkshake like.  I have found that adding only 1/8 of a tsp of Xanthan Gum thickens it wonderfully.  By the way the chocolate dipping sauce is also calorie, fat, cholesterol, and carb free.

The chocolate dip would likely taste great covering a strawberry.  There is also a caramel dipping sauce that I can only imagine tasting great on an apple slice.  

I chose the dipping sauces as opposed to the syrups which are also available because my goal was to thicken my protein shake.  Besides that they seem more versatile.
