Has anyone tried the low carb milk? How do they make that and how does it taste? Is it still dairy? Or is it just soy milk in a different bottle?
Thanks.

It's a mix of soy milk and low fat milk, very creamy. My first bite (with Atkins cereal) tasted rather soy-ey (I used to drink soy milk exclusively, and liked it) but after that it settled into a real milk taste.
The only way you will know if it agrees with you is to try it, I haven't drunk real milk in 15 years.

The one I have been using doesn't have soy in it. It tastes just like milk! It's called Carb Countdown.

I just stopped using soy because I'm hearing bad things about it in relation to cancer risks and thyroid.

It tastes a little sweet to me. I'm sure is ok with cereal, but I didn't care too much to drink it straight from the glass. The chocolate one was ok, but after the first taste it stayed in the refrigerator for weeks without me touching it, so I had to finally throw it away. I guess I'm not used to drinking milk anymore. I would get for cereal.

I was under the impression that Carb Countdown milk was regular milk, with the lactose yanked out, and then splenda stuffed in

The carb countdown is a mix of butter milk, regular milk, sweetners and so on. It doesn't have soy, but does taste a little like powder milk until you are used to it. It still does have lactose.

The soy slender is a splenda sweetened soy milk that tastes more like regular milk then soy. It has 1 net carb and I love the stuff

Yay for carb countdown!!!

It's not perfect.. and tastes strange until you get used to it. The homo milk tastes best, but they're all great in tea, or shakes, or heated.

I love Carb Countdown. It is one of the regulars on my grocery list now when I go to the grocery store. I don't like the chocolate, but love the homogenized in the white.

I love the choc. Carb Countdown milk, tastes like a milk shake. The yogurt is NAAAASTY though, I got it yesterday, BLECH!

Gee, I gotta check the label again, sorry about that. Maybe my taste buds are just projecting "soy" after all.

You can make yogurt very easily with the low carb milk - there's a whole thread about it somewhere in the food section of the forums. Basically you just heat it until it's very warm - not boiling!! and not tooo hot, pour it into a large thermos, add a few tbs of say, dannone plain whole milk yog with active cultures and let it sit for 8-20 hours. After you can mix in stevia and vanilla or whatever... Or eat it plain. It's delicious.

I use the Carb Countdown in cooking and for drinking. My daughter loves it as strawberry milk with Davinci strawberry syrup. We use the chocolate heated for hot choc. As for yogurt. I have never seen Carb Coundown yogurt in the stores but Blue Bunny makes a delicious 5 gram yogurt called Carb Freedom. It is splenda sweetened and comes in strawberry, vanilla, peach, and raspberry. You would never know it was lc.

Hey! I never thought about making yogurt out of it. Good stuff! Making it in a thermos. Wow, clever stuff. Do you put the top on the thermos? Or would the bacterial activity blow it off?

I never got any yogurts to work using the thermos method. What I did was bought a small yogurt maker from www.amazon.com It was under $15 and saves me a ton of money by being able to make my own. I also feel homade yogurt without the addatives, sweetners and such is better for my kids as well The carb countdown really works well in yogurt. It started to thicken up on me right away and one time I almost had yogurt cheese.

Here is the one I got. It looks like the sell on it is over, but it's still under $20

I would recomend if you can to buy a glass mason jar with a wide mouth to use in it. That way you can have a tight fitting lid and also be able tot store in glas sinstead of plastic. It's the wrong time of year for canning so I just use the plastic container that comes with the maker and have no problem. I am just very careful nto to tip it or drop it

I buy the 2% Carb Countdown. I had it with Atkins cereal and it was so awesome. It is a great before workout snack. DH has never been a cereal eater and he had bowl for a snack the other night. I also use it in my coffee in the morning. I also like the fact that it has more protein and calcium than regular milk.
