Truvía® natural sweetener is the first natural, great-tasting, zero-calorie sweetener born from the leaves of the stevia plant. Truvia is refreshingly uncomplicated. Sprinkle it on your grapefruit. Spoon it in your coffee. It won’t end up on your conscience or your thighs.

Included in my Influenster Love Voxbox were samples of the natural sweetener Truvia. Check out Truvia’s website for more information on natural sweetener!

Truvia natural sweetener is made from Truvia stevia leaf extract, the best tasting part of the stevia leaf, erythritol and natural flavors. Learn more about Truvia from their FAQ page. When learning about Truvia, the main question on my mind is, is it healthy? Well, I don’t know and I can’t answer that question. But there is plenty of information on the internet asking the same question. Two that stood out to me were Mark’s Daily Apple and Food Renegade‘s article and is definitely an interesting unbiased opinion.

Evil kitty Bella was curious what I was doing!

For my taste test of Truvia sweetener, I made my favorite Iced Coffee. But instead of sugar, I used 5 packets of Truvia, which is still less real sugar than I usually use. I definitely think Truvia is sweeter than real sugar and my taste buds would be correct because Truvia says that one packet (3.5g) is equal to the same sweetness as two teaspoons (9.5g) of real sugar. For someone who doesn’t like VERY sweet drinks. It didn’t taste bad, but I probably should have only used 2 or 3 packets. Very sweet!

Overall, I think Truvia is a great sugar substitute for those who don’t want to consume real sugar, but I am a little too hesitant. I really only use sugar to sweeten my once a week or less Iced Coffee, so it’s not something I need in my lifestyle. However, I do think it is a lot healthier than other sweetener’s on the market, and would probably recommend to those who do use sweeteners.
