PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener Review

I recently received a box of 40 sticks of PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener to try. I use Splenda in my coffee but am always open to trying other sweeteners, especially ones that claim to be 100% safe. I found that PureVia is a decent sweetener but isn't nearly as sweet as it claims to be. I still prefer Splenda but PureVia definitely tastes better than other non-sugar sweeteners I have tried.

About  PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener

The box I received contains 40 small, thin paper sticks of the product. One stick is supposed to equal the sweetness of two teaspoons of table sugar. PureVia is made from the stevia plant which is all natural and has no calories. According to the manufacturer, the "sweetness comes from Rebaudioside A (Reb A) which is the sweetest and purest extract of the stevia leaf. This natural sweetener is more than 200 times sweeter than sugar."

I usually use one packet of Splenda in my coffee. I tried one stick of PureVia, which looks very much like regular sugar, in my coffee and found it just wasn't sweet enough. I really don't think it contains the sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar.

As far as taste though, PureVia is pretty good. I didn't experience any aftertaste and, when I got my Coffee sweet enough, it tasted fine. Definitely PureVia tastes much better than Sweet n'Low and Equal, both of which I have used and didn't like. It's safe and has no calories and, for someone who is watching their calories, that's a big plus.

I have hypoglycemia and sugar spikes are not good for me. PureVia doesn't cause those to happen because my body doesn't recognize it as sugar. I don't seem to have any spikes from Splenda either although that does have a few carbs whereas PureVia has none.

My Viewpoint

I like PureVia but don't feel it is sweet enough. I still prefer Splenda and will continue using it but would purchase PureVia if it were on sale for a low price or for some other reason that made it a better deal than Splenda. It's safe and natural and that is a big plus. I give it 4 stars.
