Truvia

[LoriPA 4]

Has anyone tried this? I found it a far better sweetener than Splenda and I only need to use half a packet to get the same desired amount of sweetness I like as a whole packet of Splenda.

Truvia is made with rebiana, a part of the stevia plant, so it's a natural sweetener. I found a box of 80 packets at Wal-Mart for around $7. I love it!

i have seen it at the store but i was to scared to try something new. I use equal but looking for something with no asparetame. n splenda is too week for me n i dont like the after taste. but i might have to try truiva now.

I have used Stevia for years, you can buy it at the health food store or at Whole Foods, way cheaper than the Truvia brand. Just look for Stevia.....It's much healther, all natural no chemicals.

I've just started using Stevia. Purchased a box of 200 packets at Sam's Club for about $10. I find it to be sweeter than Truvia and no after taste. Also Aspartame and Splenda play heck with my bladder giving me spasms while Stevia does not.

Do you know if Sams Club is the only place that sells Stevia? Because I love sweetened tea but can't drink it because of the no sugar rule and because I HATE splenda! It has the worst aftertaste. So I would love to try the Stevia, but I'm not even sure if we have a Sams Club here haha. So any ideas where else they might sell it?

I have bladder problems too so I wish they would start putting it in things. So many things have aspertame and that stuff is poison for me and splenda gives me gas!

I know that you can buy Stevia in natural food stores and I would think you could buy in on line. I did find this morning that it is terrible in cottage cheese. I was raised to eat sugar on cottage cheese and don't really like it any other way so I tried putting stevia on it for Breakfast. DON"T!!!!! It made the cottage cheese so bitter that I couldn't eat it. I've only ever tried it in my tea until now so I don't know if it would react in any other foods that way. I'm now almost afraid to try.

ive just started using stevia... its great in coffee, but its really tricky with other things.. I find it hard to get the right amount of sweetness without making things too sweet since a little goes a LONG way... still playing around with it.

I purchased mine at trader Joes.
