Homemade Truvia |
My favorite is a homemade version of Truvia. The actual truvia has “natural flavors” as one of the ingredients which in my opinion leaves a strange aftertaste, almost like vanilla. The homemade one does not have any mysterious natural flavors added and is the one that most tastes like sugar to me.
The good thing is that it’s easy to make. The bad thing is that it isn’t subsidized by the government so it isn’t cheap.
The ingredients you’ll need are either xylitol or erythritol. Either will work. I cannot find erythritol locally but it can be ordered through Amazon. However, I CAN find xylitol in a local healthfood store, Native Sun. I buy the biggest bag they carry. And the other ingredient is stevia extract powder.

Xylitol and stevia extract |
I like the KAL brand from Native Sun but they recently changed their formulation and added maltodextrin as an added ingredient. That is NOT on plan. You want to be sure that there are NO added ingredients.

If the KAL brand has added ingredients then try NOW. That can be ordered online. And that’s it!
