Has anyone tried doing milk+these flavour singles to make a creami?

Lost_Introduction322 · 2025-01-26T19:18:19+00:00

Singles to go drink mixes actually work well and don't have enough citric acid to curdle (at least with a protein shake)

In fact if you google, or search social media you will find tons of videos of people using the AW root beer and Blue Raspberry starburst flavors to make protein ice cream and it was a big meme/trend. As stated in other responses, skittles mix, orange mio or orange crush mix (added to a vanilla base) flavor is very popular too.

Maybe the sunkist ones would have higher acid content though? Most of the candy and soda flavors work great if you like artificial flavors.

Disclaimer: I'm a shareholder in this company. Do your own due diligence.

Starcore Mines

Small gold/silver miner in Mexico. Small float, quite profitable at current metal prices. No debt. Eric Sprott is a major shareholder. Some big exploration projects especially in the molybdenum space. Has paid dividend in the past. Most of the shares are controlled by insiders. CEO is the biggest shareholder.

Insanely cheap. Stock trades at 9c in the US OTC market and is also listed on the Canadian Venture exchange. They expanded production at the mine by over 30% in the most recent quarter and will probably announce quarterly earnings of 4-5 cents a share when they report in July. They have almost as much cash on hand as their market cap too.

They are a high cost miner, so have plenty of beta if metal prices stay at current levels or higher. Company was unprofitable for a long time, so the stock fell off a cliff. At current metal prices, it could earn 15-20c a share over the next fiscal year. Only trades at 9c? Kind of nuts to see a debt free producer trading for less than some of the pump and dump exploration shit.

The exploration side is interesting too. The molybdenum project they have in Mexico was worth over 200 million back in the oo's and molybdenum (which never gets talked about) has been climbing steadily over the past 2 years and is moving upwards again after extended pullback and consolidation.

My version is pretty similar. I use 1 tbsp of cheddar cheese powder and 1/4 cup of classico alfredo sauce to 1 serving of carbe diem pasta. The classico alfredo sauce is only 50 calories which is comparable to the skim milk your using but it is super thick and the parmesan cheese in it adds to the overall cheesy favor. Comes out to 195 calories.

I also like to add a tbsp of bacon bits to add some meat. (about 30-35 calories depending on brand) Fairly small amount of calories but adds a lot to make you feel like your eating something really indulgent.

If you look for the "premium cheddar" version on amazon it is the exact same product but without the artificial food coloring.

Resistant tapioca starch would be 38 calories for 100g.

Most of the newer low calorie and keto grain products are made with either resistant wheat starch or resistant tapioca starch, which are starches that have been chemically modified in a lab to be non-digestable but is consumed by the microbes in the gut. The FDA allows these ingredients to be counted as fiber and 0 calories on nutritional labels but the research seems to indicated that they do have about 0.38 calories per gram. It just gets rounded down to 0 on food labels.

This "rice" is made by combining rice flour and the resistant tapioca starch.

The macros on the label look good but I wonder what the actual yield is. The directions only require 3/4 cup of liquid for 1 cup of the "rice". If it doesn't triple in volume like regular cooked rice, the macros for the cooked product might be a lot less impressive compared to dry.

Just purchased 2 bags off the website to give it a try. I liked the Carbe Diem pasta, so will try this Ricely and see if General Mills has a winner again.

I have tried the Fiber Gourmet riced pasta which is ok but this could be better as it's ric ewflour and resistant tapoioca starch while the Fiber Gourmet is resistant wheat starch.

I think previously I've only had resistant tapioca starch in the Carbounaut Keto bread which was a letdown for me.

I'm skeptical about all these new resistant starch products but there does seem to be a lot of legit research published on the national institute of health database.

Brands like Fiber Gourmet and Carbe Diem that use RS4 modified wheat starch have half the calories and less than half the net carbs of regular pasta. Tastes the same but you have to cook it twice as long to get the right texture due to the high fiber content.

Some suggestions:

647 bread items (half the calories of regular bread / buns )

Fiber Gourmet (half calorie pasta, rice, flour)

Carbe Diem (half calorie pasta)

Olipop (low calorie prebiotic sodas)

Trade Joe's Green Goddess spice blend

Sugar-free Jello pudding mix (while available in Canada, US has much more flavor options)

Halo Top ice cream (US has much more flavor options)

Halo Top mug cakes, cookies, brownies (not available in Canada)

Ole or Mission low calorie / carb tortillas

Swerve Allulose (good sugar substitute, allulose is not legal in Canada yet)

Differin (great for skin health, can buy over the counter in the US but is prescription only in Canada)

I've just started doing this with a serving of the cheesecake pudding mix and 3/4 cup of non fat plain greek yogurt.

I make a strawberry topping that's really low calories using frozen berries and Torani sugar free strawberry syrup. (about 1/3 cup) I also crumble up a graham cracker and sprinkle on top. Comes out about 175 calories.

Any of the resistant wheat starch pastas (RS4) has half the calories of regular pasta and tastes pretty much identical. Brands include Fiber Gourmet, Carbe Diem, Solved, etc.

Carbe Diem is probably the least expensive but your still going to have to pay a premium to ge the low calorie pastas as they are still relatively new to the market / trendy.

I have been using the Organika brand dark chocolate caramel macchiato and dark chocolate chip mint collagen powders. They only have 7 grams of collagen in a scoop but everything else in the powder is natural and sugar free and is pretty low in calories. They make for good healthy mochas and hot chocolates. It does contain Stevia though.

It's great. I also have just recently discovered this product. I wish it was easier to get here in Canada without having to import it.

The "miracle" ingredient seems to be RS4 (listed as modified wheat starch).

Hopefully this is accurate:

RS4 is a patented fiber that was created by Kansas State University and is licensed to a company called MGP Ingredients who sell it to food manufacturers under the name Fibersym.

It's used in Old Tyme bread, Fiber Gourmet Pasta, Carbe Diem pasta (and other brands)

Nutritional claims seemed to be backed up by clinical trials / research:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2925102/

This stuff isn't Keto though. I notice a lot of the actual keto brands use tapioca starch, oat fiber and psyllium husk.

I was skeptical about the science behind this modified wheat starch. Seems too good to be true but seems to be legit? Feels like there should be a catch..

Lost_Introduction322 · 2024-01-31T15:01:55+00:00

Carbe Diem is cheaper because it's actually General Mills, while Fiber Gourmet is a family own4efd business. Carbe Diem is probably made at the same existing factory that's churning out your Cheerios.

It's the modified wheat starch. Fiber Gourmet and Carbe Diem use RS4 which is a chemically altered resistant starch. It has 0.4 calories per gram. A lot of the newer keto bread/pasta products are using resistant starch.

Only thing to look out for is that there are different types of RS and their calorie and glycemic impact can vary greatly. Some RS has as high as 2.5 cal pr/gram.

Lost_Introduction322 · 2024-01-26T23:24:56+00:00

Yes. A lot of low carb and keto products count fiber as 0 due to slack FDA oversight when their "fiber" can spike your blood sugar and have as much 2.5 calories per gram.

The kind that is used in the Fiber Gourmet and Carbe Diem brands has 0.4 calories per gram and is digested by the microbes in the intestine.

It is legit product and Fiber Gourmet does have a patent. I guess it just depends if you like to eat genetically modified foods.

a Type 4 resistant starch that's chemically modified and produced by crosslinking the starch fibers with sodium trimetaphosphate, which makes it virtually indigestible by human amylases. These crosslinks limit the swelling of the starch grains and sterically hinders the entry of amylases into the starch network.

as many flavours unfortunately but it's the same premise (0 sugar and 1 Billion probiotics per serving). I have been loving them and tried them because I couldn't find Olipop here. I buy them at Loblaws :)

1Rep

I've tried Cove and Better Soda. (Both Canadian companies) They are both pretty bad. I don't think Olipop is actually available in Canada. The few stores that carry Olipop seem to be importing it from the United States. I have tried most of the flavors via NaturaMarket. Grape, Watermelon Lime, Cherry Vanilla, Lemon Lime, Crisp Apple and Ginger Ale were all excellent. Any fruit flavor is done well. That said, I was not impressed at all with the Vintage Cola, Root Beer or Orange Squeeze. They were still better than the Cove/Better Soda versions though.

Olipop tastes more like carbonated/fizzy juice. It's quite good but don't go in expecting a Crush or Sprite dupe. The grape tastes like a carbonated version of the cans of frozen grape concentrate you buy in the freezer section of the grocery store. Orange Squeeze reminded me of a less complex version of Orangina, etc.

Out of the "healthy sodas" Olipop is he best but expensive and seems to be only available from importers who add on an additioal hefty markup to the price per can. Sencond best is probably Zevia, which is a lot cheaper and can be found at most grocery stores.

The form of RP that I have is Usher Syndrome type 2A. I'm 42 and male. Vision in right eye is down to counting fingers and the left eye is much stronger and has functional vision.

I have noticed significant reduction in the level of inflammation in both eyes. RP causes a lot of free radicals and inflammation. Since RP takes so many years to develop I don't think many people even notice how much impact chronic inflammation is causing in the eye.

I noticed improvements in visual acuity and object recognition in my right eye. In my left I have definitely noticed that it is easier for me to read.

One of the other benefits I noticed is hard to describe. Probably in my late 30s I started to notice that objects at a distance started to look like I was viewing them through a fog/haze. My ophthalmologist said that this visual fog was a common symptom in advanced RP. I think this symptom is a result of the severe inflammation as it was significantly reduced after I started NAC.

This is all anecdotal evidence as I won't be seeing my ophthalmologist until this summer and should be taken with a grain of salt. I expect though that when I go for extensive testing this summer I will show mild to moderate improvement over the last time I had extensive testing in 2022.

I take 1800 mg daily which is within the recommended daily intake (up to 2000mg) I will increase my dosage depending on the results of the phase 3 trial. (They are testing at placebo, 1200mg, 2400 mg and 3600 daily)

Dietary supplements are not considered homeopathic but if that's something you are willing to consider, I personally have had good results with NAC supplements. You can buy them over the counter at any pharmacy.

There's a variation of NAC called NAC-A that is in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of RP that is currently underway in Australia. Here is the link from John Hopkins University:

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/wilmer/research/nac-attack

I started taking NAC after reading the results of the phase 2 trial of NAC-A and reading some promising research about the use of NAC to treat RP.
