SweetLeafSweet 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.

I used to purchase the unsweetened sweet drops but found myself starting to use extracts to flavor most of the drinks I used it in, so decided to give this a try. SO glad I did. This sweetener is wonderful.I've been trying to drink more water (never been a fan of sugary sodas, but I can't really get into drinking 64oz of unflavored water a day, either), so this is perfect.I actually find myself craving seltzer water often (an FYI tidbit: craving carbonated beverages is usually an indication of calcium deficiency--especially in women), so one day I decided to add half a dropper of this sweetener into a can of plain seltzer water and, to my unexpected joy, discovered that it tastes exactly like creme soda...which I always loved as a kid but can't really justify these days. (The surge in blood sugar alone, combined with the insulin dump it triggers, is enough to keep me from drinking it. But then you have the wasted calories! And I'm hypothyroid, so I definitely don't need any of those...)I do wish it came in a bigger bottle. In the summer heat, working out in the yard I find myself drinking upwards of a gallon of water a day (I know...not normal, but I have a genetic condition called dysautonomia, so there isn't much about my body that operates like everyone else's). So I end up going through a bottle a week sometimes. Still...given that it keeps me hydrated and without packing a thousand or more extra calories into my daily intake makes it a brilliant, and very welcome, addition to my diet!

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!

The SweetLeaf drops are a great sweetener option for me and the `Vanilla Cream` is the basic vanilla flavor I need in the kitchen.I only use Stevia as sweetener and I want to avoid vanilla flavoring containing alcohol or glycerin. The vanilla flavor isn't the best, nor the strongest, but it's an enjoyable flavor and serves my purposes. The flavor kind of gets lost when combined with other flavors, but on it's own adds just a mild nice vanilla hint. I don't recommend adding extra drops to get more vanilla flavor; you get that odd somewhat bitter Stevia taste when using too much.The dropper format is very convenient and after some experimentation you get determine the ideal drop count per serving (which will depend on the usage). For warm oatmeal, pancakes and baking I tend to use 10 drops per serving (the flavor and sweetness diminishes when cooking with these drops, so I add more). For overnight oats and yogurt I use 5 drops per serving. I don't like Stevia in coffee and warm drinks, it gets that odd somewhat bitter Stevia taste. It's indeed cost efficient, given the amount of drops one needs.For me it's a good product since it just adds a little sweetness and vanilla flavor. This is not a product to replace sugar in baking nor to satisfy someone who really likes a sweet taste.At first I was kind of disappointed by this sweetener, but after I tried it in several ways and experimented with it, I really came to like it. I think it's a product you have to come accustomed with.

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