| I love this product! I freeze leftover coffee in an ice cube tray then use the cubes to replace the ice called for. It tastes just like a coffee "blast" we used to get at Baskin Robbins - only LC. Highly recommended!! |

| Simply delicious, even if you don't love coffee. You can swear it was made in a coffee house. I plan to use this product, even after I finish my low carb diet. Be sure to order the individual packs, since the price for the can and the individual packs is basically the same and they are portable. |

| My husband is a diabetic. He takes no meds, but adheres strictly to diet and exercise. The one treat he missed was milk shakes, until we tried the Big Train mixes. They are superb and allow him to once again experience a treat very close to the real thing. By finely blending ice, adding a quarter cup of cream, a quarter cup of sugar free davinci flavoring, a quarter cup of calorie countdown dairy beverage and a quarter cup of water, and the latte mix, and reblending, he can have any flavor of ice cream soda he wants without effecting his blood sugar. Netrition is the best low carb site anywhere! |

| One of the hardest things about going low carb was giving up my daily Starbucks frappacinos. Big Train gave mocha drinks (and vanilla and caramel ones) back to me in such a way that I don't think I could go back to the Starbucks. It actually tastes better than the full carb coffee drinks I used to have. Thanks Big Train & Netrition! |

| Excellent but be careful if on induction. Says 2 carbs for 16 ounce serving,but the box small packets contain 2 servings per packet , they are not individual packets. So they say 2 net carbs for an 8 ounce serving, or 4 per packet. It's great product, remember to read labels |

| The Mocha is the best treat ever! I especially like it is maid with erythritol - by far the preferred sugar alcohol for low glycemic reaction and low laxative effect. My wife and I used to pay close to $4 each for these at a coffee shop and they were worth it! Very, very tasty and very carb friendly. |

July 24, 2007 Reviewer: Charles in Japan |
| When I started Atkins, one thing that worried me was my love of Starbucks. Being used to daily Frappucinos and Macchiatos, I didn't know if I would be able to stick with any diet that didn't allow those. The Big Train Caramel Latte mix, amazingly, provided me not with a substitution for Frappucinos, but a REPLACEMENT. The flavor is, in my opinion, BETTER. and at less than $1 per 16 oz. drink, the price can't be beat |

| I LOVE this! I would go to a local coffee shop a few years back and order this! Before I found it on here, I paid $4.50 PER drink! So did not have them often! This is a great cool refreshing drink~ Does not make you think you are having anything diet! Not being deprived on flavor and taste here! Texture is wonderful! No one would ever know its sugar free! unless you tell them!!! I highly recommend this to all! |

May 03, 2013 Reviewer: Jan in Ohio |
| This is one of the very best Low Carb products available. Included instructions make a very good product, however you can vary the taste by adding SF syrups. I use regular coffee or water. Using half & half makes a most delicious drink, but the added calories aren't worth it. I also mix half of this mix with half Designer Whey Chocolate mix to make a more protein meal substitute. Try adding hazelnut and caramel SF syrup for a 'snickers' type drink. Or, add the powdered peanut butter for a 'reeses' type drink. The combos are limitless. Coconut and Hazelnut make a 'chocolate toasted coconut' drink. The chocolate mocha is my most favorite mix, but wouldn't turn down the vanilla either and the combos I can make with it. Enjoy! |

| I'm so glad I found this! While I won't say it's better than Starbucks, it's at least as good. Try it with Hood's Calorie Counters chocolate milk instead of half and half :) |

December 24, 2012 Reviewer: MARIE in California |
| Wasn't really sure that I would like all of these, but I loved all 3. What is nice instead of using 4oz skim milk that has more carbs. I used unsweetened coconut milk, almond unsweetened vanilla milk and half and half. Half and half has too many carbs for 4oz, so I watered it down more than the 4oz that it called for. With all of the variety of sugar free syrups, I got a huge variety of flavors by mixing it up. Some of the flavors were bland but most of the flavors I tried were so good. The ones that were too bland I added some of the different flavors of extract that I had bought from somewhere else. With the syrups they were very delicious. I have a mixer blender and it crushes up the ice perfectly.There is no aftertaste either. I tried other shakes on other diets and never did like any of them. These keep me away from those fast food and coffee houses. Netrition delivers fast and everything was packed perfectly. |

| Love, Love, Love this product... what a great mix for those sweet craving moments. Super easy to make, even great if you're in a rush and just use it over ice instead of a blender.
This is a staple in my house... I think it even tastes better than the store versions...no nasty aftertaste at all. Well Done !! |

July 27, 2012 Reviewer: Donna in Florida |
| This Big Train drink mix has been my "go to" low carb, low calorie drink mix for quite some time and I have yet to find anything that is as tasty and filling as this. It seems that no matter where I am in my never ending quest to reach my perfect weight Big Train holds prime real estate in my pantry. My favorite is to toss the mix in a hand blender with some water and ice, grind away and go. It can be served warm on a cool evening and if I add a few nuts or small snack it can be a meal replacement. Alone it is a great snack. Ice Mocha is my favorite but I have mixed it with the other flavors and I like them all. I buy the big canister but if you are a newbie get a box of each and see how you fare......you may create a perfect drink of your own. If you use low fat low cal whipped cream you can really impress all your friends with your great "diet" drink! Don't delay because you are missing out on a great product! |

June 02, 2012 Reviewer: A customer in Idaho |
| One word sums up these icy drinks...YUM!!! I ordered the Ice Mocha and the Ice Vanilla Latte in the 5 pack box to try them out. LOVED BOTH, but my favorite is the Mocha by far! My son and I treat ourselves to these at least a couple times a week! He is not on any type of reduced/low carb regime, but says that they taste just as good as anything he has purchased from the coffee places. VERY refreshing and satisfies the sweet tooth quite well! I would love to try the Caramel Latte out, but unfortunately, Netrition doesn't offer this flavor in the 5 pk box :( |

| I have used this mix for several years to make my "morning drink". It tastes just like a regular frappe-type mocha; no aftertaste at all. Directions are to use 4 oz half-and-half and 4 oz water. I use 5 oz FAT FREE half-and-half and 3 oz water. I drink this EVERY morning and still feel like it is an indulgent treat. I think Big Train is not making this any more, so get it while you can! |

| I have tried all 3 flavors offered in Low Carb Latte mixes and find myself craving them on a daily basis for my(non-sweet) desire of a sweet treat taste that I loved before I worried about what I put into my body! They have a GREAT taste. I love mine very thick with fat-free whipped topping and also drizzled with (another great product) Walden Farms(sugar-free)Caramel Syrup! It looks and tastes just like those expensive frozen coffee drinks but with MUCH less calories and NO GUILT! I find this a MUST have to my day and I hope you will too! Enjoy! |

| Very large serving at 12 OZ. I use heavy cream instead of half and half. Rich tasting and satisfying! Filled a large glass up to the brim. Right away I thought it tasted like a flavored shake from McDonalds but not as thick. Next time I plan on adding more ice to make it thicker. You wont be disappointed and its worth every penny! Wish I had ordered more than 1 box. |

December 04, 2009 Reviewer: Jennifer in Florida |
| This is a truly delicious addition to a low carb diet! I won't say "better than Starbucks" but it does come close. Be advised that the 2 net carbs advertised does not account for the 4 oz of half and half that is needed to make the drink. It's actually 6 net carbs. I'm experimenting with a "lower carb and lower calorie" diet to add variety and still take advantage of the carb reduction, so I used 2% milk instead of the half and half. If you make it with half and half as directed, it's 250 calories and six net carbs. If you make it with 2% it's 155 calories and eight net carbs. It's probably richer with the half and half, but I'll take the nearly 100 calorie savings of 2% - it's still delicious! I took the advice of other reviewers and used leftover coffee instead of water - love that extra coffee blast. I highly recommend it. |

August 26, 2009 Reviewer: Laurie in New York |
| This drink mix is very easy to use and makes for a delicious drink! Because I'm on the South Beach Diet and watch what kinds of fat I use, I make this with 2% milk instead of 1/2 n' 1/2 and skim milk instead of water. It makes for a low fat, delicious drink with a decent amount of protein. Just the thing on a hot summer day! By the way, I've found that one packet of this, when made as directed, makes more than enough for two people (at least 30oz, if not more). It's supposed to make 16oz, but even with only 10oz of ice (12oz is called for), it makes a very large amount. So you get much more for your money than you'd expect. Enjoy! |

The favs are the Vanilla Latte and the Caramel Latte (if you can find it!). These can be made as directed, or sometimes I use coffee instead of plain water. For an extra treat, low carb vanilla ice cream can be added in place of the cream/half-n-half.... Mmmmmmm. |

| I order this item repeatedly. Great for diabetic low-carb diet. It does contain some caffeine, so I only make this before noon or I can't sleep. Instead of milk, I use unsweetened chocolate Almond Breeze (45 calories for 1 cup). It makes the chocolate flavor richer & no fat. I also add 1/2 C. of decaf espresso when I can get it & squirt reduced cal chocolate syrup in the bottom. Top with sugar free whip cream and a squiggle of chocolate - fantastic flavor - thick and satisfying! Makes a whopping 24 oz glass! Similar to Starbuck's Frappicino. |
