Chocolate Mini Meringues

[Hayley_UK_1981]

hey all....

is it possible i have found a sweet thats ok to eat??

Ingredients:
egg whites, isomalt, dried egg whites, alkalized defatted cocoa powder, inulin (vegetable fibre), tartaric acid, sucralose.

0 net carbs (total carbs 8g less; fiber 2g, and isomalt 6g)


the only thing i cant seem to find out is how much sucralose/splenda is in a serving.... it says sugars 0 and sugar alcohol 6g.

I would be careful eating sugar alcohols because they can cause horrible gastrointestinal distress.

PS - I hope I didn't tell you this too late.

If it's a UK product, then fiber isn't subtracted, since it's not considered a carbohydrate. These things can't be 0 carbs.

I wouldn't have these on Induction since they 1) contain ingredients not allowed on Induction and 2) you shouldn't be having sweets on Induction!

We are allowed 3 servings of sweetener per day on induction. The isomalt ingredient concerns me though...

Personally I would avoid the cookies simply because I'm a sweets addict and have absolutely no control when it comes to such things. I'd wind up eating the whole box then suffer all night from gas and diarrhea from the sugar alcohols. That's just no fun at all.

I think if you try some of Linda's recipes for induction-friendly meringues you might like them...
