Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

 In my Influenster Love Voxbox I was giving Truvia Natural Sweetener to try. It has taken me a little bit to write a review because I am not sure what I think about it. I have used it in hot tea, on fruit and in ice coffee. I think the only way that I enjoyed it was in the hot tea. When it was in the tea it blended well and gave the perfect sweetness to the tea. When I used it on the fruit and in the ice coffee it left kind of an after taste in my mouth. I did not like that at all about the product. It was also harder to mix in the ice coffee than regular sugar. So what I get from it is that it would be ok in hot products but I would not use it in cold ones. I personally do not think that I would buy the product again because of the after taste. Here is their web site if you would like to take a look. If you use sweeteners already I think you should give it try, but it is just different for someone who has always used real sugar. http://truvia.com/http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm280586.htmhttp://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm280586.htmhttp://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm280586.htm

Baked Classics

I received some interesting new crisps to try and review last week. They are from Baked Classic and they are in the flavor Vanilla Frosting. It is a 1oz bag with 120 calories. They are gluten free, have no Trans fats or cholesterol. They are a multigrain crisp, which is very new to me. I will admit when I saw the flavor I felt a little odd about it. Who would think of vanilla frosting as a flavor for crisps? I had everyone in my house try them and they went over well.  They kind of feel like a super thin rice cake, but much more of a chip crunch to them. I really like the texture of them, very different than anything else I have tried out in the market. The taste does remind me of vanilla frosting; they hit the nail on the head there. It is a nice light flavor though. They are not overly sweet or strong, I think it is just right. It gives me just that little bit of sweetness that I am looking for. I think they are kind of addicting, you eat one than you just keep going back for more. They are a great snack to have a night when my craving for something sweet hits, so I do not munch down a piece of cake or something. They do not leave an after taste in your mouth, which I sometimes find with food in this line. I think overall this is a great bag of crisps. I would most definitely recommend them to anyone. If you are looking for new snack foods I say give them a try ASAP. Here is their site so you can check them out and find out what other great products they carry. I personally cannot wait to try the other products that they have.
