Crackers & Potatoes! zero to low carb for atkins diets and diabetics NOTICE: These products are no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Fiber Rich Bran Crispy Crackers These crispy bran crackers are crunchy, healthy, and keep you regular on the diet. 4gms per cracker. (TIP: Some people LOVE these plain. In fact, my whole family does, and most people we see at the Low Carb Yummies café like them plain too. They have a nice bran flavor, but they need salt, and something else on them, in my opinion. Of course, I love salt. I’m definitely in the minority, but to me they don’t come alive until you put something else on them (and some salt). Then they're even better. Great crispy crunch. I love them with cheese, butter, low-carb peanut butter, etc. I personally have about 5 a day, and along with the gourmet chocolates, it keeps me regular. I have 3 with butter or cheeses as a late snack, and sometimes I break them up and use them with a dip. If I have eggs, I sometimes have 1 with butter (and sometimes jam) instead of bread or a tortilla. Oh, I also add plenty of salt (which they need in my opinion). I keep it on hand by the case!) LOW CARB YUMMIES RATING: "Plain" 3 stars
LOW-CARBOHYDRATE Ketatoes is a mashed potato substitute that actually has real potatoes in it. Instant mashed potatoes aren’t as good as real old-fashioned made from scratch mashed potatoes, neither is this. In fact it isn’t quite as good as regular instant mashed potatoes – but considering that this is probably the biggest “no-no” on our diet, it’s fantastic. Now the instructions say you can make hash-browns, French-fries, etc. with this stuff, I wouldn’t recommend it. We tried the “French-fries” in our deep fryer, and frankly, they were awful (in our opinion at least). You can try it yourself if you like, and maybe you’ll like it, but don’t count on it. But of course, the mashed potatoes were very nice, and a great relief to my potatoes starved brain. (TIP: This may require some experimentation to get it the way you like it – i.e., method of cooking, amount of mix to use, etc.. Plus, we’ve really found that using lots of melted butter in it, gravy on it, with plentiful salt & pepper, makes it quite delicious and overcomes it’s weaknesses.)
