How many drops of flavour drops do you use?
Usually 1 to 5 drops per serving. Start with 2 or 3 drops and taste, as the flavour is concentrated. For a large bowl of quark or a pot of oatmeal, you can use a little more.

Vanilla Flavour Drops by OstroVit
Fat-free quark, oatmeal, or a plain protein shake is great for your macros, but not always a treat for your taste buds. With these flavour drops from OstroVit, you can add a sweet vanilla flavour in just a few seconds. Squeeze a few drops from the bottle, stir, and taste. Per 100 ml, they contain 0 kcal, 0 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of fat.
What is in these flavour drops
The ingredients list is short: propylene glycol, water, flavourings, and sucralose. Propylene glycol is a clear, slightly viscous liquid that serves as a carrier. It ensures that the vanilla flavourings dissolve well and mix evenly through your food. Sucralose is a sweetener that is approximately six hundred times sweeter than sugar. That is why you only need a tiny amount: one drop is sweet enough for a large spoonful of quark. Your body does not derive energy from sucralose, and because the quantities are so small, the drops practically do not count in your food diary. The bottle contains 30 ml. That may sound like a small amount, but just do the math: one millilitre is approximately twenty drops. With three drops per serving, you can use a bottle around two hundred times. Why vanilla in particular? It is the flavour that pairs well with almost everything. It makes dairy smoother, takes the edge off coffee, and gives a chocolate shake more depth. Vanilla is therefore often the first flavour people buy before they start experimenting with other varieties.
How to use flavour drops
Many people wonder what you can add flavour drops to. In short: almost anything. Vanilla pairs well with quark, skyr, and Greek yoghurt, oatmeal or overnight oats, coffee, cappuccino, and tea, and a plain or chocolate-flavoured protein shake. It also works in pancake batter, a high-protein cheesecake, or homemade protein bars. Start with one to five drops and taste as you go. You can always add more, but not less. Shake the bottle well first so that the flavour is evenly distributed. Good to know: the drops are concentrated. Never drink them plain, but always mix them into food or drinks. In a glass of plain water, vanilla is usually less appealing to most people than in something creamy.
Flavour drops compared to other sweeteners
The difference compared to a teaspoon of sugar or honey lies in the calories: sugar provides around 20 kcal per teaspoon, while these drops provide almost none. Compared to stevia, flavour drops have the advantage of adding sweetness and flavour at the same time. With stevia, you make something sweet; with these drops, you make it vanilla. And compared to a vanilla bean or vanilla extract, you save a lot of money, although the flavour is different from real vanilla from the pod. This is how you add flavour to food and drinks without added sugar.
A small bottle that lasts a long time and fits in any kitchen drawer or sports bag. Take it to work for your quark at lunchtime, or keep it next to the coffee machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are flavour drops really calorie-free?
The label states 0 kcal per 100 ml. The sweetener sucralose provides no energy, and the amount of propylene glycol per drop is negligible. So you don't need to include them in your food diary.
What can you add flavor drops to?
Almost anything: quark, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee, tea, protein shakes, pancake batter, and homemade bars. Vanilla works especially well in creamy dishes. Pure in water, the taste disappoints many people.
Is propylene glycol safe?
Yes, propylene glycol is permitted in foods in the EU as a carrier for flavorings. It is also found in many other flavorings and aromatic extracts. In the amounts you consume with a few drops, it is nothing to worry about.
How can a drop be so sweet?
Because of the sucralose. That sweetener is about six hundred times sweeter than sugar, so a tiny amount provides a lot of sweetness. Your taste receptors react to it just as they do to sugar, but your body gets no energy from it.
What is the difference between flavour drops and vanilla extract?
Vanilla extract contains no sweetener and is made from real vanilla beans, making it more expensive. Flavour drops combine flavouring with sweetener, so you sweeten and flavour your food in one go. For everyday use in quark or coffee, drops are more practical.
