Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review
I have a confession to make, I have been addicted to the same sugar substitute for years- Splenda! I have tried other brands and everything else seems to have an aftertaste that I can't stand. I am a sugar substitute snob! I have never liked another sweetener and it is a hard task to even get me to try another sweetener. So, when I saw a sample box of Truvia in my Influenster box I'm pretty sure I actually rolled my eyes. However, I decided to put aside any preconceived notions I may have had about any sweetener that is not my beloved and give it a try. According to the Truvia website, one packet of Truvia is equal to two teaspoons of sugar. I love my coffee very sweet and I usually use three packets of Splenda in my morning coffee so I did the same for the Truvia. In retrospect it was a little too sweet so the next time I tried it I used two packets. However, I must say that I was presently surprised. I actually LOVED the Truvia and felt it actually tasted more like real sugar than Splenda. In fact, I never noticed that Spelnda had an aftertaste until I tried Truvia. I can honestly say that I have been officially hooked on this product! My husband loves it too! In fact, when we went grocery shopping this weekend we actually bought a box.
Here's the lowdown:
My Initial Impression: I was hesitant to try. I did notice however that the product inside the packets looks more like sugar, a little more grainy, than other sweeteners.
Pros: Tastes great, you need less product to get the same sweetness as other sweeteners, it's natural!
Cons: I honestly really couldn't find any flaws. The price seemed to be comparable to other sweeteners, at least in the store we shop at.
Final Impression: I am officially hooked! I will be using this product from now on. I still use Splenda when I am out because I have noticed that not a lot of places actually offer it.
Thanks for reading and please stop by again shortly as I will be reviewing the remaining products that I received in my Vox Box.
