Without the Earth, we’d have no place to live. That’s why we should never take it for granted. So when it comes to Mother Nature, mindfulness is always important. This is something not only I believe in but the company NutraSweet holds to as well. This is why I wanted to try out and review their NutraSweet eco-friendly sweetener.
About NutraSweet
According to the website, NutraSweet products are created through cultivation which leads to serious depletion of our natural resources. They recognized that nature is not infinite. This principle became their inspiration to develop NutraSweet Natural™.
NutraSweet Natural is a sweetener that is made in a sustainable process. It is kosher, gluten-free, and has a low glycemic index for individuals who suffer from diabetes. It is made from two simple ingredients, Stevia leaf, and Erythritol to balance the sweetness. Only one pack of NutraSweet Natural is equal to two teaspoons of sugar. This is perfect for your daily coffee or tea.
The Lex Paige Reaction
In my review, I received two NutraSweet Natural sweeteners (140 packets) a NutraSweet Travel Mug, and a NutraSweet promotional fleece blanket. Let me just start by saying, this was all such a sweet gift! (Literally) For someone who lives off of coffee and is obsessed with candy, I need to start seriously watching my sugar intake. This sweetener delivers a sugar-like taste with no bitter aftertaste which I enjoyed. (My sweet tooth also approves) I added two teaspoons to my morning coffee and to be honest, I couldn’t taste the difference. To test NutraSweet even further, I used the hot chocolate recipe card included in my package. (All photos taken below are from Megan Yost Photography)
The recipe included the following:
- 3 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- NutraSweet Natural sweeteners (4 packets)
- 3/4 cup of milk
- A hand full of marshmallows
Instructions
- The first step is to mix the cocoa powder, and sweeteners in a small saucepan. You then add your milk and whisk together until blended evenly.
- Next, you cook your mixture over medium heat. Make sure to stir to prevent any scorching.
- In the final step, serve in mugs and top with your marshmallows!
My hot cocoa was very yummy, to say the least. If you are looking to support your healthy lifestyle (which I recommend you do) then using Nutrasweet Natural to substitute sugar is a good idea. NutraSweet is also a fabulous way to enjoy the taste of sugar guilt-free, which is something I feel everyone would love. I highly recommend trying this sugar out and replacing it with anything you use normal sugar in. Your body will thank you! You can currently purchase a pack of NutraSweet Natural Sweeteners here for only $5.50. You can also purchase on Amazon.
With Love,
