VitaFiber IMO Large Syrup - Sweet Prebiotic Fiber - Lower Calorie Sugar Alternative - 30 fl oz

Fantastic for making quest-like home-made protein bars! I have bought 7 bottles of this stuff in the past few months. Great for keeping a growing teenager full of healthy protein bars at a lower price than buying pre-made bars.The syrup itself is only slightly sweet, which is nice because you can add sweetener IF you want to, or can opt for a less sweet bar. The firmness of the bar depends on how hot you heat the syrup and for how long.This syrup makes incredible protein bars which I make everyday. Highly, highly recommend!!**************EDIT**********************Here's the recipe if you are interested... (makes 3 bars)(See Pic 1 to see packages of the ingredients)STEP 1:Mix the following and then microwave this liquid for 2 minutes on power level 4:~ 3 to 4 tbls Vitafiber Syrup (THIS PRODUCT)~ 1/2 tsp of flavors Lorann Oils Bakery Emulsion and have tried & like:Buttery Sweet Dough, Red Velvet, Princess Cake and Cookie, Cream Cheese emulsion, or even flavored water concentrates!SUGGESTIONS:*For savory options, try a scoop of Marmite Yeast Extract, S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix, or Better Than Bouillon, Organic Chicken Base!*I do NOT recommend artificial flavors: Pumpkin, Rum or Peanut Butter which taste horrible (in my opinion)STEP 2:While heating the syrup, I mix:~ 5 tbls of UNFLAVORED Whey Protein Powder (Whey Protein Powder Isolate by BulkSupplements (1 kilograms) | Clean & Pure Unflavored 90% Isolate for Men & Women | Build Muscle Mass & Burn Fat Fast) if I am adding flavor (or just choose a flavored protein you like)~ 1 tbls coconut flour~ A few "chunks" of something yummy (For Sweet, this could be butter cookies, dried blueberries, yogurt raisins, fruit snacks, etc. or for savory maybe add some chucked chicken, jerky sticks, nuts, crackers, whatever you want!)STEP 3:When the hot syrup is ready out of the microwave, mix the powder into the liquid until mixed well. Spoon the mixture into silicone bar pans (Freshware SL-113RD 9-Cavity Narrow Silicone Mold for Soap, Cake, Bread, Cupcake, Cheesecake, Cornbread, Muffin, Brownie, and More) and refrigerate for as little as a half an hour and they are ready to eat!

First I want to thank the company for their prompt customer service in right away sending me a new screw cap after I requested one (my latest order arrived intact, but with a broken screw cap). Such a response is greatly noticed and appreciated!But I also want to take this opportunity to express how much I love this product! I've been using it for about a year now, mostly to make homemade "rice crispy treats" (using VitaFiber and nut or seed butter instead of the usual butter and marshmallows) and homemade protein bars (using the VitaFiber, nut or seed butter, and flavored protein powder, usually Spiru-Tein from Nature's Plus), and it works wonderfully for both! I'm also experimenting with using the VitaFiber powder for similar recipes when we travel, though with that one I'm getting mixed results and keep needing to tweak it. But the syrup works exactly as hoped, creating a "glue" that holds the "bar" or "ball" together and giving it a satisfyingly chewy texture. And my digestive system has never experienced any adverse effects from the VitaFiber, which is a relief as there are certain ingredients that are majorly off-limits for me in this regard. I will definitely continue to use this product, and highly recommend it for those who prefer to make these type of foods for themselves, either out of personal preferences or due to dietary needs.

Sugar addicts won't think it's sweet enough, but, if you are a health conscious person that has eliminated sugar from their diet, you will love being able to add a little sweetness back into your diet. blend with berries for pancake syrup, sweeten yogurt, make your own chockolates, enjoy cookies again, etc....no weird Tastes like stevia. Only tasty sweetener that I have found that does not raise blood glucose ( which is the worst thing about sugar) unlike sugar, agave, coconut sugar, honey, maple syrup, dates, rice syrup, etc...I have been reviewing studies since I posted this. Unfortunately, It appears that it may raise blood sugar levels comparably to glucose. It still may encourage the growth of "good" gut bacteria however. This will still b the only sweetener I use however, because it tastes the best to me and seems to have some benefits over corn syrup.

Pleased to has this is the real deal. Simple to make clean healthy protein bars at a fraction the price of those big boys that start with Q and end with a uest. :)Guy dude bro recipe:I'm rather simple and really enjoyed the bars I made with vanilla whey protein powder, PB2 and of course VitaFiber. Microwave the Vitafiber and pour in into your powder and mix and mix until it's all combined. Take a small cakepan and line with wax paper and dump the mixture in the pan and spread it out even while compacting everything together. Now into the fridge for maybe 10 minutes or so just enough to be nice and solid. Lift the wax paper out and you can now weigh and divide up the bars knowing exactly the macros and clean ingredients you chose to add. Wrap each bar in wax paper and toss them all in a large zip lock in the fridge to enjoy as needed.They do hold up quite well at room temperature for several hours maintaining their shape which was a concern I had initially. I'll just take a bar wrapped in wax paper and put in a ziploc bag in my backpack on my way out the door and it's perfect hours later.

They say sugar free, not sure what kind of research they do, but I test a fasting, one hour after a meal with dessert and then two hours. Usually after one meal and dessert my bloodsugar is under 100mg/dl, this time with dinner and this fibafiber dessert bar I made after one hour it was 135mg/dl!! IT took three hours to get my blood sugar under 100.NOT SUGAR FREE!!!!
