YT 2000 Club Member | Truvia, calorie free sweetener It also say's that it is suitable for people with diabetes. I was wondering if anyone has tried this product. My husband picked up a box of 40 packets at Kroger the other day, I had changed my diet and stopped adding sugar to my food so he was happy to find this product for me to try. I had a packet in my hot tea this morning, I was pleasantly surprised that I did not have a strange after taste after drinking it, like I get with other sugar substitutes.

| I haven't heard of it. We use Stevia. I carry tons of these packets in my purse so when we eat out and have iced tea we have our own sweetner. It's 100% Natural. Calorie Free, sugar free and doesn't contain soy, wheat, yeast, milk or artificial ingredients of any kind. Natural herb, saccharin- free, aspartame-free and no after taste. We get it at Trader Joe's.

| I use Green Leaf stevia but I will be on the lookout for Truvia- I'd never heard of it. Does it desolve easily? Thanks for posting it!

| Hey Brandy, I've been meaning to bump this thread up to thank you for the great recommendation. I have totally replaced my Sweet Leaf with Truvia and I like it a lot better. I love the texture- it's exactly like sugar and it tastes really good too.

| I just saw a commercial on this stuff the other day. I heard mention of it before, but until I saw the commercial I was like, "oh yeah, I want to try that".

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I LOVE Stevia and have used it for a few years now. I use the Stevita brand and I get 16oz jars from here: Omni Supplements - quality vitamins, nutritional supplements and natural health products For those unfamiliar w/ Stevia: *Stevia Rebaudiana is an herb in the Chrysanthemum family *It doesn't alter blood sugar *It is 200-300x sweeter than table sugar *Doesn't damage teeth (like sugar) *No calories

| I haven't used it in a cold beverage. I do use it to sweeten pitchers of iced tea but I add it to the tea befor it's chilled. I don't know what brand you're using but the Sweet Leaf brand was really powdery and it was kind of a pain if you were trying to pour sereral packets a once. The Truvia is very granular like sugar is so it pours reall easily. The texture makes me think it would desolve like sugar in cold drinks but I don't know. It seriously tastes just like sugar to me.

I have not had any problems with it in cold drinks. I take a zip lock baggie of packets with me when I go out to eat because I alway's get Iced tea, and it dissolves just fine in all that ice they put in it.
