Question:
Has anyone made Kool-aid with Splenda?

How much do you use for one of the standard little no-sugar packets? 1 cup? I am ready for a change from the few flavors of Crystal Light that I like, and Fruit2O is too expensive to drink constantly. Thanks    — Julia M. (posted on February 13, 2002)

I use Splenda in everything. From my liquid protein to my protein shakes to my decaf. coffee. It tastes great and would do fine in koolaid.

I do make kool-aid with Splenda, but I add it after the fact. I don't add until I pour a 16oz glass, then I add one (or two if the sweet tooth is out) packets to the glass. It dissolves much better than sugar, so this is easy. I also make popsicles with it. I use 1/2 cup Splenda in a half gallon of kool-aid.

I love the sugar free koolaid. It costs about the same as Crystal lite though and you get 4 packets. It is much better than Crystal LIte to me.

Just a $$$$ saving tip....At Sam's and Bj's a case of 24 Fruit2O is only $10. That equals out to about .41 cents each!

I too had to change from Crystal Light... I found that the sugar free koolaids (nutrasweet) that are already prepackaged are VERY good.. I also found sugar free Tang which is also VERY good!!!! As far as sweetening your own... I would just sample until you get an amount you like then write it down so you dont have to guess anymore!!!!! Good luck!

I use Splenda for Kool-Aid all the time. Try 13-16 packets depending on how sweet you like it. Its wonderful!!! Good luck!

I used it regularly in my early post-op days. I still use it in tea, kool-aid, and coffee nearly two years post-op. My kids can't tell the difference in the kool-aid.

I buy the bulk Splenda and it says to use equal amounts as sugar. So if you usually use 1 cup of sugar, use 1 cup of Splenda.
