crystal light vs. truvia? which is better?

So I am not really a fan of crystal light no matter what flavor....just has an aftertaste so to speak.  I LOVE my sweet tea however that I used to make with about 2 cups of sugar.  After my lapband my surgeon suggested I switch to Truvia.....so I did...in my coffee but I never tried it with my beloved sweet tea......that always had to have real pure cane sugar.......so my question now is.....are truvia and whatever the crystal light is sweetened with the same?  Cuz maybe I would like my sweet tea (with truvia) better than the after taste I am getting from all the crystal light?

thanks,

Crystal Lite is usually sweetened with something like Equal and Truvia is processed stevia plant. I like Truvia pretty well but can taste a little aftertaste. Have you tried Splenda or perhaps a sugar free syrup like Monin, Torani or DaVinci?

Just saw your last sentence...What I like is water with fresh squeezed lime juice sweetened to taste with Splenda.

Easy on the stomach. Might help you to get your fluids in.

 Kristi,
I'm not crazy about the Crystal light flavored with Aspartame.  There is a new one coming out i think (or maybe already out)  made with Truvia. I don't know anything about that one.  
What I do know is I love my Sugar free Sweet Tea (Walmart) It's made with sucralose (Splenda) I often make my own at home with Splenda and love it!  
Good luck in finding something you love to drink drink drink.  It's hard at first, especially this time of year when it's cool.

 Thanks ladies, I'll b heading to Walmart tomorrow!!

 I have learned that aspartame (what is in Crystal Light) and Truvia, which has sugar alcohols in it, are not my friends.  They both cause me gut trouble and horrible smelling gas!  So, both are out for me.  The only sweetner that does not bother me is Sweet and Low,  old fashioned saccharine...  You will have to see what works and does not work for you.
