SweetLeaf Sweet Drops Liquid Stevia Sweetener, Vanilla Creme, 2 Fl Ounce

I have been using these products for years. While they do have different flavors, the vanilla flavor is my favorite. You can literally use this in cooking, baking, coffee, water, shakes, yogurt, just about anything you can imagine. I have a very sensitive stomach regarding anything that is sugar-free and these do not bother my stomach at all. These are very concentrated so you don’t need much, for example, I put five small drops in my husband‘s mason jar of overnight oats every morning. I never go without these in my pantry. Excellent product.

Great way to get rid of your craving. Cravings satisfied while getting your water intake

Stevia is a 100% natural sweetener, it comes from the leaves of the Stevia plant, and I really like this brand of liquid Stevia. It is VERY sweet so you just need a few drops. I find it best to add a lot less than you think you'll need and then keep slowly adding a drop at a time and tasting to make sure you don't get it too sweet. Stevia has a tendency to taste bitter when you use too much or with the wrong thing, like chocolate. I think the vanilla flavor in the Stevia really adds something to recipes (like Chia pudding), but my favorite use is a few drops in tea - really helps satisfy my sweet tooth. This is my third bottle of this brand of Stevia, but to be fair, the last one got knocked over and broke when it was about halfway full.I have read how people buy the root beer flavored one and put it in sparkling water, but I have yet to try that.

Okay.... I'm officially addicted to this stuff! It just makes everything better. And it does it without adding any calories or causing glycemic spikes! Since it has a glycemic index of ZERO, it is an EXCELLENT choice for diabetics and dieters who would rather avoid the nasty chemical laden artificial sweeteners.The Stevia plant has been used for thousands of years to naturally sweeten food and drinks. It is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, so a little goes a long way! You can use the whole leaf and steep it with tea, use the dry leaves and crush to create a powder, or you can make a liquid extract from the leaves. Using the whole leaf can sometimes leave a bitter aftertaste, so I generally prefer the liquid extract.Sweet Leaf Vanilla Creme Liquid Stevia adds sweetness with a fabulous dash of rich, earthy vanilla. There is ZERO bitterness or funky aftertastes. It blends perfectly into everything. I have NOT tried it with baking, but I wouldn't recommend it. They have a powder that works great in baked goods as a sugar substitute!Personally, I use it every morning in my coffee! It that splash of vanilla really helps wake me up and gets my day started right. I also use this in my tea - both hot and iced. It is particularly awesome in red, black, (most) herbal, and tea blends! My smoothies also get a nice shot of this! It tricks me into thinking I'm having a naughty, sugary treat. I get the satisfaction without the consequences! It works beautifully in fruit based smoothies. Power smoothies are hit or miss and I would highly recommend testing it on a SMALL bit of your prepared smoothie before adding to the whole thing. That way, if you don't like it, you haven't ruined an entire smoothie.Unfortunately, I've been addicted! I'm never without it at home and I'm trying to figure out the best way to carry some with me at all times! I'm thinking of getting one of those nasty flavor pods, washing it out then filling it with the stevia! Lulz!If you think about how much sugar, calories, and carbs you can reduce if not eliminate from your diet using Stevia, it can quickly make a HUGE difference in your diet! And it's delicious! I'd use it even if I wasn't concerned about my waistline!My one complaint - and the reason I deducted one star - is that this is NOT as sweet as the plain extract. I assume it's because the vanilla flavorings dilute the stevia some. But I definitely have to use more compared to the same application using the plain. So, to compensate, I keep a bottle of both on hand and use a personalized ratio of each. That way, I get the delicious vanilla creme flavor and all the sweetness I want! I use different ratios for each type of drink or smoothie I make. You just need to experiment a little to find your *sweet spot*!It's certainly NOT a deal breaker, but I wanted to mention it. If this is your first experience with stevia, I HIGHLY recommend getting a bottle of the plain to go with it. That way, you can taste how sweet pure stevia really is! And, if you have a serious sweet tooth like me, you can get your "sugar" fix without overdosing on vanilla!Aside from that one minor gripe, I absolutely love this stevia and I very highly recommend it!If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reply to this review, tweet me, or shoot me an email! There are links to both my Twitter and email in my Amazon profile. Thanks! I wish you happiness and health! :-)

Love this in my iced coffee. Delicious and guilt free!

I love these sweet drops! Caution -- a little goes a long way, go easy on the drops! Over the past year, I've moved away from using the standard liquid creamers. I have Fibromyalgia and inflammation issues. I've learned over time that all the chemicals and synthetic sweeteners absolutely wreak havoc on my body, joint and tissue pain, skin problems, etc. If I travel and find myself without my new alternatives, my body reminds me that the "fake" creamers literally HURT ME.I love flavored coffee but needed a natural alternative in which I could incorporate other items, like ghee butter and MCT for bullet proof coffee. My coffee making has become a bit of a ritual, but it's worth the little bit of effort!I pour some plant based creamer I buy here too called Nut Pods into my coffee cup. I've used Hazelnut and lately I'm in love with a 'Lemon Vanilla' flavor, which sounds odd for coffee but trust me it is VERY subtle with the lemon. More like eating a delicate lemon sugar cookie with your coffee. Surprisingly refreshing against the coffee flavor. The hazelnut Nut Pod flavor also matches very well with these vanilla creme sweet drops.I pour a little Power Creamer, which is basically a bottle of pre-blended ghee butter and MCT oil in perfect measurement (bulletproof coffee concept). I either use a few drops of Vanilla Creme sweet drops, or 1 drop + a tiniest amount of Truvia Nectar. I heat that up for about 10 seconds. I pour that in my stainless steel frother with a small bit of coffee. I only pour that small amount in so that the frother can reach the liquid at bottom, since this is a single cup of coffee.I pour this mixture into my coffee cup and pour the rest of my coffee. Sprinkle on a little cinnamon sometimes just for the added health benefits using cinnamon provides. Boom - delicious coffee that is healthier and gives me a boost first thing in the morning. I was making the above mixture even before these sweet drops. I can only say the addition of the sweet drops has been a bonus, plus I also use it in my protein shake in the morning and it adds just a hint of sweetness that helps the shake taste better to me.You will not be disappointed with these drops!

Bottle is deceptive - it lasts a lot longer than you would think!
