Starbucks

This afternoon, I craved a chai latte... but the sugary syrup is a little (a lot) too much so I asked the guy at the Starbucks for an alternative... he made me this: Chai Tazo Tea with Half Non-Fat Milk, Half Water... added a little splenda and voila! Did the trick.... tastes the same with almost no carbs!

Check out the nutritional infos on their menu: Drinks & Food

La Nouba

La Nouba... it's not just a Cirque du Soleil show... it's also a Belgian company that sells sugar free, low carbs and low calories products.  They don't sell in stores in Canada or in the US but they do have an online store.
Sugar free marshmallows anyone?

No Calories, Fat, Carbs, Gluten or Sugar.... With Walden Farms!

No taste? You would think so... but it's worth the try! Walden Farms’ mission has been to develop healthy specialty foods, helping people control their calories, fat, carbohydrates, gluten or sugars of any kind…without giving up great taste, ”The Walden Way.”

The company mainly sells in the US but I've heard that their products are available in some grocery stores, like IGA, in Quebec
