Sweetener of Choice page

This is not a thread to declare how much you are against sweeteners or "I dont sweeten anything because I'm primal and my tastebuds are super (d)evolved!"

What it IS, is a thread to discuss sweeteners for those of us that still want to add sweetness to our coffees/teas/desserts!

I purchased the following and its going to be delivered today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product

Did I just buy something nasty? Would you recommend I try something else once I use this up?

What do YOU use?

[MeatMe216]

I'll use a lil bit of honey on BBQ and in tea sometimes
or a really ripe bannana in a smoothie
The whey protein powder I use has a little bit of artificial sweetness too it that makes my smoothies taste like a milkshake

Mark's "Primal Cookbook" uses raw organic honey or Grade B real maple syrup as a sweetener. Also, he recommends Dutch cocoa.

ahh forgot about maple syrup. I love adding a lil splash of maple syrup to cooked pork sausage

[Rivvin]

Ah yes, I put Hershey's Special Dark Powder in my coffee almost every morning... I am in love with it

I would prefer something a bit more higher quality, but thats about all I've found where I live.

I use stevia, I'm one of those strange people that like the taste lol I find the powder is much more bitter. Good choice on grabbing the liquid! 5 drops =1tsp of sugar sweetness btw. It does have a bit of a liquorice taste to it when I put it in my coffee.

I use grade B maple syrup (and a bit of water) to deglaze the fry pan after cooking a steak: makes great sauce.

Berries. Coconut Milk. Cream.

I'm a recovering sugar junkie. Anything real sweet is just a gateway drug to me.

Stevia here... I've got both the liquid extract, and the powder form. Both taste good to me.. I use it in tea, coffee, and to sweeten up cranberry juice.
