If you are not familiar with stevia, it's a natural, no calorie sweetener. Now-a-days with it's gaining popularity there are a lot of big names (yep, Coca Cola and PepsiCo!) coming out with a stevia based product like Truvia and Pure Via. Unfortunately, those companies aren't really concerned about your health and their stevia products go through a chemically driven 40 step process to get you the white powdered outcome. (Sigh) In fact, the first ingredient in Truvia and Pure Via isn't even stevia!
I have been using NuNatrua's stevia for YEARS and it's a brand I trust. They start with non - GMO stevia leaves and use cold water for extraction. If you really want the healthiest form of stevia (other than growing it in your backyard!) I suggest buying NuNaturals Pure White Stevia Extract (there are no fillers like maltodextrin in that product, but let me warn you, a LITTLE goes a long way!)
My friend Ron from NuNaturals has offered to give FOUR of my readers (approx. $50.00 value) gift box of:
Bottle of Cherry Vanilla NuStevia liquid
50 packet box of NuNaturals Nustevia White Stevia Packets
Bottle of their new NuStevia Cocoa Syrup
Bottle of their NuNaturals Simple Syrup
AND a fun free bonus product. :-)
I suppose I can't enter myself but I hope my mom does as I know she'll share with me - hee,hee.
Actually, Ron sends me samples to try out too....but of course all my opinions on NuNatural's stevia are my own. (-:

No, the cute little girl is not the "fun free bonus product" :-)
I just tried out the NuNaturals Cherry Vanilla NuStevia
in a bottle of sparkling water and it was amazing - I've been off standard "pop" or "soda" for about 6 years now so having a natural healthy alternative has been awesome.
I also tried the very low calorie NuStevia Cocoa Syrup
in some flax milk and LOVED it! I might have liked it a little better over salted caramel ice cream but I'm trying to be "good" ;-)
NuNaturals can't ship to PO Boxes BUT they can now ship WORLDWIDE :-) You can fill in just 1 entry or all 4. Either way, I think it will be pretty great odds of winning :-)

In a few days I'll post three of my three favorite healthy breakfasts that use a bit of stevia. Believe me, the ingredients might surprise you but it's a DELICIOUS breakfast that has a great balance of carbohydrates, fats and protein all wrapped up in one yummy bowl. :-)
I found a great post written about the different forms of stevia and a baking conversion chart. She mostly showcases the Sweetleaf brand but it can be used for any types of stevia. She has the same belief as I do about choosing the best stevias for your body so I am adding her link - enjoy!
Once again, in my opinion, the healthiest choice of stevia is the NuNaturals Alcohol Free Stevia and the NuNaturals Pure White Stevia Extract (This is because they are the purest form of stevia and can be chosen without fillers - some of the other varieties, even the NuNaturals brand contains a filler)
Can't wait to see who wins and show you the breakfast post so you can give stevia a try!
What a great giveaway! I use stevia from wholefoods. I haven't had soda either and haven't tried any of these cool products. Di@Cottage-Wishes

ReplyDeleteI've used the baking blend for muffins, loaves, and brownies. It's so good!
ReplyDeleteI have never used it before.
