I'm always seeking for a sweetener that is fairly good for you, with minimal side effects, and has fewer calories than sugar. Until now I have been a believer in Splenda (which I still use on occasion because it is so readily available wherever you go). My roommate recently brought home Truvia. Since I am always willing to try new things and experiment, I gave it a go and sprinkled some onto a grapefruit half. To my pleasant surprise, it was DELICIOUSLY sweet! It actually tasted like sugar and didn't leave a strange after-taste like most artificial sweeteners. I will now be using it on/in everything! It is perfect for bland, barley tasting cereals and also to put in tea or coffee.
Truvia is made from the Stevia plant, so it is all-natural. Apparently, it has been used medicinally for centuries by indigenous people! I'm so grateful that it is now put into a form that today's consumers can utilize!
