Torani vs extracts



Recommended Posts

Is anyone using extracts instead of Torani to mix up their shakes? I'm wondering if a few drop of almond added to chocolate would be good. Or better yet, root beer extract added to vanilla with a little ice and whipped up in the blender.

I use the Torani sugar free flavorings all the time. I use it for Protein drinks as well as my coffee and yogurt. I buy the plain greek yogurt and add a splash of Torani. Freeze that mixture and you basically have ice cream.


Oh, my favorites are the salted caramel and coffee liqueur.

Good advice on Torani, thanks. Will try it.

I personally cannot drink the SF Torani. It has a bad after taste that I couldn't get past.

I also cant eat Kale either or the SF popsicles everyone seems to be able to eat post-op.

I have added vanilla to FF greek yogurt and have added the powdered PB to yogurt as well. YUM

back when I was doing a lot of shakes, I added orange extract to vanilla shakes and mint extract to chocolate shakes. Loved them both. Especially when I mixed them in the blender with some ice. Add just a drop or two at a time, though, and then taste it before adding more. Extracts can be really strong. The first time I added mint extract to my chocolate shake, I added way too much - it tasted like strong toothpaste. Ugh!

In a round-about way, Yes! I don't really buy the Torani.< /p>

I like the Folgers Vanilla drops for my coffee, so it is always on hand. It makes any Protein drink a little more flavorful too. I have been known to add a squirt of strawberry Kiwi MIO (or whatever flavor I have around) and pack of Stevia to my cottage cheese. I found some Dasani (bottle Water brand) drops in pineapple Coconut and add them to a Vanilla Protein Drink, also yummy when added to my Water : ) Decaf instant coffee is also good if you use a Vanilla Protein powder.

Another good and easy one, for when you are on liquids... add a little taco seasoning to chicken broth! Tastes like the broth from chicken tortilla soup!

Added about 2 drops of Watkins Rootbeer Concentrate that I found at Walmart to my Premier Vanilla Protein shake and 1/2 T of half and half. Absolutely delicious!

I have yet to use the Torani syrups as my wallet says other things are more important. :)

I use the extracts frequently. I have used mint, almond, and vanilla. There are lots of recipes out there that use the extracts. I have "pinned" a lot of them on Pinterest.

Thanks for these suggestions, will try them... especially the taco seasoning tip

We were thinking about adding Torani to the BP Store. Where do you buy your Torani and how much do you normally pay?

It's at my local Festival Foods for $4.99. Not sure how many ounces though.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
