Review and Giveaway of NuNaturals Stevia products

 

What a fun post today!  Thank you so much to the NuNaturals company for sending me a box of wonderful natural sugar-free gluten-free products to try out!  I received five bottles of liquid NuStevia:  Peppermint, Vanilla, Orange, Lemon, and Plain; a package of Presweet Tagatose; and NuStevia Prebiotic blend.

Stevia is derived from a leaf that is used as a sweetener.  Many Stevia products on the market have a bitter aftertaste, but not NuStevia!  NuNaturals sells it in powdered form, as well as in a concentrated liquid, and even flavored liquids!

PreSweet Tagatose is a naturally-occurring sweetener found in milk, fruits and vegetables. It is 92% as sweet as sugar. PreSweet is a low calorie (6 calories/serving), low GI (3 on the glycemic index), and low in carbohydrates (especially considering that many of the carbohydrates are not digested).  And it browns like sugar!

 

Here are the recipes I tried.  They all turned out great!  (My apologies for the photos–the food really did taste much better than it looks!)

1.  Chamomile Tea with a few drops of Peppermint Stevia.  I felt like I was drinking a candy cane!

2.  Orange Muffins-  made with Orange NuStevia.  My kids loved these–I’ll definitely make them again.

3.  Ginger- Mint Syrup served over fresh pears.  I substituted Peppermint NuStevia for the fresh mint leaves and used Tagatose instead of sugar.  Yummy, unique dessert!

4.  Sweet and Sour Chicken.  I’ve never made this before.  I made it with Tagatose instead of sugar, and it was wonderful!

5.  Mini brownies– made with Tagatose instead of sugar.  I topped them with marshmallows and chocolate chips for fun.

6.  Lemonade-  made with cold water and a few drops of Lemon NuStevia

They have lots of recipes on their website–I’ll be trying out more!

 

If we had a medical issue with sugar in our home, I would definitely purchase Presweet Tagatose for baking and cooking.  It is a wonderful product; diabetics will be thrilled with it!

My mom is allergic to sugar alcohols (Xylitol and Erythritol), so it’s wonderful to have NuStevia as an alternative.
