Quick View: I am a Splenda girl. I did the blue packets and the pink ones and, of course, the white ones which are pure cane sugar. Obviously sugar tastes the best and is probably in many ways the healthiest of all the sweeteners but I drink a lot of iced tea that I sweeten myself and those calories...

I recently received a box of PureVia, a Stevia-based natural sweetener in exchange for my unbiased review of the product.  Nothing new for me, I've participated in this way with a number of manufacturers.

Now as many of you may know, there's this whole thing regarding natural vs. artificial sweeteners...

Bottom-Line: Overall, PureVia is a good sugar substitute for me because it's a natural product with zero calories.

My first thought after trying out PureVia sweetener was that if soft drink makers used this product in their diet sodas, maybe they would taste slightly better than they do now.   PureVia is a zero-calorie, all natural product without the strong aftertaste that gives diet soda its distinctive, not-quite-right taste.  As a diabetic, I have given up sugary sodas and use sugar substitutes in my coffee and tea.  So, I decided to try my PureVia with a cup of hot cranberry pomegranate...

I was excited to find that I had been selected to receive a free box of PureVia All Natural Sweetener.  Why?  Free things are always good, and I love to try new products.  And, since my husband is a diabetic, I thought this would be great for him to try as well.

PureVia All Natural Sweetener is an all natural sweetener made from the extract of the stevia plant.  It's all natural and contains zero calories.  The product is packaged in single serve packets that are skinny and about 2.5 inches long and referred to on the box as "sticks".  Each stick is considered...

Being a HUGE fan of sugar and it's many uses, I am the alternative sweetener skeptic. There is nothing that compares to it.

PureVia is a little different. While it is unlikely to completely replace sugar in my diet, it can definitely convince me to reduce my intake. It does't have a funky aftertaste like arificial sweeteners do, so it doesn't ruin the flavor of my coffee and tea. I also don't have the weakness that comes with low morning blood suar levels, showing that this can be a significant part of my diet.

It did take more than expected (according to the package indications) to sweeten my...

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....

I am a type 1 diabetic so sweeteners and I go way back.  I've used Sweet N Low, Equal, Splenda and anything and everything else out there, but PureVia might have won my loyalty, that is, until the next sweetener comes out!  They claim zero calorie; however, the nutritional information plainly states that there are two grams of carbohydrate per serving and the last time I checked, carbohydrate was 4kcal per gram.  Simple math tells you that PureVia has 8kcal per serving, but the fact that it had less than one gram of sugar per serving allows them to claim zero.  8kcal is nothing in the grand...

I wish that I could say that I really enjoyed Pure Via but I was disappointed. I had heard quite a bit of positive buzz in recent months so I was really looking foward to trying it. I did try the Pure Via in both coffee and tea but I just did not like the taste of it. I also tasted it straight from the packet itself so that I could really sense its flavor. I could not detect a scent from it but there was definitely a strong taste. It almost seemed sweet at first but then there was a quick bitter taste nd then an aftertaste. The aftertaste stayed with me for a little while which I really did not...

I was thrilled to receive the sample of Purevia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener from Viewpoints because my recent return to work means a huge influx of coffee--and for that, I need sweetener. I typically use Splenda but I was happy to try something new, and especially, something that is natural rather than a chemical concoction. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste that Purevia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener offers.

What is different about this product is how it is derived from the stevia leaf, which is a sweet, all-natural herb that contains no calories or carbohydrates. For...

Thanks to a opportunity here in Viewpoints I finally got to see what all the "fuss" was about with PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener. My friends had raved about it, my neighbor even posted on Facebook how we HAD to try it.  So, when the opportunity came along to try it I was happily surprised to find that I had an entire box of little white packets of sugar substitute to give a try.  One just wouldn't have been enough since I was interested in using this on so many different things. 

First, for the most part I am a pink packet sugar alternative sweetener.  I had gestational diabetes...

I received a free sample of PureVia from Viewpoints. I am always looking into trying new things, especially if it's better for you.

PureVia is a product put out by the Whole Earth Company. It's an all natural, zero calorie sweetener. It's made from the sweetest part of the stevia plant.

The packaging for the product is nice. The box comes with 40 sticks. It is said that using one packet is like using two teaspoons of sugar.

I had an open mind when trying the product for the first time. To be honest I'm not a big fan of artificial sweeteners. I find that most of them have a bad aftertaste.

When...

I normally buy raw brown sugar for my coffee.  As I was getting ready to pick up my usual brown sugar I noticed two brands of sweetener next to it.  One was PureVia.   I don't mind trying new things, especially if I can try something healthy.  I bought it and brought it home.  I had a fresh pot of coffee going so I couldn't wait to try this.  I've tried Sweet 'n low and Splenda, but these both leave a weird aftertaste in my mouth.  I used two packs of Purevia in my cup.  The first thing I noticed was my coffee was sweet.  Most of the others take several packs to get it sweet.  Secondly,...

I REALLY wanted to love this product. I received a free sample of PureVia through Viewpoints. In fact, the free sample was an entire box of PurVia all-natural zero calorie sweetener, which includes 40 singe serve sticks. I really liked the look of the packaging and the way the sweetener comes in "sticks" instead of packets. But....unfortunately I didn't care for the taste. I normally use Equal instead of sugar in my coffee each morning. I gave up sugar in my coffee several years ago, and it did take awhile to adjust to using Equal, so when I first tasted PureVia, I thought that just maybe... review »

It was Serendipity for me -- my free sample of Pure Via All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener arrived just a few minutes before my Peapod order was delivered the other day.  The first thing I did -- even before putting everything away -- was to heat up a bowl of Amy's Oatmeal and top it with fresh blueberries and Pure Via.  With fresh natural food like that, most artificial sweeteners would have failed the taste test but of course Pure Via isn't artificial but rather "an all natural, zero calorie sweetener made from the pure, sweet extract of the Stevia plant."  The Whole Earth Sweetener Company...

health conscious, rarely using sweeteners, always working out

I am not a coffee drinker and typically do not use artificial sugars on my food, but we had some samples of PureVia in the office and so I decided to give it a try after doing a little research on it. I always want to know what I am putting in my body. I'm a health nut.

PureVia is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener that is extracted from stevia plants, a natural herb. Stevia is sweet because of two primary components, one of which is Reb A. Reb A is used in PureVia because it is the sweetest natural part of stevia. It is 200x stronger than real sugar. That is sweet!

So, how did I like PureVia?
