Yesterday I had a pina colada for breakfast and french toast for lunch.
Thanks to Capella Flavor Drops I can change up the flavor of my beloved protein shakes, oat meal, coffee, tea, egg whites, Greek yogurt, you name it, without adding calories. Capella Flavor Drops are a highly concentrated, water soluble, flavoring, they are not only free of calories, but free of sugars and sweeteners, too. Besides, who needs sweetener when you’re sweet enough already?
I turned my morning vanilla protein shake into a (virgin) pina colada just by adding 6 flavor drops. And, I turned my egg whites into mock french toast by whipping together 1 cup egg whites, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of stevia, and french toast drops together then baking it up omelette-style.
Have you ever tried Capella Flavor Drops? If you haven’t you need to visit their site and check out all of their ahh-mazing flavors. And, if you haven’t tried them in a while, you need to go back because they’ve added a new line up. I know my friend Carrie cannot wait to drop it like it’s hot and try the Hot Cinnamon Candy!
Now I really must make go make a crumb cake, if you’re in the neighborhood please drop by, I’ll be the one singing aCapella.

January 22nd 2010I LOVE capella drops!! Been using them for about 2 years. I love the french toast flavor, too!

January 22nd 2010I’ve never heard of those! I’m thinking the Banana Split flavor would be AWESOME in yogurt!
amanda says:
January 22nd 2010I have never heard of these and they sound great. I have been into trying greek yogurt lately which can be very bland. This would totally help spice it up!!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says:
January 22nd 2010Ooh, I’ve never heard of these! I’d love to give them a try! Are they artificially sweetened?
The Candid RD says:
January 22nd 2010Oh how fun! I’ve never tried these (you always have the neatest products on your blog). I used to buy little flavors to add to my lattes, but not this brand, and the flavor selection wasn’t so amazing. Pina colada?! crazy. I may even add it to my oats….I bet they have a peanut butter flavor! Thanks for the link.

BK says:
January 22nd 2010Never heard of these.. I may have to give them a try..
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says:
January 22nd 2010This is totally new to me, so thanks! I bet some of these would be great in hot chocolate. You always have such great ideas!
Nancy says:
January 22nd 2010Hey, thanks for the info. I’ve been reading your blog for a while (I don’t have one!), and saw this today. I just went to the site and ordered over $65 of stuff! DAMN! HaHa. I see that they also have drops to flavor water, so I had to pick up a few of those, too. I used LorAnn’s that I get from Netrition.com. They’re OK, but they don’t have all of these great flavors. Can’t wait to get the order and try these out. Thanks!!!! – Nancy
Heather @ Side of Sneakers says:
January 22nd 2010Oh I love the idea of flavor drops—I have so many ideas brewing in my head!
Joanna Sutter says:
January 22nd 2010Nancy….I’m sorry that my blog is costing you money! LOL! But I’m thrilled that you are going to try Capella. I did the same thing on my first order….I was like a kid in a candy store! Let me know how you like them! ;-)
april says:
January 22nd 2010Those sound so good! I add flavors to everything.. I bet it’d be delicious in cottage cheese! Is it a stevia based sweetener? Oh, and I was going to ask you- how many calories does your trainer have you eating a day?
Joanna Sutter says:
January 22nd 2010Hi April! Great idea on the cottage cheese! My trainer does not have me counting calories. I focus on food quality and timing instead. Ping me if you have any questions!
april says:
January 22nd 2010What does ping mean?? haha! I think that’s great that your not counting calories.. I even wonder if I should be eating more! Do you eat when your not hungry as well? And how much protein are you getting a day?
Joanna Sutter says:
January 22nd 2010Ping, lol, means slap me upside the head here in the comments, on your blog, on Facebook, on Twitter, email, Fast Track…you name it! ;-) But since we’re here…
If I’m hungry between the 5-6 small meals I’m eating a day, I will add more veggies or a shot of protein (like half scoop protein shake, some egg whites, a hard boiled egg for example). I typically average between 20-30 grams of protein per meal. And 2 or 3 servings of Capella Flavor Drops for good measure! ;-)
april says:
January 22nd 2010Have you noticed your hungrier with heavy weight lifting? I lifted heavy today and I can’t seem to be satisfied!
Jody - Fit at 52 says:
January 22nd 2010Joanna.. holy you know what!!!! I am salivating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to see if they sell theses in the stores anywhere. Have not clicked on the site yet. Being “poor”, I don’t want to end up like Nancy & spending money I don’t have! :-) I have not heard of these.. THX!
JC says:
January 22nd 2010Jody – There are always specials going on. And you can just buy a couple that won’t break the bank. ;)
Nancy says:
January 22nd 2010They actually do have a deal going on right now. You get 20% off your order – can you imagine if I didn’t have that discount?!?! ha ha.
Oh, and I just saw April’s comment about being hungrier on heavy lifting days. I can attest to that! On leg days, I swear that I can’t get home fast enough, so that I can eat. I’m lucky that my gym is only 15 minutes away from my house. :-) In fact, my leg day is tomorrow, and I already have yogurt, butternut squash, and almond butter ready to get stuffed in my face.
Diane Fit to the Finish says:
January 22nd 2010Can you add them to coffee? Even if you can’t – they sound really great!
Joanna Sutter says:
January 22nd 2010April and Nancy, I think hunger is a sign of a good workout! Or it could just mean your hungry ;-). Right now I’m carb-cycling so on my higher carb days, I’m certainly making sure I’m working hard in the gym so I earn those carbs. But to answer your question, April, I do find I go from zero to starving within 20 minutes after a heavy-lifting day so I make sure I have food ready to go or I can get off track in a flash.
Jody, JC is right! These flavors are affordable…and you don’t have to stuff your shopping cart quite as full as Nancy and I did on our first visits.
Diane, Yes! Capella Flavor Drops are fabulous in coffee and teas, too.
Tracy says:
January 22nd 2010I am forever indebted to you!!! I used to have about every flavor of the sugar-free Davinci syrups displayed proudly on a wine rack. However, when I gave up artificial sweetners, they were the first to go. Thank you soo so much! Finally a replacement besides vanilla stevia and True Lemon and Lime! I just shopped til I dropped!
Jess (Fit Chick in the City) says:
January 23rd 2010What fantastic flavors! I’m on my way over for the coffee cake. I’ll bring the coffee. =) Have a great weekend!
Andrea@WellnessNotes says:
January 23rd 2010Oh, I want to add some to my coffee right now!!! :)
ashley says:
January 23rd 2010I’ve never tried these flavor drops, but they look like they’d be wonderful – so many uses! And thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on the Larabars :-). I tend to eat them fairly slowly too because they really are a sweet treat. And I’ll keep in mind that you’re in Omaha in case I’m ever in that neck of the woods ;-).
Rachel says:
January 23rd 2010Have to buy these immediately.
Kelly Olexa says:
January 24th 2010These sound amazing girl. I have to try it!!
