The Holidays are Sweeter with Truvia: 5 Winners

truvia-img-strawberry-rightcolI have buzzed about the taste and benefits of Truvia in the past. It’s a calorie-free sweetener that is so …. sweet! While I usually need packet after packet of other sweeteners, only one packet of Truvia is perfect in my coffee or to sweeten my cereal. That’s because one packet of Truvia has the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar!

You see, I am on a special eating plan that limits the amount of sugar I can have. That can make things a little … bland. But a little Truvia in my oatmeal of coffee can make me feel like I am not denying myself life’s little pleasures.

If you don’t know what Truvia is, here is the down-low. Truvia is made from leaves of a stevia plant. They steep the leaves to capture the sweet rebiana, the best tasting part of the stevia plant. The FDA has affirmed the safety of Truvia Rebiana as a Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use as a general purpose sweetener thanks to a recent rigorous safety evaluation program. It’s great for anyone who is managing their calories or sugars.  So that allows everyone the freedom to buy and try Truvia for some guilt-less pleasure. Truvia was even featured on Martha Stewart – you can see it on her Daily Find.

Now, since we are getting closer to the holidays I wanted to buzz about how you can make the Holidays Sweeter with Truvia. You can bake wonderful holiday treats, like cookies and brownies, with Truvia! All the recipes are on Truvia, but definitely check it out to make reduced sugar and lower calorie treats like:
