Sweeteners?
I mix Whey low with Splenda and Xylitol or erythritol. I also use polydextrose with the splenda... for bulk it is a fiber that gives the texture and mouthfeel of sugar with no sweetness - you can even make caramel sauces wth this stuff!!. Whey low tastes perfect but it is still sugar so I want to be careful with it.
So 1 cup of sugar would be:
1/3 c splenda (cup for cup - melts to nothing when it gets wet)
1/3 c polydextrose (I add this to the xylitol when I powder it in my magic bullet to prevent clumping)
1/3 c Whey low
1/3 c xylitol or erythritol (I like to powder this sometimes because it dissolves better)
I like splenda in drinks but HATE it in baked goods - I have found this ratio to leave no gross aftertastes.
If i am measuring out an amount not easily divisble by 3... like 1/4 cup I will spoon in the sweeteners into the 1/4 measuring cup in thirds... so it looks about 1/3 of the equipment and then add it. It is not exact but it has worked well for me!
If you do not have whey low use maltitol or more xylitol.. I just bought some natural sugar called tagatose to try out too!
The polyd also helps to prevent recrystallization of erythritol and help negate the cool mouth feel it can have.
