oh for the love of sugar!

I've been trying to cut out sugar for years, on the advice of my ND (and my own common sense - if you saw my daily intake, you would wonder how I still have teeth...). This year I've gotten off to a pretty good start, thanks to the all-natural, calorie-free Stevia sweetener. If you've never heard of it, you're not alone. I hadn't heard of it before either.

Now, there are quite a few options out there, surprisingly enough, and like anything new to your palette, they can take a bit of getting used to. (Have you ever tried switching to soy milk?) Hence the reason I've been so slow to kick the sugar addiction... But I'm happy to report I found a fabulous Stevia sweetener and have even been using it in my Timmy's tea! It's called French Vanilla Stevia Extract Blend by Herbal Select (it has natural french vanilla flavour). It comes in convenient packets equivalent to 2 tsp. of sugar (perfect since that's how much I used to add to my tea) and I can carry them in my purse.
