Truvia?

Have you tried Truvia sweetener yet?  It comes in a powder much like Splenda or Nutrasweet.  It claims to be all natural and no calories.  I just poured one into a water bottle and added a squish of lime.  It's different...I'll give it that.  Not sure about it yet.  May try it on some fruit later.  Just wonder if anyone else has tried it.  Wondering if I can bake with the stuff.  Maybe muffins?

I've tried it, and meh, it's okay.  Nothing special- I can definitely taste a stevia aftertaste.   I did try baking with it (mini protein muffins!), but I had to guestimate the amount of sweetener, and I could still taste the stevia aftertaste.  I like Sun Cystals a LOT better.   If you decide you like it, I'll give you what's left of my box of Truvia!

I tried Truvia in coffee w/creamer and it's not very good, it has an aftertaste that I don't like.

 I use Stevia from Trader Joe's and like that just fine - I think Truvia is made from the stevia plant as well, but I haven't tried it yet.

 Also agree with BigFun on the Sun Crystals - not bad at all.

I use it in my Greek yogurt but use other artificial sweeteners in everything else.

so wild, I actually like Stevia/Truvia have no issues with it, I prefer it over any of the other sweeteners.  I even get flavored stevia in a bottle with a dropper for coffee.
