I saw some comments for part one of this video where people have stated that ChocZero causes their blood sugar to spike and that they speculate it could be due to the vegetable fiber. I want to maker sure everyone is aware of this. And I go back to my comments at the beginning of part one where I state that I everyone of us has to "own" what we put in our bodies, and for a lot of folks, that means testing your blood glucose after ingesting any of these products to see if they impact you.
I tried Choczero last week and I was fine and I thought it was really good. I had it with some homemade coconut flour pancakes one day and with a store-bought keto friendly pancake mix another day (the base was made of almond flour). I don’t test my blood sugar, but I now know how it feels when my blood sugar and insulin spikes, and I know certain telltale signs in my body (swelling from water retention for example), and I didn’t get any of that.
Most people know not to have maltodextrin on keto. The companies are aware of this. Not sure if it is true or not, but they do sometimes change the name to "vegetable fiber" to hide it. (Not sure if i am remembering the right product or not, but i do think it was this one that i read that did that).
What causes your blood sugar to spike is monk fruit. Not everyone can eat monk fruit and not get a sugar spike so you must check your sugars after eating to see if it does this for you.
I love this video! I appreciate you and your daughter’s candid feedback so much😀I’ve used the Mrs Butterworth and Walden Farms pre keto- when I was still on the traditional calorie restriction yo-yo circuit and really liked them! I hate chemical tasting items; happily I didn’t get that taste with those two at all! Prior to finding your channel, I thought I’d only ever eat bacon and eggs for breakfast forever.... actually that made me very sad, so most days I skip breakfast. Now, I’m planning to make a keto French toast with the Aldi bread I learned about from your review, and one of these syrups! Yay for options 😀😀 Thank you for making my journey that much more doable! ❤️I’m almost at a weight and visceral fat percentage that I didn’t think was attainable. And my arthritic knees bother me a lot less now! This is in just over a month with keto I feel like I’ve found gold! Thank you 😊
Personally I still Love Log Cabin. Don’t us really often but when I do I want something to taste like it should.( my personal opinion 😉) I love these taste test comparison. Yes, everyone has different taste buds but I find these very useful. Thank you and your daughter for all the hard work you put into these ! ( and editing too!) Susan from Indiana 🥰
PSA: *Tapioca Fiber is another name for Isomalt.* It is a sugar and should NEVER be subtracted to get net carbs, and should NEVER be consumed on a keto diet because it is just a refined sugar like High Fructose Corn Syrup. If you've been consuming a little bit of it it might be flying under the radar, but if you're stalling and this is in the food you eat, *cut it out*
@@MrFredsAdventures No, but it still rapidly raises blood sugar to 125 MG/dL. It's glycemic index is 35, which means that it'll kick you out of ketosis.
On the North East Coast in most supermarkets we have Cary's Sugar Free Syrup: 5cal /2Tbs. Total carb 3g, sugar alcohol 2g. Sweetened with (in order) sorbitol, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, aspartame. Common sweeteners used in sugar free beverages. Syrup thick and good maple flavor. I put it on greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
Love all these test videos! After trying a few different ones I've settled on the Walden Farms maple syrup. I don't think it's mapley enough so I mix a bit of maple extract and some butter extract in it, it's good that way.
Contact Lakanto and tell them about your expperience. My did not "fizz" , has no foam, and it taste very good. Yes, it is thin but the flavor is great. It's my husbands favorite.
The recent reviews on Amazon ALL say it’s changed, they’ve had it before, and it’s disgusting now. Alcohol flavor was mentioned also. I’d steer clear of the new batches...🤷🏻♀️
Beth Mahoney Reread these comments... Sounds like somehow the potato starch started to ferment. That would explain the alcohol and the fizziness. Those are both byproducts of fermentation of potato. Vodka is made that way.
For all the Canadian ketos out there, I love the Steeves Maple syrup. It tastes just like the stuff my friends' dad used to make each spring. It's got the right texture for real maple syrup, too. It's more expensive, but the taste is worth it.
So far Choc Zero has been my favorite “keto” maple syrup. Lately, I’ve been putting a handful of frozen blueberries in a ramekin and in the microwave, mushing them up a bit, and putting that on my pancakes/waffles. A bit of butter makes it a bit richer, a great addition. As a kid I hated adding butter 🤷🏻♂️
Oh my gosh! These syrup videos cracked me up! I seriously had no idea when I clicked on this mini series that I was going to laugh so hard. Also thanks for the honest reviews. I’m going to try that log cabin :-) Thanks y’all! ❤️
Thanks for the reviews! Never tried the syrup before by Lakanto but I use the Lakanto sugar substitute and it is the best! No after taste like any other sugar substitutes. 😋
Agreed with you on the tastes of these syrups. ChocZero is some of my favorite syrup, but sometimes the flavors don’t quite align with the flavors they are supposed to be. I have tried all their syrups and they are all good in their own way. The chocolate syrup is fantastic on top of ice cream, and their strawberry and banana syrup is really good in smoothies. The amount of fiber makes me nervous however. I need to do more self experimentation to see if it’s the syrups themselves or what I’m eating with them, but sometimes I do get GI issues or unstable hunger consistent with being kicked out of keto. I’ve seen some people do blood tests with the Choc zero syrups and report no change in ketone or blood sugar levels, so who knows. I need to order more test strips and I might test myself. I’m fairly certain they are using liquid corn fiber which should not affect blood sugar at all. This is what the other choc zero products use and I can consume several servings of their chocolate with no issues. Lily’s chocolate on the other hand gives me horrific gas and bloating for hours, even a single serving. It’s the excessive amount of inulin in Lily’s that does this. So Choc Zero is my go to company for chocolate and chocolate chips now. The Walden Farms syrup, despite being full of chemicals and sucralose, never cause me any GI or blood sugar issues and is also delicious. It’s also cheap in the grocery stores near me. They have a strawberry syrup that is really good too, but their maple is definitely my favorite.
Omg...I'm still dying from watching the end with Pyure...lol "Whoa!" And, If you want to squirt this on your pancakes from 10 feet away, you could do that with this bottle...lmao Funny!!
Lakanto keeps changing the recipe (for the worse) I believe there are 4 different different. We used the Lakanto religiously up till about 2 weeks ago when my kids opened a new bottle and it's like pure water. Taste is bad and kids didnt eat their waffles for the first time in history. We have done the choc syrup before but noticed kids sneaking it. I know from experience that it was spiking their blood sugar. I have gotten a strawberry syrup from Amazon that my (Wäbry)family quite likes and remimds us of the IHOP strawberry but real. My son likes to make strawberry milk with it and Milkadamia. HOWEVER, we are needing to trim the budget a bit and "Keto" Syrups are quite pricey so thank you forthis video it really helped me decide how best to proceed.
Resistant maltodextrin is soluble corn fiber. That's what makes it thick in choczero. It's all so not digestible bc humans don't have enzymes to break it down. Good video.
Ok Steve, you did it again, laughed my butt off with your facial expression and comment at the end of part 2. I can’t believe you scooped that syrup off the table. LOL!!! Oh yeah, and it was another Great video!! Thanks for your hard work
I hate to say this, because I really like supporting You-Tubers via the affiliate links they provide, but that price of $14.99 was $10 MORE expensive than the $4.99 of the Walden Farms website. (Everything on their website is $4.99) I purchased several items from them, eight to be exact, and the shipping was only $8.95 for all eight items. MUCH CHEAPER! Thanks for the info, and the effort from Serious Keto!
I only get 1% on food sales through Amazon, so if you can find a better price elsewhere, by all means go for it. My feelings won't be hurt in the least.
Mostly. Splenda is a brand. They also have allulose as a product. The little yellow packets are around 5% sucralose and 95% maltodextrin. I have some “uncut” sucralose and I believe the sweetness of 1/32 tsp equals one cup of sugar. A lot of people hate on it either because of the maltodextrin in Splenda or because a study showed that massive amounts of it damaged the gut biome of mice.
As far as the blueberry syrup goes, I just make my own by boiling organic frozen or fresh blueberries in a little water and adding Bocha Sweet. Can't beat it.
I’m a fan of Pyrue. Although I’ve never seen the syrup. Good to see they are adding other items to choose from. Thanks for all the input of different syrups.
Thank you for your input. I can now safely say that I will continue to make the homemade, it tastes good, it's inexpensive and less ingredients means less possible issues.
My lakanto syrup is really good. I like the Walden Farms syrups too. I want to try the Log Cabin syrup. I call the candy cubes carmels, and the syrup caramel.
I LOVE the Choc Zero syrups. Right now they also have a Pumpkin Spice one that is seasonal that is delicious as well. We put these on Chaffles all the time!
Good Morning! For low carb syrup at our house we just melt butter and stir in either Sugar free Toscani or Skinny Syrup salted Caramel syrup. It’s not a thick syrup but we really like the flavor.
I don't care for it alone but use it in recipes and beverages. We love the pumpkin flavored in coffee for that fall flavor. I find it locally at Home Goods, TJMax (Iowa). Thanks for all you contribute to the Keto world.
I wonder if adding straight maple extract to it would improve the flavor of the choczero. It's already pretty sweet on its own, so adding maple flavored stevia would only make it sweeter.
Personally, Vermont Maid Syrup is my favorite both Sugar and Sugar Free versions. The Sugar version taste 99% like real Maple Syrup where as the Sugar Free version taste similar to Cary's Sugar Free Syrup; which is my second favorite Sugar Free Syrup
We also tested the ChocZero the way you both did, and have the same opinion, mild flavor. Then we tried it on a cornbread recipe my wife had. The carmel flavor was just right. It made the cornbread (which really wasn't very flavorful in corn) just awesome. The cornbread is someone else's recipe. Tried the ChocZero chocolate in her coffee, that didn't work. Maple is to light on pancakes, back to Log Cabin.
Choc Zero is the bomb! Just a note, the taste intensifies, in my opinion, when you put it ON something-- I LOVE it on cloud bread, the flavors are much more present, not sure why! Try the maple pecan, I think it's almost better than the maple😉😁💖 I'm gonna try n make candied pecans with it😁
Ruled.me has a homemade easy maple syrup recipe that's perfectly good! That's what I use rather than spending money on a sugar free syrup that has bad ingredients in it.
I just saw for the first time that Birch Benders has developed 3 "Magic Maple" syrups. One of them (Mind Body) even has grass-fed collagen and MCT in it. The other two look pretty clean as well. I am really excited and pleased that so many companies are focusing on providing products tailored to the lifestyle!
I saw one of the "magic syrups" at WalMart yesterday and debated picking it up. If I didn't have a dozen bottle of syrup in my pantry right now (care of this video), I probably would have.🙂
@@SeriousKeto Walmart! How convenient could it get?! Forgive me for the bad memory, but I believe there was one or two that you really liked but were really runny. So, this makes me think about improving some of those "Okay but thin" by adding collagen and/or MCT to them. BB also adds xanthan gum. I still don't believe there is anything that can be done for the Lakanto, though...
You need to try Cary's Sugar-free Maple Syrup. It does taste like maple syrup and is very tasty without being watery. That's my choice, but Right now I use Liquid fiber and maple extract. Thick, zero carbs, and really good.
Thanks for sharing. Also an extract can be made using food grade glycerine (it´s sweet), adding orange peel or berries, it could also be diluted with some alcohol to extend shelf life and soften the sweetness. That´s what we use for our chaffles.
I do "clean" so buy Pyure. When you are doing your great videos, like this, I appreciate you telling me what has the S word, so I won't buy. What annoys me is when someone is endorsing a product that has sucralose, but promotes being clean. not for myself because I know the difference, but it can confuse someone new to Keto. Now if a channel is saying they are lazy or dirty, I watch those too for recipes, I understand if they are using the wrong mayo. My point, if a channel is promoting clean, they can confuse a new person. Later that person is not losing weight they don't understand why, I see this all over the net. Sorry if anyone offended you, love watching your videos, depend on your reviews.
@@richardlueth9961 I read it on other groups. Go to their website and you can read the back of the ingredients, it has potato starch now when it did not a few months ago.
@@annettemuzquiz4810 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but us clean ketos need to stick together: Pyure is one of the worst offenders. Tapioca Fiber, the second ingredient, is a sugar. Its highly processed cassava root. its under review by the FDA right now and will likely soon come out as a sugar instead of being classified as a fiber. DO a search for Diabetic and Tapioca Fiber/fiberyum/cassava root/isomalt.... and see how many people have said for years they stay away from it because it spikes their blood sugar like crazy
Artbug..like I always say, u never stop learning. Here I thought I was doing the right thing. I'm vacationing right now so dont have the syrup in front of me, did they change the recipe, or am I just brain dead, don't ans thar..lol, but thank you for the heads up. I hardly ever use it and try to stay away from sugar substitutes. What syrup do you use?
1. ChocZero Maple - monk fruit 1 T 1 net carb. Thick. Not strongly maple but not bad. Caramel - tastes good, but like butterscotch. (Steve says it’s expensive!) Chocolate-again, very thick. Tastes like chocolate frosting, tastes good. 2. Le canto combined with ChocZero - one reader recommended but they don’t like it. Smuckers & Mrs. Butterworth least expensive. Log Cabin good and inexpensive but has questionable ingredients. Retest on ChocZero maple - tastes vanilla and maple. Perhaps try watering it down and adding maple flavor stevia drops. 4. Walden farms - maple, good flavor. 1/4 c Zero total carbs. Sucralose. Steve really likes this one. Blueberry- sharp, tangy flavor 5. Pyure- 27 g total carbs, 13 g fiber, 10 g erythritol, 4 g net carbs. Also stevia. Thin. Reminds Steve a lot of natural maple syrup.
My fav syrup so far is maple pecan by choc zero. I also like the chocolate. I haven’t tried Walden Farms due to the Sucralose. Thank you for testing these! 😊
Your kids are excellent co-hosts! I appreciate the heads up on these items that I had decided I wouldn't try (really scarred by that Lakanto stuff!) and now I'll be a little more confident if I decide to do so thanks to your honest review!
Courtney definitely plays to the camera. As for the Lakanto, I'll probably get another bottle if we do a part 3 to this video. From what everyone is saying, it sounds like I got a bad bottle.
@@SeriousKeto Are they replacing it? I wouldn't buy it if not. I bought a 2-pack of it and merely tasted the first one and never touched it again - it's HORRIBLE! I do like their granulated and powdered products, though I find them super-sweet.
AlohaPrepper I love Lakanto sweeteners, but I cannot stand the syrup anymore. I now use Walden Farms. His daughter is great on camera. They seem like a cool family.
My Lokanto experience was so so. The maple taste was good but it was thin. I did notice that it has a medicine like after taste but I was grateful to just have Keto syrup at all.
I have the lakanto syrup and like it ok. But its definitely not terrible. You should contact them and see if they will send you another bottle. That choc zero stuff is definitely delicious!! I mixed some of the caramel one with some butter and cook down for some pecan pie bars!! Yum!!
At my local Pick n Save(im in Wisconsin too!) The only choices I have are Carey's Sugar Free, Lakanto, and Walden Farms. Walden Farms is an easy winner for me and is my go to Maple Syrup. I love their chocolate and caramel syrups as well. Have not tried any of their other products though.
Walden Farms Pancake syrup is quite good and if I run out, Maple Grove syrup is pretty good and you can find that at Walmart. May try the log cabin one day though.
We love the Choc Zero. We live in Canada so yes it's expensive, but considering how often we use it, we don't mind too much. I do add water to mine. And Steve, you pronounce caramel correctly if you live in Canada 😃, at least that's how I've always pronounced it.
DO NOT ADD WATER !!!! I put the bottle in a cup of hot water when I make up my waffles. The Choc Zero gets thinner when it's warmer. Chocolate is great warmed up to put on ice cream and it take a very little amount of the maple or flavored maples on the waffles. It's actually sweet and needs no sugar.
Hi Steve & Courtney! Thanks for another great video! It’s a bit pricey but have you tried KNOW Foods allulose-based pancake syrup? It’s my family’s favorite.
I am super wary with sucralose but I've learnt to test my tolerance to products with it in - if I'm OK I test hubby (diabetic). We are both fine with the Walden farms syrups and they are definitely the best ones we've found available in the UK. I have a few of them and the only one I'm not keen on is the caramel, but I've totally gone off caramel flavour since starting keto so it may be me. I always love taste testing videos and would rather see all the choices available - people can always make their individual choices depending how strict they are with their keto diet.
Favorite dirty syrup is Maple Grove Farms cheap at Walmart and you can get butter flavor or Maple flavor. 2 net carbs per 1/4 cup but VERY dirty ingredients. I actually preferred this to sugar syrup before I did keto. Now I just make my own. To thicken up those thin syrups you've got, add 1/4 tsp xanthan gum per cup in a bullet style blender or put in a container with high sides and use immersion blender. Bullet works better though and it gets better with time or 30 seconds instead of 5 in the blender.
Walden Farms has changed their formula. I just finished my bottle that is in this video. I then opened my new bottle. Omg, the old one is so much being terms of taste and consistency!!
The lakanto we got tastes decent to us. We found that refrigerating it thickened it a little. You may have gotten a bad batch. As a matter of fact, I had to go taste mine after watching your 1st video 😆. Thankfully, I still like it but, I don't have any of the other ones you guys do to compare.
Never had a problem with lakanto's flavor (I think you got a bad bottle) my biggest problem with most of the keto syrups is they're all runny like water.
I think the lakanto you have may have started fermenting. I have purchased 6 bottles in the last 2 months and the stuff does bubble if shaken. The bubbles dont seem to pop much but when I tasted it I did not get a soda vibe like you did. I know the stuff is thin but to me had the best flavor for the ones I have tried. I do know everyone's taste is different though. For me I hate bitter stuff and havent noticed a bitter taste using stevia but tons of other people say it is bitter. Most of the people who say it taste bitter also like cilantro which I cannot stand. Maybe it has to do with genetics? Not sure but I do love your videos!
Careys is the BEST!! I do live in the south but you can find it on Amazon it's also reasonably cheap I as well fell victim to the monk fruit maple syrup ughh I used birch benders. .. it smelled amazing but when you taste it something is off it also leaves a aftertaste that you must drink water to get rid of
Next taste test, use a wooden utensil to get rid of any metallic taste that could interfere with any additional flavors ... Love your videos, please keep this up!
We recently found and like a maple syrup by Birch Blenders that we quite like. It is a bit on the thin side and has a mild maple flavor. It has 1 net grams carbs and is sweetened with monkfruit only. There are no "suspect" ingredients nor any wood alcohols in the listing. Worth a try, I think, for anyone looking to not use sucralose. The label specifically calls out that it is Keto and Paleo. Not cheap but not astronomical either at Kroger. You can find it on Amazon, though it has a very bad rating there. Not sure why because the bottle we got sure doesn't taste like many reviewers on there say it does. Oh well, it is all subjective, right?
I wanted them to try the birchbenders one so badly... the ingredients are AMAZING for keto. So many of the ones he tried you couldn't pay me to put in my body :P
Lakanto changed the formula I had some a couple of years ago and was great didn’t have the tapioca and potato in it since changing the blend has become nasty.
I put my lakanto in the fridge.. I didnt care for it, soooo I went on a mission. I got the Vermont sugar free syrup. The best I have ever had! Didnt care for choc zero either.. I guess Im picky.
You gotta try fiber yum, mix some organic maple extract in it to taste... hands down the best tasting keto maple syrup, tastes amazing, my kids don’t even know the difference. Let me know what you think after you give it a go, thanks and god bless!
I really want to know where you got those spoons! I have an obsession with tiny flatware lol! Have you tried Sinfit syrup? I got it in a subscription box and LOVE it, it has a buttery maple flavor!
I haven’t tried any of these but I have recently got a FiberYum syrup based on a recommendation by Dr. Berg and I’ve experimented with adding some maple extract and strawberry extract and I like it a lot I can’t believe it’s so unaddicting, I’m buying a bigger batch next time, maybe you want to get yourself some of that stuff and try it out 😉
Thats a pretty old Berg video, and even on the video if you read the comments there are a bunch of people even that many years ago saying how bad that product is and that it raises their blood sugar. The FDA is reviewing it this year and it will likely not be categorized as a fiber anymore, but a sugar like high fructose corn syrup. Fiber Yum is no good
The Lakanto that I have has was super liquid too, but didn't taste bad to me. So maybe Monk fruit is ok for me, but it does something to your taste buds? I've had two bottles of it, and it was ok. I've also had the Walden Farms syrup too.
THAT's who she looks like...lol, I kept thinking she looked like someone I had seen before.. I always thought she was such a cutie pie... and so is Courtney. ❤️️
Log Cabin is a 10/10 for flavor, even though it's pretty bad for you, your not drinking it by the quart. Walden Farms has a slightly less offensive ingredient list and is even lower in calories but the flavor is a 9.5/10. Those are my top two flavor wise i haven't tried the ChocZero though due to $$$. I think the Lakanto you guys got was bad cuz I don't remember it being terrible when I tried it a couple years ago.
Walden Farms products are the truth (not just their syrups, but their barbeque sauces and salad dressings too). If you like the Pancake Syrup, you ought to try the Maple Walnut. It's incredibly good.
Greetings really loving your video I am type 2 diabetic. I have a severe muscular disease due to a misdiagnosis approximately 40 years ago. I cannot take most prescribed medications without major problems. So I manage my diabetes with diet my last A12 was 5.2. My question is how do you guys think these choco brand syurps as a sweetener alternative would work in things like homemade soft serve ice cream etc?
I'm the same on a lot of these "dirty" keto sweeteners or syrups. I use them maybe once per month, so I might as well enjoy them. Besides, I looked at the Sucralose study on mice and I'd need to consume 40 packets of Splenda per day at my body weight to equal the dose they gave the mice.
My absolutely favorite sugar free syrup is by far Joseph's.... It is thick and delicious!!! Reminds me of Steens Syrup(sugar cane syrup) from Louisiana!!! I love that stuff... You need to try it....35 calories for 1/4 cup....does have maltitol.... I' m hooked😍.... Just try it🙆
Interesting results - I'm not a fan of Walden Farms syrup and don't find Lakanto all that objectionable. Haven't tried the ChocZero brand yet. I rarely use syrup anyway unless mixed into something else, so eating it straight from the container may change my perception.
I have the choc zero chocolate syrup (pouring it can be a challenge.They need to add a pour spout). I would try to add some additional maple flavor to the maple syrup, so I look forward to seeing your experimentation in the future. I also have the walden farms maple, it tastes good but wish it had a little bit more thickness, I think I added a sprinkle of Xanthan gum to a serving once. I did not know that Pyure had a syrup! Did you notice any cooling effect with that one?
I put the blueberry syrup with vanilla ice cream or the occasional Greek yogurt. The Walden syrups are chemical garbage but if it's the only thing... The Pyure I hated but used it in cooking like sweet and sour or sauces that need honey like Asian sauces.
I saw some comments for part one of this video where people have stated that ChocZero causes their blood sugar to spike and that they speculate it could be due to the vegetable fiber. I want to maker sure everyone is aware of this. And I go back to my comments at the beginning of part one where I state that I everyone of us has to "own" what we put in our bodies, and for a lot of folks, that means testing your blood glucose after ingesting any of these products to see if they impact you.
Serious Keto i eat choc zero chocolate bars and haven’t had bl sugar spikes. There are similar Ingredients in both products. Everyone is different!
Can you review keto jellies and jams? I really need a pb&j chaffle but I can’t find the best jelly
I tried Choczero last week and I was fine and I thought it was really good. I had it with some homemade coconut flour pancakes one day and with a store-bought keto friendly pancake mix another day (the base was made of almond flour). I don’t test my blood sugar, but I now know how it feels when my blood sugar and insulin spikes, and I know certain telltale signs in my body (swelling from water retention for example), and I didn’t get any of that.

Ditto here. I really like Lakanto, but I have the previous formula before they added potato starch.
No fizzing here 2and bottle. Did you store in fridge once opened?
The recent reviews on Amazon ALL say it’s changed, they’ve had it before, and it’s disgusting now. Alcohol flavor was mentioned also. I’d steer clear of the new batches...🤷🏻♀️

Beth Mahoney Reread these comments... Sounds like somehow the potato starch started to ferment. That would explain the alcohol and the fizziness. Those are both byproducts of fermentation of potato. Vodka is made that way.
For all the Canadian ketos out there, I love the Steeves Maple syrup. It tastes just like the stuff my friends' dad used to make each spring. It's got the right texture for real maple syrup, too. It's more expensive, but the taste is worth it.
So far Choc Zero has been my favorite “keto” maple syrup.
Lately, I’ve been putting a handful of frozen blueberries in a ramekin and in the microwave, mushing them up a bit, and putting that on my pancakes/waffles.
A bit of butter makes it a bit richer, a great addition. As a kid I hated adding butter 🤷🏻♂️
I absolutely love Walden Farms maple syrup. Even people who have tried it really like it. So good!

I agree - hilarious - love these two when they do reviews
Thanks for the reviews! Never tried the syrup before by Lakanto but I use the Lakanto sugar substitute and it is the best! No after taste like any other sugar substitutes. 😋

I need to do more self experimentation to see if it’s the syrups themselves or what I’m eating with them, but sometimes I do get GI issues or unstable hunger consistent with being kicked out of keto. I’ve seen some people do blood tests with the Choc zero syrups and report no change in ketone or blood sugar levels, so who knows. I need to order more test strips and I might test myself. I’m fairly certain they are using liquid corn fiber which should not affect blood sugar at all. This is what the other choc zero products use and I can consume several servings of their chocolate with no issues. Lily’s chocolate on the other hand gives me horrific gas and bloating for hours, even a single serving. It’s the excessive amount of inulin in Lily’s that does this. So Choc Zero is my go to company for chocolate and chocolate chips now.
The Walden Farms syrup, despite being full of chemicals and sucralose, never cause me any GI or blood sugar issues and is also delicious. It’s also cheap in the grocery stores near me. They have a strawberry syrup that is really good too, but their maple is definitely my favorite.
Omg...I'm still dying from watching the end with Pyure...lol "Whoa!" And, If you want to squirt this on your pancakes from 10 feet away, you could do that with this bottle...lmao Funny!!
Lakanto keeps changing the recipe (for the worse) I believe there are 4 different different. We used the Lakanto religiously up till about 2 weeks ago when my kids opened a new bottle and it's like pure water. Taste is bad and kids didnt eat their waffles for the first time in history.
We have done the choc syrup before but noticed kids sneaking it. I know from experience that it was spiking their blood sugar. I have gotten a strawberry syrup from Amazon that my (Wäbry)family quite likes and remimds us of the IHOP strawberry but real. My son likes to make strawberry milk with it and Milkadamia. HOWEVER, we are needing to trim the budget a bit and "Keto" Syrups are quite pricey so thank you forthis video it really helped me decide how best to proceed.
Resistant maltodextrin is soluble corn fiber. That's what makes it thick in choczero. It's all so not digestible bc humans don't have enzymes to break it down. Good video.
Ok Steve, you did it again, laughed my butt off with your facial expression and comment at the end of part 2. I can’t believe you scooped that syrup off the table. LOL!!! Oh yeah, and it was another Great video!! Thanks for your hard work
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I hate to say this, because I really like supporting You-Tubers via the affiliate links they provide, but that price of $14.99 was $10 MORE expensive than the $4.99 of the Walden Farms website. (Everything on their website is $4.99) I purchased several items from them, eight to be exact, and the shipping was only $8.95 for all eight items. MUCH CHEAPER! Thanks for the info, and the effort from Serious Keto!
I only get 1% on food sales through Amazon, so if you can find a better price elsewhere, by all means go for it. My feelings won't be hurt in the least.
Sucralose is Splenda. It has a glycemic index of 0 so it should be perfectly safe. Another great video!
Mostly. Splenda is a brand. They also have allulose as a product. The little yellow packets are around 5% sucralose and 95% maltodextrin. I have some “uncut” sucralose and I believe the sweetness of 1/32 tsp equals one cup of sugar. A lot of people hate on it either because of the maltodextrin in Splenda or because a study showed that massive amounts of it damaged the gut biome of mice.
As far as the blueberry syrup goes, I just make my own by boiling organic frozen or fresh blueberries in a little water and adding Bocha Sweet. Can't beat it.
Walden farms syrup is my favorite and its calorie free and carb free.
Search youtube they have videos on how to dupe it at home
Liz Masi mine to. But I like a lot of Walden Farms things💕
I’m a fan of Pyrue. Although I’ve never seen the syrup. Good to see they are adding other items to choose from. Thanks for all the input of different syrups.
I love the Lakanto syrup its all I use, it is foamy but it does not have a bad taste to me.
Thank you for your input. I can now safely say that I will continue to make the homemade, it tastes good, it's inexpensive and less ingredients means less possible issues.
Penny Atherton share your recipe please??
My lakanto syrup is really good. I like the Walden Farms syrups too. I want to try the Log Cabin syrup. I call the candy cubes carmels, and the syrup caramel.
i have only heard of a couple of those. I have been getting Cary's from Walmart. A little thin but i like it.
Cary’s is my favorite
I LOVE the Choc Zero syrups. Right now they also have a Pumpkin Spice one that is seasonal that is delicious as well. We put these on Chaffles all the time!
Also Choc Zero do not spike our blood sugar or knock us out of Ketosis.
Good Morning! For low carb syrup at our house we just melt butter and stir in either Sugar free Toscani or Skinny Syrup salted Caramel syrup. It’s not a thick syrup but we really like the flavor.
I just got my first bottle of Skinny Syrup the other day (Mocha). I'll have to check into their other flavors. Thanks for the comment! 🙂
I don't care for it alone but use it in recipes and beverages. We love the pumpkin flavored in coffee for that fall flavor. I find it locally at Home Goods, TJMax (Iowa). Thanks for all you contribute to the Keto world.
I wonder if adding straight maple extract to it would improve the flavor of the choczero. It's already pretty sweet on its own, so adding maple flavored stevia would only make it sweeter.
Personally, Vermont Maid Syrup is my favorite both Sugar and Sugar Free versions. The Sugar version taste 99% like real Maple Syrup where as the Sugar Free version taste similar to Cary's Sugar Free Syrup; which is my second favorite Sugar Free Syrup
I'll have to check that out when I run out of my current supply.
I like to put skinny syrup with melted butter over my waffles. So good!
Love these father daughter videos!
Walden Farms blueberry on a standard chaffle. Nice dessert!
We also tested the ChocZero the way you both did, and have the same opinion, mild flavor. Then we tried it on a cornbread recipe my wife had. The carmel flavor was just right. It made the cornbread (which really wasn't very flavorful in corn) just awesome. The cornbread is someone else's recipe. Tried the ChocZero chocolate in her coffee, that didn't work. Maple is to light on pancakes, back to Log Cabin.
I have tried ChocZero before and the total carb on this product are crazy high. If you are a total carb person like me it's a no go!
Choc Zero is the bomb! Just a note, the taste intensifies, in my opinion, when you put it ON something-- I LOVE it on cloud bread, the flavors are much more present, not sure why! Try the maple pecan, I think it's almost better than the maple😉😁💖 I'm gonna try n make candied pecans with it😁
I've been told that the maple pecan is especially good.. 🙂
Thanks Steve for the reviews. Looks like I need to give Walden Farms a try before reordering the Smuckers.
Ruled.me has a homemade easy maple syrup recipe that's perfectly good! That's what I use rather than spending money on a sugar free syrup that has bad ingredients in it.
I looked it up, and it looks great - thanks!
Hi there. I use Carys sugar free syrup. Its really good.
I just saw for the first time that Birch Benders has developed 3 "Magic Maple" syrups. One of them (Mind Body) even has grass-fed collagen and MCT in it. The other two look pretty clean as well. I am really excited and pleased that so many companies are focusing on providing products tailored to the lifestyle!
I saw one of the "magic syrups" at WalMart yesterday and debated picking it up. If I didn't have a dozen bottle of syrup in my pantry right now (care of this video), I probably would have.🙂
@@SeriousKeto Walmart! How convenient could it get?! Forgive me for the bad memory, but I believe there was one or two that you really liked but were really runny. So, this makes me think about improving some of those "Okay but thin" by adding collagen and/or MCT to them. BB also adds xanthan gum. I still don't believe there is anything that can be done for the Lakanto, though...
You need to try Cary's Sugar-free Maple Syrup. It does taste like maple syrup and is very tasty without being watery. That's my choice, but Right now I use Liquid fiber and maple extract. Thick, zero carbs, and really good.
For the amount I use, and that is infrequent, I have no problem with sucralose. Walden Farms has been my favorite for a long time! :-)
Thanks for sharing. Also an extract can be made using food grade glycerine (it´s sweet), adding orange peel or berries, it could also be diluted with some alcohol to extend shelf life and soften the sweetness. That´s what we use for our chaffles.
glycerine is a sugar alcohol, doesn´t rise blood glucose
Thanks for the info!
Many have said Lakanto is not Keto anymore due to they have changed the formula and put potato starch in the maple syrup now.
I do "clean" so buy Pyure. When you are doing your great videos, like this, I appreciate you telling me what has the S word, so I won't buy. What annoys me is when someone is endorsing a product that has sucralose, but promotes being clean. not for myself because I know the difference, but it can confuse someone new to Keto. Now if a channel is saying they are lazy or dirty, I watch those too for recipes, I understand if they are using the wrong mayo.
My point, if a channel is promoting clean, they can confuse a new person. Later that person is not losing weight they don't understand why, I see this all over the net. Sorry if anyone offended you, love watching your videos, depend on your reviews.
KK7373 used to like it but if they have changed it im not buying
@@richardlueth9961 I read it on other groups. Go to their website and you can read the back of the ingredients, it has potato starch now when it did not a few months ago.
@@annettemuzquiz4810 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but us clean ketos need to stick together: Pyure is one of the worst offenders. Tapioca Fiber, the second ingredient, is a sugar. Its highly processed cassava root. its under review by the FDA right now and will likely soon come out as a sugar instead of being classified as a fiber. DO a search for Diabetic and Tapioca Fiber/fiberyum/cassava root/isomalt.... and see how many people have said for years they stay away from it because it spikes their blood sugar like crazy
Artbug..like I always say, u never stop learning. Here I thought I was doing the right thing. I'm vacationing right now so dont have the syrup in front of me, did they change the recipe, or am I just brain dead, don't ans thar..lol, but thank you for the heads up. I hardly ever use it and try to stay away from sugar substitutes. What syrup do you use?
1. ChocZero Maple - monk fruit 1 T 1 net carb. Thick. Not strongly maple but not bad. Caramel - tastes good, but like butterscotch. (Steve says it’s expensive!)
Chocolate-again, very thick. Tastes like chocolate frosting, tastes good.
2. Le canto combined with ChocZero - one reader recommended but they don’t like it.
Smuckers & Mrs. Butterworth least expensive. Log Cabin good and inexpensive but has questionable ingredients.
Retest on ChocZero maple - tastes vanilla and maple. Perhaps try watering it down and adding maple flavor stevia drops.
4. Walden farms - maple, good flavor. 1/4 c Zero total carbs. Sucralose. Steve really likes this one.
Blueberry- sharp, tangy flavor
5. Pyure- 27 g total carbs, 13 g fiber, 10 g erythritol, 4 g net carbs. Also stevia. Thin. Reminds Steve a lot of natural maple syrup.
My fav syrup so far is maple pecan by choc zero. I also like the chocolate. I haven’t tried Walden Farms due to the Sucralose. Thank you for testing these! 😊
Maple pecan is really good
You guys missed my favorite syrup of all-- Josephs! Not only great on anything, but great for baking too!
Your kids are excellent co-hosts! I appreciate the heads up on these items that I had decided I wouldn't try (really scarred by that Lakanto stuff!) and now I'll be a little more confident if I decide to do so thanks to your honest review!
Courtney definitely plays to the camera. As for the Lakanto, I'll probably get another bottle if we do a part 3 to this video. From what everyone is saying, it sounds like I got a bad bottle.
@@SeriousKeto Are they replacing it? I wouldn't buy it if not. I bought a 2-pack of it and merely tasted the first one and never touched it again - it's HORRIBLE! I do like their granulated and powdered products, though I find them super-sweet.
AlohaPrepper I love Lakanto sweeteners, but I cannot stand the syrup anymore. I now use Walden Farms.
His daughter is great on camera. They seem like a cool family.
My Lokanto experience was so so. The maple taste was good but it was thin. I did notice that it has a medicine like after taste but I was grateful to just have Keto syrup at all.
I feel the same here
My husband and I use the Mrs. Butterworth which we both like. Have never been able to try the Log Cabin...will have to give that a try!
The Choc Zero syrup is super thick, but if you heat it up in a small sauce pan, it'll thin down, i would think.
I have the lakanto syrup and like it ok. But its definitely not terrible. You should contact them and see if they will send you another bottle. That choc zero stuff is definitely delicious!! I mixed some of the caramel one with some butter and cook down for some pecan pie bars!! Yum!!
At my local Pick n Save(im in Wisconsin too!) The only choices I have are Carey's Sugar Free, Lakanto, and Walden Farms.
Walden Farms is an easy winner for me and is my go to Maple Syrup. I love their chocolate and caramel syrups as well. Have not tried any of their other products though.
choczero is mostly tapioca fiber labeled as "liquid vegetable fiber" so it's about as keto as high fructose corn syrup.
Walden Farms Pancake syrup is quite good and if I run out, Maple Grove syrup is pretty good and you can find that at Walmart. May try the log cabin one day though.
Thank you for buy items to make these videos. Really helpful
Nothing wrong with Sucralose. Walden's is the best I've tried hands down with the Smucker's a close second. Good review.
I personally don't have an issue with Sucralose, but some people seem to be pretty bothered that it gives mice an upset tummy.
We love the Choc Zero. We live in Canada so yes it's expensive, but considering how often we use it, we don't mind too much. I do add water to mine. And Steve, you pronounce caramel correctly if you live in Canada 😃, at least that's how I've always pronounced it.
Wisconsin is practically Canada -- at least that's what my friends from the Carolinas tell me. 😄
Serious Keto 😂
DO NOT ADD WATER !!!! I put the bottle in a cup of hot water when I make up my waffles.
The Choc Zero gets thinner when it's warmer. Chocolate is great warmed up to put on ice cream and it take a very little amount of the maple or flavored maples on the waffles. It's actually sweet and needs no sugar.
Hi Steve & Courtney! Thanks for another great video! It’s a bit pricey but have you tried KNOW Foods allulose-based pancake syrup? It’s my family’s favorite.
I am super wary with sucralose but I've learnt to test my tolerance to products with it in - if I'm OK I test hubby (diabetic). We are both fine with the Walden farms syrups and they are definitely the best ones we've found available in the UK. I have a few of them and the only one I'm not keen on is the caramel, but I've totally gone off caramel flavour since starting keto so it may be me. I always love taste testing videos and would rather see all the choices available - people can always make their individual choices depending how strict they are with their keto diet.
I think your Lakanto is a bad bottle. That foaming thing looks bad.
Yeah, we've ordered the Lakanto and it never foamed up or had the carbonated pffft sound when opening.
Favorite dirty syrup is Maple Grove Farms cheap at Walmart and you can get butter flavor or Maple flavor. 2 net carbs per 1/4 cup but VERY dirty ingredients. I actually preferred this to sugar syrup before I did keto. Now I just make my own.
To thicken up those thin syrups you've got, add 1/4 tsp xanthan gum per cup in a bullet style blender or put in a container with high sides and use immersion blender. Bullet works better though and it gets better with time or 30 seconds instead of 5 in the blender.
Courtney is so cute, lol!! Just enjoyed your review you two ;)
Walden Farms has changed their formula. I just finished my bottle that is in this video. I then opened my new bottle. Omg, the old one is so much being terms of taste and consistency!!
The lakanto we got tastes decent to us. We found that refrigerating it thickened it a little. You may have gotten a bad batch. As a matter of fact, I had to go taste mine after watching your 1st video 😆. Thankfully, I still like it but, I don't have any of the other ones you guys do to compare.
you 2 together is the best! keep it up please.
Never had a problem with lakanto's flavor (I think you got a bad bottle) my biggest problem with most of the keto syrups is they're all runny like water.
I think the lakanto you have may have started fermenting. I have purchased 6 bottles in the last 2 months and the stuff does bubble if shaken. The bubbles dont seem to pop much but when I tasted it I did not get a soda vibe like you did. I know the stuff is thin but to me had the best flavor for the ones I have tried. I do know everyone's taste is different though. For me I hate bitter stuff and havent noticed a bitter taste using stevia but tons of other people say it is bitter. Most of the people who say it taste bitter also like cilantro which I cannot stand. Maybe it has to do with genetics? Not sure but I do love your videos!
Careys is the BEST!! I do live in the south but you can find it on Amazon it's also reasonably cheap I as well fell victim to the monk fruit maple syrup ughh I used birch benders. .. it smelled amazing but when you taste it something is off it also leaves a aftertaste that you must drink water to get rid of
Next taste test, use a wooden utensil to get rid of any metallic taste that could interfere with any additional flavors ... Love your videos, please keep this up!
Those spoons were plastic. 🙂
Serious Keto Yes, more taste tests with your kids. It’s great getting a few opinions before trying new products.
We recently found and like a maple syrup by Birch Blenders that we quite like. It is a bit on the thin side and has a mild maple flavor. It has 1 net grams carbs and is sweetened with monkfruit only. There are no "suspect" ingredients nor any wood alcohols in the listing. Worth a try, I think, for anyone looking to not use sucralose. The label specifically calls out that it is Keto and Paleo. Not cheap but not astronomical either at Kroger. You can find it on Amazon, though it has a very bad rating there. Not sure why because the bottle we got sure doesn't taste like many reviewers on there say it does. Oh well, it is all subjective, right?
Rocky Wells Interesting. I saw a different syrup taste test and they didn’t like it. I’d probably try it once.
I wanted them to try the birchbenders one so badly... the ingredients are AMAZING for keto. So many of the ones he tried you couldn't pay me to put in my body :P
Lakanto changed the formula I had some a couple of years ago and was great didn’t have the tapioca and potato in it since changing the blend has become nasty.
I put my lakanto in the fridge.. I didnt care for it, soooo I went on a mission. I got the Vermont sugar free syrup. The best I have ever had! Didnt care for choc zero either.. I guess Im picky.
You gotta try fiber yum, mix some organic maple extract in it to taste... hands down the best tasting keto maple syrup, tastes amazing, my kids don’t even know the difference. Let me know what you think after you give it a go, thanks and god bless!
I really want to know where you got those spoons! I have an obsession with tiny flatware lol! Have you tried Sinfit syrup? I got it in a subscription box and LOVE it, it has a buttery maple flavor!
Got a bag of 30 of them at the dollar store. 🙂
I haven’t tried any of these but I have recently got a FiberYum syrup based on a recommendation by Dr. Berg and I’ve experimented with adding some maple extract and strawberry extract and I like it a lot I can’t believe it’s so unaddicting, I’m buying a bigger batch next time, maybe you want to get yourself some of that stuff and try it out 😉
i’m gonna try to mix some cocoa powder with it and see if it’s any good!
Thats a pretty old Berg video, and even on the video if you read the comments there are a bunch of people even that many years ago saying how bad that product is and that it raises their blood sugar. The FDA is reviewing it this year and it will likely not be categorized as a fiber anymore, but a sugar like high fructose corn syrup. Fiber Yum is no good
Thanks guys! You’re a great team!!!
The Lakanto that I have has was super liquid too, but didn't taste bad to me. So maybe Monk fruit is ok for me, but it does something to your taste buds? I've had two bottles of it, and it was ok. I've also had the Walden Farms syrup too.
Just saw this video and I really didn’t like Lakanto either. One I recently tried is So Nourished and it’s great!
Sometimes nitrogen is added just before capping to pressurize.
Your daughter looks exactly like Erin Murphy, the actress who played Tabitha on the original Bewitched TV show!!!!!!!!
THAT's who she looks like...lol, I kept thinking she looked like someone I had seen before.. I always thought she was such a cutie pie... and so is Courtney. ❤️️
Log Cabin is a 10/10 for flavor, even though it's pretty bad for you, your not drinking it by the quart. Walden Farms has a slightly less offensive ingredient list and is even lower in calories but the flavor is a 9.5/10. Those are my top two flavor wise i haven't tried the ChocZero though due to $$$. I think the Lakanto you guys got was bad cuz I don't remember it being terrible when I tried it a couple years ago.
Walden Farms products are the truth (not just their syrups, but their barbeque sauces and salad dressings too). If you like the Pancake Syrup, you ought to try the Maple Walnut. It's incredibly good.
I've heard that from a few people. 🙂
I love your reviews with your daughter. You guys do such a good job of these reviews.
We eat the Lakanto syrup. And it is not foamy at all.
Greetings really loving your video I am type 2 diabetic. I have a severe muscular disease due to a misdiagnosis approximately 40 years ago. I cannot take most prescribed medications without major problems. So I manage my diabetes with diet my last A12 was 5.2. My question is how do you guys think these choco brand syurps as a sweetener alternative would work in things like homemade soft serve ice cream etc?
I absolutely love the Walden Farms. I don't make a lot of pancakes, so I don't have it that often to be worried about the sucrolos.
I'm the same on a lot of these "dirty" keto sweeteners or syrups. I use them maybe once per month, so I might as well enjoy them. Besides, I looked at the Sucralose study on mice and I'd need to consume 40 packets of Splenda per day at my body weight to equal the dose they gave the mice.
My absolutely favorite sugar free syrup is by far Joseph's.... It is thick and delicious!!! Reminds me of Steens Syrup(sugar cane syrup) from Louisiana!!! I love that stuff... You need to try it....35 calories for 1/4 cup....does have maltitol.... I' m hooked😍.... Just try it🙆
We’ve tried several of the ones y’all tested, Walden Farms is our favorite
I bought Walden Farms yesterday and it’s pretty good. Much better tasting than Lakanto. I like warming it with butter mixed in.
Interesting results - I'm not a fan of Walden Farms syrup and don't find Lakanto all that objectionable. Haven't tried the ChocZero brand yet. I rarely use syrup anyway unless mixed into something else, so eating it straight from the container may change my perception.
I think you had a bad bottle of Lakanto. I use it and it’s not carbonated or alcoholish. Hmmm
The lakanto syrup I find is better cold like out of the fridge & shaken
I have the choc zero chocolate syrup (pouring it can be a challenge.They need to add a pour spout). I would try to add some additional maple flavor to the maple syrup, so I look forward to seeing your experimentation in the future. I also have the walden farms maple, it tastes good but wish it had a little bit more thickness, I think I added a sprinkle of Xanthan gum to a serving once. I did not know that Pyure had a syrup! Did you notice any cooling effect with that one?
You should try Cracker Barrel’s sugar free syrup it’s great. A little thin, but good
I put the blueberry syrup with vanilla ice cream or the occasional Greek yogurt. The Walden syrups are chemical garbage but if it's the only thing... The Pyure I hated but used it in cooking like sweet and sour or sauces that need honey like Asian sauces.
YB E They are chemical garbage, but they taste pretty good. I am fine using it once or twice a month.
@@TheRealRealOK exactly considering what we were eating before, I'll take this one instead!
I really love Choc zero products!!
